Didn't Need Two AnywayBeam

A horrific consequence of radiation exposure. At least the arm is still somewhat useful.

Description

Mutation is a gun that fires a slightly homing continuous beam with heavy recoil, leaving a trail of red liquid . Mutation also turns enemies red, though this is a purely cosmetic effect.

Synergies

Neo Tech, Yo:

If the player has Bionic LegBionic Leg or Shock RoundsShock Rounds , Mutation's beam turns blue, leaves puddles of electrified water, and its ammo capacity is increased to 800. The player is immune to electricity while Mutation is held.

Notes

  • Mutation is not a proper goop -spraying weapon, unlike the Mega DouserMega Douser , the PlungerPlunger , or the Fossilized GunFossilized Gun . Unlike those three, Mutation's "stream" loses all momentum and immediately ends when you release the trigger.

Trivia

  • The synergy between the Mutation and Bionic LegBionic Leg/Shock RoundsShock Rounds may be a reference to Tetsuo from the 1982 manga series Akira . Tetsuo similarly possesses a bionic arm, and famously undergoes extreme and disturbing mutations. The synergy's name, "Neo Tech, Yo" also seems to allude to Neotokyo, the setting where the story takes place.
