Lore

“

Arguably the most varied and versatile of machinist instruments, this weapon exhibits vastly different capabilities depending on utilization. The rapid-fire Auto Crossbow, poisonous gases of Bioblaster, and excavating Drill are generally shot from the hip, whereas balancing the weapon's rail on one's shoulder enables firing of the chain-like Air Anchor.
