Ronin - New Iconic Weapon

 

Arasaka's HS-8 Ronin is an experimental modification of the popular Satara, featuring a three phase charging system that improves weapon capabilities as you land fully charged shots. It's simple - hit an enemy with a fully charged shot, progress up a phase. Whatever your phase, the Ronin fires in a horizontal, blade-like pattern with zero vertical spread - perfect for headshots!

Check out the different phases:

Phase 0: Tight spread, slow charge - Alpha strike the enemy's toughest!

Phase 1: Medium spread, medium charge - Soften up tight packs of enemies!

Phase 2: Wide spread, fast charge - Cut across the enemies' ranks!

Track the Ronin's current phase on your buff bar - don't land a shot in time? Goin' down a phase, choom.

Try not to blow your shots too early or you're liable to get a face full of discharge (and not the fun kind)!

Uncharged shots: Minor damage-over-time - to yourself! Zap!

Due to several (unauthorized) workplace incident reports, Arasaka has made available a 'Safety First' edition (located in the optional files section), introducing safety countermeasures to disable this shocking effect (but it's coming out of your paycheck! (not really)).

Where can I get this thing? It's lying 'round the Watson docks, waiting for you to pick it up! Exact location:

Alternatively, you can buy it from the Mr. Blue Eyes vendor (requires linked mod), or can be added to your inventory with the following CET command: Game. AddToInventory("Items. Preset_Satara_Ronin",1)
