CS-BNG
|
The CS-BNG is a heavy energy weapon that fires powerful, high damage explosive projectiles at a slow rate. It is one of the most powerful weapons in Plazma Burst 2.
Characteristics
- Fires a devastating, green energy projectile that explodes on impact.
- Projectile creates an additional area-of-effect as it travels, after a period of time (varying based on the games speed). Dealing damage over-time once active.
- Both the damage over-time, and explosion can deal heavy damage to allies.
- Projectile speed is not affected by water.
- Enemies will not attempt to dodge energy projectiles.
- Explosive damage scaling with power differs from rocket and grenade weapons.
- Projectile creates an additional area-of-effect as it travels, after a period of time (varying based on the games speed). Dealing damage over-time once active.
- One of the slowest fire rate of all weapons, behind Drone Gun CS-Virus and others(?)
Campaign location
The CS-BNG can be purchased in the Equipment Shop for $4000 credits, and upgraded for $1100 credits. The full upgrade price of the CS-BNG is $7300 credits, making it the second most expensive gun in the game.
It can also be picked up by enemies later, toward the end of the game in Level 28. The first CS-BNG that can be picked up is carried by a Civil Security Heavy.
These are carried by Usurpation Destroyers, and Civil Security soldiers. Oddly enough, the only level the Usurpation Destroyers carry these is Level 17.
In certain levels, the Advanced Usurpation Soldiers and Major Usurpation Soldiers will use the CS-BNG.
It can be also found in Level 37 in a hidden crate, near the end of the level. Although the Marine can pick it up or buy it,
Proxy can't buy it or pick it up from an enemy. However, in level 37, Proxy or one of the Androids can pick up a BNG in a hidden crate. It cannot be upgraded though. The only way to allow Proxy to have a fully upgraded BNG is to give her yours, and then buy it again and repeat the process.Trivia
- The CS-BNG ID in the Level Editor is: gun_bfg, which is a reference to the gun named the BFG in the DOOM series.
- The CS-BNG's radiation deals more damage while the Time Warp is in effect.
- Only powerful enemies wield its unnatural force, like Civil Security Bosses. The CS-BNG is the one of the Usurpation Destroyer's signature weapon.
- It is possible to outrun a shot from this gun (Use PSI Blades to help you run faster).
- The explosive seems to generate more energy as it travel. It usually makes visual effects of an earthquake. Also, the pellet looks much like a Hound Walkers' cannon.
- Due to its low projectile speed, the CS-BNG has less range than other weapons. The same goes for the same range as the Plasmagun CS-Bloom.
- On Impossible difficulty and placed on upgrade level 2, it will be replaced by a Shield Grenade. This can be seen in Level 28, where a Civil Security Heavy drops a shield grenade and then can be found without any weapons, not even swords.
- The slower the game, the longer the time it takes for the brush damage to kick in, as seen with debug mode (e.g. with Time Warp and the "very slow" cheat vs regular speed).
- The earthquake effect will intensify depending on the amount of pellets in flight.
