Copper 9 Escape Arsenal

Quickstart

1. When you first join the world, a Release_me.jar countdown plays and you are dropped into Copper‑9 — a frozen industrial crash zone at the edge of the world.
2. You spawn with a Rocket Crafter and a Tactical Armorer Tablet in your inventory.
3. Hold the Tactical Armorer Tablet and use it (right-click / tap) to open the action menu. Choose Starter Kit to grab your first weapons, ammo, and supplies.
4. Use the Rocket Crafter (hold and use) to begin crafting Copper‑9 components — start with Bismuth Ingots and work toward the Escape Rocket.
5. Equip a fusion weapon, watch the action-bar HUD for ammo and threat info, and survive until you can launch.

Overview

Copper 9 Escape Arsenal is a survival-horror escape scenario. You are stranded on Copper‑9, a frozen wreck of an industrial zone. Your goal is to scavenge materials, work through an atomic crafting chain, assemble the Escape Rocket, and launch yourself off the planet. The mod wraps this around a persistent Tactical XP and Rank system, a 192-entry weapons requisition catalog, random horror events, and a suite of utility items to aid your survival.

What It Adds

Key Items and Tools

Fusion Weapons

Eight high-powered v5 fusion weapons are available through the Tablet catalog or crafting. Each has a tier, base damage, and effective range displayed on the HUD when held.

The AK‑74 ultra‑hybrid is crafted via a fusion grid using a Nether Star, applying a 25× power boost over the base weapon.

Copper‑9 Crafting Materials

All of these are produced inside the Rocket Crafter:

How To Use

The Rocket Crafter

Hold the Rocket Crafter and use it to open its menu. Select the recipe you want, confirm you have the listed ingredients in your inventory, and the output item is produced instantly. Work through the material chain — basic alloys first, then circuits and clusters, then rocket sub‑assemblies, and finally the Escape Rocket itself.

The Tactical Armorer Tablet

Hold the Tablet and use it to open a form menu with these sections:

• Starter Kit — one-time grab of basic weapons, ammo, and armor.
• Ammo Resupply — restock Tactical Ammo Packs spending Tactical XP.
• Attachments — acquire Weapon Attachment Kits.
• Requisition Catalog — 192 weapons across 16 categories (SMG, PDW, Carbine, Assault Rifle, DMR, Sniper, LMG, Energy, and more), each unlocked by reaching the required Tactical Rank.

The Action‑Bar HUD

While playing, your action bar displays: current Rank, XP, held weapon name, ammo count, damage, effective range, lock status, and your current Paranoid pressure level. Keep an eye on Paranoid — it rises during horror events and applies darkness and slowness until it clears.

Launching the Escape Rocket

Once you have assembled the Escape Rocket, hold it and use it. Successful launch awards a significant amount of Tactical XP and registers your escape.

Crafting And Obtaining

Crafting Table Recipes

Rocket Crafter — craft this first; it unlocks the entire Copper‑9 progression:

Tactical Armorer Tablet — your command interface for kits and the requisition catalog:

Copper‑9 Salvage Pack — breaks open for scavenged resources:

Emergency Repair Kit — field healing and repairs:

Ore Pulse Scanner — shaped recipe using Copper, Redstone, Quartz, and Iron:

Horror Lure — deliberately summons a horror event:

All Copper‑9 alloys, circuits, rocket parts, and the Escape Rocket itself are crafted exclusively inside the Rocket Crafter, not on a standard crafting table.

Abilities And Mechanics

Tactical XP and Ranks

You earn Tactical XP by surviving, launching the Escape Rocket, and completing combat. There are 11 rank thresholds (XP required: 75 / 175 / 350 / 600 / 950 / 1,400 / 2,000 / 2,800 / 3,800 / 5,200). Higher ranks unlock higher-tier weapons in the Tablet catalog.

Horror Events

Approximately every 15 minutes there is a chance for a horror event to trigger. One of five entities may appear: The Man From The Fog, Entity303, Herobrine, Goat Man, or Siren Head. These entities can dig through terrain toward you and inflict the Paranoid status, which causes darkness and slowness. Paranoid pressure is shown on the HUD and clears when the threat passes. Use a Horror Lure if you want to trigger an event on your own terms.

Paranoid Pressure

When a horror entity is nearby or attacks you, your Paranoid meter fills (up to 1,200 ticks). While Paranoid is active you suffer darkness and slowness effects. The meter drains naturally once the horror retreats.

Aztec Death Whistle

Hold and use the Aztec Death Whistle to simultaneously:

• Kill all nearby hostile mobs.
• Teleport nearby item drops directly to you.
• Highlight nearby ore blocks.

It has a 10-second cooldown.

The Cross Artifact

Hold The Cross in your main hand or offhand to receive its passive effects at all times:

• 128 base damage on attack.
• Massive passive buffs (strength, resistance, and similar effects).
• Fast mining across pickaxe-, axe-, and shovel-type blocks (speed 18).
• Item duplication on use, simplifying vein-mining and auto-smelting.

The Cross has a 1-second use cooldown and is enchantable in the sword slot.

Progression And Strategy

1. Open the Tablet immediately and grab a Starter Kit before exploring.
2. Craft the Ore Pulse Scanner early — Copper‑9's frozen terrain hides the ores you need to advance, and the scanner saves a huge amount of mining time.
3. Build Bismuth Ingots and Copper‑Steel Alloy first in the Rocket Crafter; almost every later recipe depends on them.
4. Climb the Copper‑9 alloy chain in order: basic alloys → Cryo Circuits and Nanite Clusters → Memory Chip and Copper‑9 Alloy → Reactor Shard and Titanium Plate → rocket sub-components → Escape Rocket.
5. Stay armed — horror events are random and escalate. Keep Tactical Ammo Packs stocked through the Tablet resupply.
6. Farm Tactical XP through combat and rocket launches to unlock higher-tier catalog weapons. The AK‑74.PP‑9192 at Tier 10 (120 damage, 110 range) is the most powerful weapon in the mod but requires the Nether Star fusion-grid recipe.
7. Obtain The Cross for the endgame — its passive buffs and item-duplication dramatically accelerate the final push to build and launch the Escape Rocket.
8. Use the Horror Lure deliberately when you are well-armed to farm XP from horror entities, rather than letting events catch you unprepared.
