Magnet Gun

From Red Faction Wiki
  • The Magnet Gun is a weapon in Red Faction: Armageddon.

    Description

    Darius Mason required a lot of power to help him salvage scrap after his fall from grace following the destruction of the Terraformer. The result was the Magnet Gun, a two-stage weapon that was used for black market recovery. A first shot unleashes a magnet. A second fires an anchor, which attracts the original magnet at high speed. A wall, piece of junk, or enemy could thus be flung across vast distances with little energy expenditure.

    The Magnet Gun is one of the most unique and powerful weapons at your disposal - plus it never runs out of ammo. Attach a magnet to a pile of scrap or even a structure and attach an anchor to an enemy. Then stand back and watch as the debris flies through the air and smashes your target. Or you can attach a magnet directly to an enemy and send them flying by attaching an anchor to a distant surface - magnets can be attached to all enemies except Behemoths. For best results, make sure the magnet and anchor are placed far apart. The greater the distance, the greater the velocity of the magnetized target as it flies through the air, resulting in heavier damage upon collision. If you run out of objects to launch, you can always use the Nano Forge's Repair ability (or repair grenades) to create more scrap.
