Caotel Sr2.2 (FAN)

Weapons

Nothing but ruins and ash-choked skies remained in the world where this exotic weapon was manufactured, and the Exodii, ever pragmatic, choose not to explore beyond what was necessary to perform a second, emergency escape. Even a second of exposure to the Caotel's plasma fan is enough to flash-incinerate anything, but its state of disrepair limits the amount of time its destructive power can be sustained.

Caotel Sr2.2 (Projectile)

Weapons

Nothing but ruins and ash-choked skies remained in the world where this exotic weapon was manufactured, and the Exodii, ever pragmatic, choose not to explore beyond what was necessary to perform a second, emergency escape. A single discharge from the Caotel easily melts through conventional armor and flash-incinerates anything behind it, but its state of disrepair limits the number of shots it can fire in quick succession.

Weapons

carroballista

Weapons

A smaller, mounted version of the Greco-Roman ballista, for those situations where the crossbow just isn't enough. Unlike crossbows, it is powered by a torsion spring that is wound by a hand crank and uses two prods instead of one bow. Its size and design make it unfeasible to be used by hand, requiring it to be set down or mounted to a vehicle.
