Eradicator/Weapons

Weapons and Ammo

One of this game's "selling points" was its large variety of weapons. Unlike in most games, the player doesn't find weapons themselves throughout the game, but rather is supplied with a multi-purpose "super-gun" of sorts, the "Cynetics Model XG9101 Multi-Cannon." Several types of ammo can be found in both lesser and greater capacities. Some, especially the #6 and #7 weapons, vary in their appearance and function depending on the player character.

6	Kamchak: Cluster Bomb, Cluster Bomb Clip	1, 10	50	When fired, is lobbed ahead a short distance, and detonates after a short delay	Explosion is larger and scatters shrapnel

	Eleena: Smokebomb Clip			When fired, is lobbed ahead a short distance. The shell explodes on contact and leaves a canister that discharges damaging smoke for several seconds
	Dan Blaze: Ion Sphere Clip			When fired, is lobbed ahead up to a moderate range, goes "boosh" on contact that does damage, and leaves spots of arcing that do damage on contact
8	Detonation Mine	1	5	[PIP] Ground-based mine that detonates when contacted after being placed, or can be remotely detonated. Caution: these can detonate prematurely and cost a lot of health if you place them while too close to enemies or enemy weapons-fire.
