Weapons

Weapons fire automatically. Your work bag starts with room for 3 weapons and 3 perks and grows with your home, up to 5 weapons and 6 perks from the Mansion on (see your home), and every level-up offers a chance to add a new one or improve one you own. Weapons scale with your passive perks: damage with Noise-Cancelling Headphones, fire rate with Energy Drinks, size with the Big Monitor and so on.

Elements and status effects

Some weapons carry an element. Elements change how Workaholics react, and combining them is where builds get strong:

• 🔥 Fire: Sets Workaholics on fire. Burning enemies spread the fire when they drop. Water puts it out.
• 💧 Water: Soaks Workaholics. Soaked enemies take double Shock damage and freeze harder, but cannot burn.
• ⚡ Shock: Deals double damage to soaked Workaholics.
• ❄️ Ice: Slows Workaholics. Soaked enemies freeze even harder.
• 🧊 Immobilised: anything slowed by 50% or more (frozen, taped down or stunned) takes 40% more damage from every weapon.

Good combinations: the Water Cooler or Mop with Reply All or the Laser Pointer (double Shock damage); the Fire Extinguisher with the Water Cooler (soaked enemies freeze solid); the Tape Dispenser or Megaphone with anything that hits hard. Fire and Water cancel each other out, so think twice before running Hot Coffee with the Mop.

Corporate Mergers

Four of the newer weapons come in pairs. Max both weapons of a pair and the next Supply Crate merges them into one far stronger weapon, freeing up a weapon slot: 🎊 Hole Punch + ➰ Tape Dispenser = 🎉 Confetti Cannon; 🚰 Water Cooler + 🧹 Mop = 🌊 Flood Protocol; 💨 Desk Fan + 🗑️ Paper Shredder = 🌀 Paper Tornado; 🖨️ Printer Turret + 📢 Megaphone = 📡 Intercom Network.
