SharpTEK Pitch

Here we are facing the harsh reality: the design team at SharpTEK have lost their marbles. The last tranquilizer rifle had plenty of success, but some of you asked for more. We now deliver more. Get ready to feel the power of a warhead in the palm of your hands. The SharpTEK Tranquilizer Railgun is designed to fire special bullets at any target you feel should be annihilated. These bullets explode on impact, releasing a concentrated amount of tranquilizing agent. The down side to all this is that anything weaker than a Giganotosaurus won't survive the impact.

Mod Info

The Tranq Railgun is a powerful weapon designed to fire special bullets. It causes huge amounts of torpor as well as devastating amounts of damage. The downside to all the damage is that anything with less health than a Giganotosaurus won't survive a bullet. As seen from the screenshots, 3 bullets can knock out a level 120 Giganotosaurus.

The gun and ammo can be unlocked at level 100 and the resource requirements can be seen from the screenshots. It is crafted at the fabricator. A magazine holds 5 rounds and it is not an automatic weapon. After a shot is fired, it has a small delay while the weapon readies to fire again.

GameUserSettings.ini Options

The following lines need to be added to change settings (if they are not present, default values will be used):

[SharptekRailgun] DamageAmt=15000 PreventFireUnderwater=False TorporPreset=0

DamageAmt (Integer): sets the amount of damage to the target. The amount of torpor applied is TorporPreset Corresponding Amount * DamageAmt PreventFireUnderwater (Boolean): setting the value to True will prevent firing the weapon underwater. TorporPreset (Integer between 0 and 7): sets the torpor multiplier used with the damage amount. For example, setting this to 3 and DamageAmt to 20 give 2000 torpor per shot. Values that can be used for TorporPreset (any other value defaults to 1.25x): 0 - 1.25x 1 - 10x 2 - 50x 3 - 100x 4 - 1,000x 5 - 10,000x 6 - 100,000x 7 - 1,000,000x
