Ploughman

The Ploughman is a Heavy Artillery launcher which fires multiple canisters of corrosive Tubarão gas in lieu of standard explosive projectiles. 
== Acquisitions Entry ==
An egghead once told me what was in these canisters, but what I learned is that scientists like to get creative when naming their implements of destruction. What I can say is the mixture for each pod includes something called 'Tubarão.' Real nasty stuff. Apparently it reacts violently with the byproducts of strong acids, which are packed into each pod by the dozen. The end result causes eruptions of highly corrosive gas that’ll dissolving anything solid in short order. Effective, but a terrible waste of potentially good salvage.The poor guy seemed so proud of what he made. War crimes are all good fun, until they make you inhale.-MB
== Notes & Strategy ==
The Chuffer's bigger brother. Area denial and indiscriminate damage over time, but on a larger scale since more canisters are fired with each burst.
More Tubarão in the air means quicker destruction of enemies and everything else it touches, including salvageable ammunition. Shield pick-ups remain unaffected though.
== Trivia ==
* Tubarão is shark in Portuguese.
* Marvin Beck tells of the "egghead" he spoke with, who "seemed so proud of what he made"; Efigénia Tseng's entry on the Chuffer tells of a scientist murdered with Tubarão by militants. It's probable that both refer to the same man.
