📋 About This Mod
Details:
Original concept art was done by TheKite!
Adds the Archimedes-II finder module as multi-purpose weapons platform.
Three unique firing modes: Flare charger, Dissapator beam, and Orbital Designation
When in Orbital Designation mode the weapon acts as a laser pointer that calls in an orbital strike from the Archimedes-II satellite.
--Laser must be held steady for several seconds before the strike imitates.
--Does not cost ammo, has a in-game cooldown of 24 hours
--Orbital strike cooldown and laser designation time can be reduced at a weapons bench with Science! perks.
The three modes can be toggled anywhere in the world by equipping the weapon though the inventory menu (paused game), equipping the weapon through hotkeys will skip the mode swap menu.
The Direct-Fire modes (Flare/Dissapator) can scale with any weapon perk, switchable at a weapons bench.
There is a special fourth "Safety Override" mode that allows you to fire the calldown with ammo and no cooldown, it is extremely dangerous and should be used with extreme caution. This mode is not intended to be balanced.
Fully compatible with CROSS_Crits, enemies that take a direct hit from the orbital strike will always burn down to a skeleton.
