The minature windshield prevents Splicer splatter
The fine folk from the Cult of Rapture have posted up a rather extensive article today that details the Big Daddy’s spear gun. Why should you care? Because it sounds so damn boss, that’s why. Here’s just a little cut:
Finally, we’ve got an entirely new alternate ammo for BioShock 2: Rocket Spears. These are exactly what they sound like, except more awesome. They’re rocket-propelled spears, and when they attach to Splicers a short fuse ticks down before they explode for massive damage. Splicers of course freak out when they’ve got a Rocket Spear embedded in their bodies; they run around like their hair’s on fire, which it sort of is. The nice thing about this reaction is that they’ll run toward other Splicers for help, so the explosion will often set other Splicers on fire as well. This is, of course, awesome.
That, of course, is awesome. So not only can you look forward to Delta harpooning enemy splicers to walls, but in the best of Australian vernacular you can also literally “get a rocket up ‘em”. Now if only there were a Dog Spears.
Head on over to the Cult Of Rapture to check out the full article, including the concept art. Oh, and how long has it been since you checked in with Mark Meltzer? He misses you.
