The Catalyzer is a 2-star handgun.

Description

An advanced alchemical armament adapted from Gremlin mining and demolition devices. Charged Catalyzer bullets envelop the enemy in an energy field that explodes on contact with regular shots.

Attacks

Basic Attack

Fires a very slow moving blue projectile up to 9 squares away, allowing up to 3 shots before reload. Bullets from this gun can set off explosive charges applied by the gun's Charge attack. See below

There is no recoil when using the basic attack and the user can move at approximately half speed while firing.

Charge Attack

Catalyzer charge attack before being ignited by normal shot

Catalyzer charge attack after being ignited by normal shot

Fires a very slow moving, non-lethal energy orb that has a range of 9 squares and will orbit around the enemy after hitting them. The recoil from the attack pushes back the player's Knight 2/3 of a square when firing. If the enemy is struck by a basic attack from this weapon while the orb is in orbit it will detonate, damaging and knocking back the target and all nearby enemies. Having an enemy tagged with multiple orbs will increase the size of the explosion. Any undetonated orbs will expire after 20 seconds.

Note: Since the projectile does not cause any damage, it cannot be used to activate switches, destroy blocks, or free/awaken frozen and sleeping enemies. In addition, any Catalyzer weapon can detonate any explosive charges, it is not restricted to only your own charge rounds. In rare (or well-executed) cases, single charged Catalyzer shots can stick to more than one enemy if they are in close proximity.
