- Fix Dispersion Pistol altfire not ending early when releasing the button. - Dispersion Pistol now changes fire speed based on upgrade level, as intended. - Reduced Razorclaw twiddle animation frequency, it was getting annoying. - Impaler altfire now doesn't work underwater, as intended. - Impaler crystals deal less damage when underwater. - Impaler no longer loses charge underwater while the crystal is unloaded. - Impaler beam no longer homes in onto friendlies. - Fixed missing Impaler melee obituary. - Flamegun disallows firing while underwater, to prevent wasting ammo uselessly. - Flares and Seeds can be stacked until int.max (give cheats and whatnot are still capped at 20 though). - Fixed Minigun not displaying the bullet box ammo icon in the 0.83 hud. - Fixed mouse input in the main menu at high resolutions (wasn't accounting for scaling, oops). - Added "<item> selected." messages. Dunno if DT will need this too. - Light Sentry now uses the more reliable native IsHostile() function to detect targets. - [flak_m] Added "<weapon> has no ammo." messages.

# Standard weapons
|
|
|
|
## Dispersion Pistol
|
|
|
|
Standard-issue weapon for Vortex Rikers personnel. Not too strong, as it's
|
|
meant to be a deterrent, but can become a deadly weapon with upgrade kits.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Shoots out a burst of energy. The light it emits can be useful
|
|
in dark areas.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Charges the shot up to a maximum of 500% of its original power.
|
|
|
|
The microfusion core it contains can resupply it with ammunition practically
|
|
until the end of time.
|
|
|
|
## Automag
|
|
|
|
A very reliable gunpowder-based firearm, chambered in 9mm. Mag holds 20 shots.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: The typical. Hold for automatic fire.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Due to its characteristics, the firing speed can be improved
|
|
by holding it sideways, although this will make it much harder to aim straight.
|
|
|
|
### Extended behaviour
|
|
|
|
A skilled gunslinger can use two of these at the same time, and with adequate
|
|
coordination, time their shots in a way that virtually doubles the speed at
|
|
which they can deal the pain.
|
|
|
|
## Stinger
|
|
|
|
Proving that hostility is the mother of invention, the Stinger is in fact a
|
|
repurposed mining tool. This weapon breaks down raw tarydium mineral into
|
|
puncturing shards, which are expelled with great force.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: A single shard. Holding down the trigger will initiate a rapid
|
|
fire mode after this initial shot.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Releases five shards at once with some small spread, after
|
|
this the weapon will need a short time to load up ammunition again.
|
|
|
|
### Extended behaviour
|
|
|
|
With each shot, targets will be pumped with highly volatile Tarydium, and can
|
|
be detonated with fire from other weapons, or sufficient kinetic force (e.g.
|
|
making them fall from a considerable height).
|
|
|
|
## ASMD
|
|
|
|
This energy weapon packs quite a punch with each shot. If the energy contained
|
|
within its internal core were to be released all at once the resulting blast
|
|
would be enough to bring down a large building.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: A lightning-fast burst of energy with considerable knockback.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: An unstable, slow moving ball of energy.
|
|
|
|
It is rumored that some sort of combined attack would be possible.
|
|
|
|
## Eightball
|
|
|
|
A powerful weapon. Its nickname comes from the popular pool game, which Skaarj
|
|
hunters apparently had a bloodier, more explosive version of. The Eightball is
|
|
true beauty in the eyes of anyone with a thirst for destruction.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Shoots rockets. Up to 6 can be loaded when holding the trigger.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Lobs unignited rockets as bouncing grenades.
|
|
|
|
Normally the Eightball will fire its rockets in an arc, but by holding both
|
|
triggers simultaneously after the loading sequence has started, it's possible
|
|
to instead fire them in a tightly packed circular pattern.
|
|
|
|
The weapon is additionally equipped with a target designator for the rockets to
|
|
seek. Simply keep your sights on the objective for a moment and it will produce
|
|
an audible signal once it has locked on. Note that this sound will also alert
|
|
the target.
|
|
|
|
## Flak Cannon
|
|
|
|
Kind of a cumbersome weapon, but don't let that fool you. This portable
|
|
artillery can deal quite the damage.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: detonates the mortar shell within the weapon's barrel, resulting
|
|
in a curtain of shrapnel flying in the general direction of your enemies.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Launches the whole mortar shell, which on impact will explode
|
|
and spray shrapnel in the direction it was facing when shot.
|
|
|
|
## Razorjack
|
|
|
|
A Skaarj hunting weapon. Fires large, spinning, serrated blades that bounce
|
|
steadily on hard surfaces and are easily capable of slicing cleanly through
|
|
all but the toughest materials.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Single blades that ricochet off walls, ceilings and floors.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Tilting the weapon, activates a rather limited guiding
|
|
mechanism within the blades, which allows them to alter their trajectory by
|
|
following motion signals from the weapon's built-in accelerometer. For skilled
|
|
users only.
|
|
|
|
### Extended behaviour
|
|
|
|
Holding down the trigger for the primary fire will gradually increase the
|
|
initial spin of the blade, resulting in a faster, more damaging projectile.
|
|
|
|
## GES Biorifle
|
|
|
|
A product of Mercenary engineering, and also a testament to creative
|
|
recycling. This weapon makes use of the highly toxic waste material resulting
|
|
from Tarydium refinement.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Shoots globs of sludge that stick to most surfaces and explode
|
|
violently in contact with living tissue.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Hold to charge up a larger mass of sludge, up to 500% the size
|
|
of a normal shot.
|
|
|
|
## Rifle
|
|
|
|
Nicknamed "Pocket Howitzer" by big game hunters in the farthest reaches of the
|
|
galaxy, this 5ft long carbine packs an incredible wallop.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Long range, highly accurate shots. Aim for the head for extra
|
|
damage.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Toggles a retractable scope for easier long range aim. The Zoom
|
|
button can also be used for this.
|
|
|
|
### Extended behaviour
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire is now replaced with a fast three shot burst, while pressing the
|
|
reload button will toggle the weapon's integrated flashlight. The Zoom button
|
|
will still have the original zoom behaviour.
|
|
|
|
## Minigun
|
|
|
|
Another ballistic weapon, like the Automag. Since they're the same caliber,
|
|
ammunition can be shared between both weapons.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: A rapid barrage of bullets.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: A much faster, but less accurate rain of pain.
|
|
|
|
## SMP 7243
|
|
|
|
A limited edition, gold-plated rapid fire Automag. Magazine holds 100 rounds,
|
|
but believe it or not, they won't last very long.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Full auto, semi-accurate. Empties mag in 9 seconds.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Fuller auto, extremely inaccurate. Empties mag in 3 seconds.
|
|
|
|
# Prototype weapons
|
|
|
|
## Stunner
|
|
|
|
An allegedly "non-lethal" weapon engineered by the Skaarj. Charges up pulses
|
|
of kinetic force.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Build up and release a charge of kinetic force in front of you.
|
|
Any targets unlucky enough to stand in its way will be pushed away.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: "Inverts the polarity" of the charge, which results in the
|
|
complete opposite effect, causing targets to instead be pulled towards you.
|
|
|
|
Since the charge rod rapidly extends on shoot, both fire modes additionally
|
|
deal considerable melee damage to anything that's too close.
|
|
|
|
Its energy supply regenerates much quicker than the Dispersion Pistol, thanks
|
|
to superior Skaarj engineering.
|
|
|
|
## Razorclaw
|
|
|
|
A rudimentary close combat weapon handcrafted by a fellow survivor of the
|
|
Vortex Rikers crash, using a drill and blades salvaged from stolen Skaarj
|
|
Razorjacks.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Spins up the blades, slicing and dicing anything that gets too
|
|
close.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Activates a mechanism in the drill head that pulls the blades
|
|
together, clamping down into a single point. The force of this attack is akin
|
|
to the bite of a large alligator, if it had rusty metal teeth.
|
|
|
|
Due to its simple operation, it's so efficient on battery life that in practice
|
|
it would never run dry.
|
|
|
|
## Teleport Capsules
|
|
|
|
Paired devices that can warp the user instantly between any two points of
|
|
space. The holding unit can be carried comfortably on your belt.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Throw one of the two modules towards your desired destination.
|
|
A built in gyroscope will try to keep it upright on any surface. If you already
|
|
have a unit out, you will instead press the recall button on the second module,
|
|
which will recall its companion.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: With one of the modules out, press the teleport button in the
|
|
second one. This will initiate the teleport process. Make sure there is enough
|
|
space on the destination, as this process will cancel itself otherwise.
|
|
Apparently, living matter sometimes doesn't seem to trigger the safeguard, and
|
|
the device will happily teleport you into the guts of whatever critter is in
|
|
the way, resulting in a gory shower, and a very traumatic experience for
|
|
first-timers. If you don't have a module out, you'll just flip the bird at
|
|
whatever's in front of you. Reload also does this.
|
|
|
|
## Protomag
|
|
|
|
A very rare prototype handgun. Due to the difficulty of its manufacture, it was
|
|
quickly discontinued and not many of these exist. You would have to be pretty
|
|
lucky to come across one.
|
|
|
|
The special trait of this weapon comes into play when you realize that there's
|
|
no need to reload. An experimental entanglement unit inside the gun's internal
|
|
mag locates spare ammunition carried by the user and automatically loads it.
|
|
|
|
Both of its fire modes work exactly like the Automag, although due to
|
|
internal differences, it's a bit weaker in terms of speed and damage. The fact
|
|
that it never needs to reload at least compensates for this.
|
|
|
|
Pressing the reload button makes use of the gun's weight to beat the crap out
|
|
of your enemies up close.
|
|
|
|
As an added bonus, you can press the zoom button to spin the gun. This doesn't
|
|
serve any purpose other than looking cool.
|
|
|
|
## Quadshot
|
|
|
|
A serious man once said "double the gun, double your fun", so clearly, doubling
|
|
what already has been doubled would make things even more fun, right? This
|
|
four-barrel beast of a gun is not to be underestimated.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Shoots one barrel. Moderate damage, short spread.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Shoots all loaded barrels at once. Deadly if fully loaded, but
|
|
the spread is much wider.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to have some cover ready while reloading, because it takes some time.
|
|
|
|
## Peacemaker
|
|
|
|
Standard-issue "room clearing" device manufactured by the Inuit Corporation.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Deploy the device. Hold to increase the activation delay, up to
|
|
9 seconds. Having landed on solid ground, it will wait and then open up and
|
|
release the rockets one by one, after which it will self-destruct. Note that
|
|
these rockets will chase after anything that gets close, so keep your distance.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Same as before, but the device will instead self-destruct right
|
|
away, causing a much bigger boom.
|
|
|
|
## Impaler
|
|
|
|
A powerful energy weapon that uses enriched Tarydium crystals. Wielded by
|
|
members of the Krall Dark Angel clan.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Releases the currently held crystal, upon contact with any
|
|
solid object or surface it will explode spectacularly depending on its charge.
|
|
Its effects and damage are severely weakened when underwater.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Redirects the energy contained within the crystal into an
|
|
unstable beam of energy that arcs between any living creatures in front of the
|
|
user. Doesn't work underwater.
|
|
|
|
Reload: Manually loads/unloads the crystal. Useful if you need to go for a
|
|
swim and don't want to lose that precious charge.
|
|
|
|
With no crystal loaded, both fire modes will be replaced with a melee attack.
|
|
|
|
## Flamethrower
|
|
|
|
A Mercenary weapon built through reverse engineering of scavenged human
|
|
technology.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Ejects a stream of fire up to a range of 40ft. Built-in cooling
|
|
prevents the weapon from overheating, so you can keep spraying for as long as
|
|
you want.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Charges up and shoots an ignited blob of napalm. On impact with
|
|
any surface it will splash little bits of itself around. Anyone who touches the
|
|
stuff will immediately catch on fire.
|
|
|
|
The weapon is completely useless if the user or target are underwater.
|
|
|
|
## Fireblaster
|
|
|
|
Another Mercenary invention, and a direct evolution of the previously listed
|
|
Flamethrower. Shoots green-ish fireballs stabilized by microgravity.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Rapid, steady shots. Costs 10 units of napalm per projectile.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: A slowly charged fireball costing 20 units of napalm. Spreads
|
|
small embers on impact.
|
|
|
|
Like its predecessor, the Fireblaster is obviously completely useless when
|
|
water is involved. A very clever human scientist would eventually solve this,
|
|
but that's a story for another time (and mod).
|
|
|
|
## Demolisher
|
|
|
|
The Demolisher is the crowning achievement of Bigman gunsmithing. Built with
|
|
the finest metals available on Na Pali, and engineered with love for one and
|
|
only one thing: EXPLOSIONS.
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Single explosive shot, high recoil.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Rapid fire. A puny little human like you stands no chance
|
|
against its recoil.
|
|
|
|
Magazine holds 4 shots.
|
|
|
|
## Autocannon
|
|
|
|
A barely portable weapon. Usually these are mounted on ships, you know...
|
|
|
|
Primary fire: Shoots each barrel one at a time. A direct hit is pretty much
|
|
lethal for small targets.
|
|
|
|
Secondary fire: Fires four barrels simultaneously. Watch out for the massive
|
|
recoil.
|
