Reasonbound Mythic Rifle

Quickstart

Craft a BAL-27 — Core of Reason and some Reasonbound Mythic Rifle Magazine: . Carry the magazine in your inventory or offhand, equip the rifle in your main hand, aim, and hold your usual Use control to fire. The rifle shoots a beam along your line of sight; its ammo count appears on the action bar.

To upgrade it, craft a Mythic Upgrade Card , hold the card, and use it. Choose a rifle from your inventory in the menu. Each card is consumed and permanently upgrades that rifle.

Overview

The mod adds three rapid-fire, beam-shooting rifles, upgrade cards, ammunition, grenades, and a powerful healing elixir. Rifles fire while you hold Use and stop when you release it. They need magazine items carried in your inventory or offhand; an empty magazine refills automatically from your carried ammo when you keep firing. There is no separate reload control.

What It Adds

Each rifle hits the first damageable target in its path, and its shot stops at a block or target. Mythic Upgrade Cards add 2 damage per upgrade, up to five upgrades (10 extra damage).

How To Use

• Rifles: Hold Use while aiming to fire; release to stop. Carry ammo in your inventory or offhand and watch the action-bar counter.
• Upgrade cards: Use a card to open the upgrade menu, then select an eligible rifle in your inventory. The upgrade belongs to that individual rifle; a rifle at level five cannot be upgraded further.
• Grenades: Hold a grenade and use it to throw. The Frag Grenade rolls before exploding; the Contact Grenade detonates on impact; the Smoke Grenade settles, then releases a cloud.
• Mythic Vitality Elixir: Use it to restore your health to its maximum and gain a large Absorption shield.

Abilities And Mechanics

Each card raises a rifle’s damage by 2. Upgrades also unlock or strengthen its special effects:

• BAL-27: Level 1 slows hit targets; level 2 makes every third landed hit pulse nearby foes; level 3 adds Weakness; level 4 knocks targets back every fourth landed hit; level 5 adds a stronger pulse on every fifth landed hit.
• Static HV: Upgrades apply Weakness to targets. At level 5, every fifth landed hit also pulses nearby foes.
• ISO Hemlock: Upgrades apply Slowness to targets. At level 5, every fifth landed hit also pulses nearby foes.

At level 5, crouch while holding the BAL-27 to call a drone volley. It strikes up to three nearby mobs and gives you brief Speed and Resistance; this ability has a 30-second cooldown.

A kill with a rifle also triggers a weapon-specific bonus: BAL-27 kills grant brief Regeneration and Speed and can weaken nearby mobs; Static HV kills grant Speed and damage nearby mobs; ISO Hemlock kills grant Resistance and damage nearby mobs.

The Frag Grenade rolls for about eight seconds before exploding. The Contact Grenade deals impact damage and explodes when it hits. The Smoke Grenade releases a cloud after settling; the cloud lasts about 12 seconds. The Vitality Elixir fully restores your health and grants Absorption for about eight minutes.

Progression And Strategy

Start with the BAL-27 and ammo, then craft cards to raise its damage and unlock its effects. Upgrade the Static HV for faster fire, or the ISO Hemlock for longer reach. Carry extra ammo for extended fights, and save grenades for groups or situations where a rifle’s direct beam is not enough.
