System Shock 2 Hints

Viral Proliferator

The viral proliferator can damage either human/annelid hybrids or pure annelids. But if you're not careful, you can also damage yourself when you have it set to "human" mode. And you must also collect worms in beakers to refill it -- which I personally think is too much of a hassle for this weapon.
