Power Cells are one of the 5 types of ammunition in Tabula Rasa. They are used both in Repair Tools and in most weapons that deal non-physical damage, such as EMP or sonic damage. Power Cells are more expensive than cartridges. Additionally, most (but not all) weapons that use Power Cells as ammunition have clips that are smaller than cartridge-based equivalents, requiring them to be reloaded more frequently. They can be purchased from most standard vendors, or fabricated using a schematic.

Grades Edit

The grade of ammunition required depends on the level of the weapon. There is no difference at all between different grades apart from the cost.

Grade	Cost per unit	Approx level range
Standard Grade Power Cells	3	1 - 17
Improved Grade Power Cells	6	18 - 32
High Grade Power Cells	16	32 - 42
Select Grade Power Cells	40	42 - ??
Elite Grade Power Cells	100	?? - 50

FabricationEdit

Power Cells can be created with fabrication by using schematics found on slain enemies. Each schematic is single-use and will produce 250 Power Cells of the specified grade.
