Mercury Bow

In 1 collection by Zaljerem

Description
From the 2001 Bungie game "Oni".

"Unlike its low tech-namesakes, this 'bow' fires a compressed sliver of frozen mercury at ultra-high velocity. Damage comes both from the initial trauma of impact, and subsequent mercury poisoning."

Longer range than sniper rifle, twice as damaging, slow recharge. Additional stopping power and armor penetration.

Currently player-only (I mean, if you want spacers wrecking you with this, ok - I can change it :) )
Requires Charged Shot research, Crafting:9, 60 Plasteel, 4 Advanced Components, Fabrication Bench.

(Mercury poisoning not yet implemented)

still a cool weapon, nonetheless. maybe it could work similarly to the Venom Fangs bionic in terms of poisoning enemies? cheers

No poison damage. I've been thinking about trying to implement the mercury poisoning mentioned (from the game this is based on) but it is strictly bullet damage right now.

i could've swore this thing did poison damage. is the mod description still accurate?

Good points and excellent ideas. I don't run VFE - Pirates so I hadn't really considered that angle. I'll take that into consideration for an update soon.

But at the same time, the venom effect would make this a very effective anti Warcasket weapon. would like to see it balanced further down the tech tree or give it out as a quest item only.

That description is straight from the original game, but yes, probably so.

Well if you don't add it maybe you should take out "and subsequent mercury poisoning." from the description?
Zaljerem  [author] 29 Mar, 2022 @ 5:06am 
Haven't decided how or even if I will implement it. It's not really necessary; this thing is really powerful enough as it stands.

Mercury poisoning will work like venom fangs or venom talon? Or more than that? As severity of poisoning I mean

Thank you. :) I updated the description as well, sorry it wasn't there originally.
