Damage resistances
| Damage type | Resistance | Damage taken |
|---|---|---|
| Stab | -50% | 150% |
Resistance is the share of that damage type the Junkpile Scientist ignores, so 100% means it takes none of it at all. Damage types not listed here get through in full. A negative number is a weakness: the game multiplies that damage type up instead of cutting it down.

Shot counts are body shots at point blank with no attachments, on vanilla server settings. Pellet weapons assume every pellet lands, which is why a shotgun looks strong here and is useless at the range this fight actually happens. Times count the reloads.
