Atomic War Club in GH2
« on: August 04, 2006, 03:18:28 AM »
It's back! Here's a screenshot showing the aftermath of a single use of the atomic war club in GH2.

The AWC is defined as a low level artifact, which means it should be found by characters who have 21-40 points of renown. The Fire of Heaven and the MAGNUS Emerald are medium, the Zeron Armor is high, and the IRIA Ruby is rated as extreme. I have no artifacts of negligible level yet, nor anything new for GH2.

Wow, And all that from one club? I hope its reusable!

Reminds me of HHGTTG, In the third book the evil robots from planet Krikkit (Notice anything?)  and those robots had multiclubs that launched anything between grenades to nukes which were hit by the bats to launch them to their target...

It is reusable, but since your PC will be caught in the blast he might not be.

Wow, how powerful, yet self-destructive at the same time...  If its a PC item, shouldn't there also be a radiated tag?

I'm just wondering, Would it be possible to have a RADIATION damage tag? Only effective against meat of course, But perhaps could work in a fashion similar to Poison, But dealing stat damage or like a weak poison but lasting a long time?

EDIT: Great minds think alike it seems...

There probably should be, yes. The fun thing about the AWC is the fact that it's a Mystery weapon, so when examined in inventory all you see is a "DC:17 Melee Weapon ???" and don't know that it's "Blast 7 Brutal" as well... Oh, the awful letters I got just after adding this weapon to GH1... :)

Tell me more of this evil.

But anyways, How is it possible to hide the special effects tags? I know that the Eris Token has the ??? effect, So is there something in the design file like OBSCURE?

If it has the tag "MYSTERY" in the type <> list, then the game won't display the attack attributes to the player. I know that the Argoseyer's phase bubble also has this tag, and maybe a few other weapons.

Is that what ??? means. After using the Eris token, I just started to assume the ??? made people malfunction.
Somehow I failed to notice that the Phase Bubble had it, I guess.

See, now I'll have to poke around for those attributes and see what they really do.
