Pinger

pinger is a ranged item in item asylum. It is a keyboard held with two arms.
== Functionality ==
Using pinger causes the user to slam their left arm into the keyboard, creating a red projectile with Discord notification particles that moves towards point of aim at roughly 100 studs per second. The projectile deals 30 damage and plays the Discord notification sound upon dealing damage. pinger has a cooldown of 0.5 seconds between shots.
===Synergy===
If the user has fish or killer fish from san diego in their inventory, the particle effect on pinger's projectile becomes a fish emoji (🐟), the effect upon hitting a solid surface becomes blue, and the ping sound effect is removed. This synergy is purely cosmetic.
== Tips ==
*Due to the semi-slow speed of the ping projectiles, it is best used at medium to close range.
*pinger has a little over half second delay between when the item is used and when its projectile is actually spawned, which can make it feel awkward to use for players unfamiliar with the item.
