The needle gun is an mechanoid-only ranged weapon. It is the main armament of the pikeman.

This weapon cannot be independently obtained in normal play. It is provided here for comparisons sake.

Acquisition[edit]

Needle guns spawn on all pikemen, including those gestated by a colony. However, it is not possible to obtain it directly in normal play. Pawns carrying it will not drop it on death, downing, or complete loss of manipulation like other weapons. It can be spawned in by the Debug actions menu but, like all unobtainable weapons, will disappear after being dropped.

Analysis[edit]

The needle gun essentially takes the low fire rate of the charge lance with the lower single shot damage of the heavy charge blaster. It is relatively harmless, most of the time, able to destroy small unarmored body parts. However, there's a rare chance that it gets a good shot off the brain, especially without headgear.

      It may also change depending on the stats and the melee verbs available to the wielder if the weapon is wielded by some other than a baseline human.
