Summary
Daniel explains red indicators mean full damage, white means reduced damage through armor, and deflection means no penetration. Light-penetrating Liberator and Punisher rounds penetrate light armor but deflect from medium-armored walker heads. Penetration matters only against armor; the lower-damage Penetrator can underperform against unarmored targets, while Slugger’s label appears wrong.
