Temblor

The Temblor is a Laser weapon, in the Small Weapons category.
== Acquisitions Entry ==
Technically this thing is a tool for mining and excavation, vibrates rock and most construction materials so hard they turn to powder. Hardshields laugh it off though and most metals will just make funny sounds, so the Temblor wasn't adapted for military use until the NEP needed something special for "dynamic urban restructuring", aka mouseholing. When the food riots hit their peak you'd see mog teams bursting out the sides of buildings, clad with Temblors and hydraulic claws for dealing with rebar. The powdered concrete would cling to the mogs and give them a sickly white look, hence the "Guriçá" nickname. Had people living in those dense habitation blocks real spooked, especially since more than one Guriçá team caused a building to collapse.Around that time Central also discovered the Temblor does the same thing to bones and teeth as it does to concrete. Officially they don't do that anymore, though I've seen enough people with the hallmark disfigurements that I'm guessing it can't all be blamed on the Nobrean mafia.-MB
== Notes & Strategy ==
* Less a weapon than a tool for demolition and maneuverability. A Brigador intent on hunting Orbital Guns may use it to mouse-hole their way (in an urban AO, mind you) through structures and walls towards the objectives and back again to the exit.
* Poor damage against shields and hull. Don't trust it in a firefight.
* A Brigador in a fast and agile Arlo, Hoker or Ropekid, equipped with an Active Camo, can blast through districts in record times. Speed is key: aim for the Guns, predict and avoid the flow of reinforcements, and reach the exit in one piece. 
* While you're at it, destroy ammo depots as well for good profit.
== Trivia ==
* Guriçá is one of the names for the ghost crabs of the Ocypode genus on northeastern beaches of Brazil. Also known as Maria-Farinha (Mary-Flour).Category:Weapons
