 A multi-purpose rifle, designed for use in conjunction with a unified power supply, or UPS. It does not reload normally; instead, press fire once to start charging it from your UPS, then again to unload the charge. 


Notes

Charges slowly from a powered UPS, and upon reaching full charge (8) the rifle begins to beep alarmingly. If you do not fire it manually (in about 9 turns), the weapon will automatically discharge in a random direction.

As the charge level increases so does the power of the shot. A fully charged shot causes a 5x5 explosion and starts fires. Can be mounted on a vehicle (each shot has a small chance to trigger the explosion).

  • 1-2 charges: There is not enough charge so the gun doesn't shoot.
  • 3 charges: There is enough energy to do a small shot that will deal some damage and won't explode or set fires.
  • 4 charges: Increased damage (chance to set enemies on fire).
  • 5 charges: There is enough energy charged to make a 3x3 explosion after the shot hits, also sets the area on fire.
  • 6-7 charges: The charge is enough to increase by one square the explosion radius.
  • 8 charges: The maximum charge the rifle can hold increases the radius of the explosion by 1 again resulting in a 5x5 explosion.

Noise, range, recoil and damage of the rifle increase depending on the charge status.
