Lightning Gun

  • Damage: 11 per second
    Max Ammo: 400
    First Found: Recomposition Center

    This sizzly new weapon will shoot out a powerful lightning bolt as long as you hold down the fire key (and have ammo). You can quickly fry most smaller foes with it, and can even sizzle more than one at a time if they're close together after you get a neat weapon mod.
