The Pepperbox is a 3-star handgun.

Description

A fully automatic handgun capable of rapidly firing powerful bolts of energy.

Attacks

Basic Attack

A single push of the "attack" button causes this gun to fire six medium speed shots in rapid succession. Each shot travels up to 6 squares away and has a chance to inflict fire. While firing, the user can not move, shield, or interrupt the attack. Also, the shots go out in an irregular wave pattern, rather than a straight line... this gun is therefore useful for fighting groups, but it may be difficult to focus the attack on a single enemy unless at a very close range. However, when close enough to the enemy for all bullets to hit a single target, the Pepperbox can be devastating. The user may fire up to two such bursts before reloading.

Charged Attack

Fire fifteen shots in rapid succession. Similar bullet speed and range as the basic attack, but each shot inflicts roughly 150% damage. In addition, shots from the charged attack pull most monsters directly into the origin of the bullets, often ensuring the majority will hit. While this can also be used to pull monsters out of hard-to-reach areas or away from vulnerable teammates, care must be taken; back-stepping away from an incoming melee attack and then unleashing the charge may pull the monster into range to hit the player, if the charged attack fails to knock down or kill the monster first.
