[Discuss] [History] [Revise]Meson Collider

Location/Level Acquired: "Museum of (Super)Natural History"

Category: Composite

The Meson Collider releases a hyper-collided, long-range stream of particles that will vaporize any ectoplasmic material in it's trajectory. The spread is limited but intensly focused, making it great for long- and medium-distance creatures. When a target is hit with the Meson Collider, a temporary target indicator is left behind. As long as it lasts, this indicator will serve as a homing target for projectiles launched using the Meson Collider's secondary fire mode, the Overload Pulse.
NOTE: Please avoid tagging yourself with a homing target. Though it is funny when it happens to someone else, being the recipient of boomeranging Overload Pulse particles is not nearly amusing when it happens to you.

This device is extremely versatile. Aside from being a direct-fire tool capable of inflicting moderate damage when it hits a target head-on, it also leaves a small area of effect for secondary damage on whatever surface it hits. To top things off, the Meson Collider also "paints" a target with a homing beacon for the secondary fire Overload Pulse! Use the Meson Collider's homing ability to home in on small targets, such as a mobile ghost's vulnerable spot.



Upgrades

MESON COLLIDER PENETRATION
Effect: Adds Shot Penetration

It's been determined possible to vent excess bosons from the pack's fermion absorption ring directly into the meson particle stream. The resulting increase in the angular momentum of the meson flow substantially increases the meson Collider's shot penetration potential, allowing the careful user to damage more than one target at a time.
NOTE: While extended proximity to this "enriched" meson stream has resulted in the sterility of laboratory mice, it's impact on humans remains debatable.

Increased shot penetration allows you to inflict direct damage to the intended target while also inflicting splash damage on near by enemies. Once the particle stream hits the primary target, the meson particles will spread to other enemies and penetrate their PK energy. This is useful when fending off enemies in tight quarters or while they bunch up close together.
NOTE: Though it is also helpful against small swarms, other tools like the Boson Dart is more effective.

MESON COLLIDER ACCELERATOR
Effect: Rate of Fire Increase

Extending the Proton Pack's ring accelerator helix increases the surface area of the collider's radiator. Though a secondary stabilizer is required to maintain quark/antiquark balance, the resulting meson stream recharge acceleration provides noticeable rate of fire increase.

This increases the rate at which you can fire your Meson Collider. As a stand-alone device, the Meson Collider lacks the damage output of the Overload Pulse; this upgrade closes the gap significantly and allows you to inflict more damage while imprinting a target with a homing beacon.
