Nano Nuke Impact

The Scorpio is a craftable Hardmode launcher. When used with its primary fire (Left Click), it warms up for a moment before firing a burst of 7 nano missiles (consuming one rocket per missile fired), with a short cooldown between each burst. Nano missiles pause when shot, then begin to accelerate and home in on enemies, creating a small explosion on hit that deals 80% less damage for each subsequent hit. Each barrage charges the weapon up to 3 times, indicated by the intensity of the weapon's exhaust. When used with its secondary fire (Right Click) at full charge, it consumes all charge and one rocket to fire a high-velocity nano nuke that deals 1500% of the weapon's damage and creates a horizontal blast on the first target hit, which pierces infinitely. Addtionally, the cooldown of the weapon's primary fire is reset. All charge is lost when the weapon stops firing.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

History

edit

These history sections are still a work-in-progress, and may not yet contain changes relevant to the current version of the Calamity Mod.

• 2.0.4.001:
  • Reworked:
    • Nerfed damage from 40 to 33 and shot speed from 20 to 15, but buffed use time from 13 to 8.
    • No longer rapidly fires homing rockets on left click, or slowly fires homing rockets with a larger explosion radius on right click.
    • Holding left click now fires bursts of nano missiles which pause before speeding up and homing in on enemies. Every time the weapon is fired, energy is charged on the back of the weapon, reaching its maximum after 3 uses.
    • Right clicking while firing at full charge will launch an extremely fast nano nuke which deals 15x base damage and has extremely weak homing. When the nuke is fired, the cooldown on the left click missile burst is reset, allowing for bursts to be fired consecutively.
