Maingun

Your main gun is your primary weapon. Each upgrade adds additional effects, and is paired with one star of attack boost to produce the ultimate upgrade.

## Default Weapons

### Batarang

The Batarang gun (named for Batman's iconic weapon, with a design most closely resembling the version from Batman Beyond) fires a single projectile straight forward. It has unlimited range and does high damage with a medium fire rate. When it hits a target, it will automatically ricochet to also hit the nearest enemy for full damage. If bouncing more than once, it will not hit the same target twice3.

Upgrades:

1. Larger projectile, bounces twice.
2. Larger projectile, bounces three times.
3. Larger projectile, bounces four times.
4. Larger projectile, bounces five times.

Ultimate Upgrade: Projectile shatters into four smaller ones on impact, chasing the nearest other target, or the same target if others not available.

### Blast Shotgun

The Shotgun fires a volley of small projectiles which can pierce multiple targets within the blast range. It is the only main gun with a limited range (approximately 1/3 the screen height). At close range, it can do high damage as multiple projectiles will hit the same target.

Upgrades:

1. Longer range, extra damage.
2. Extra damage.
3. Longer range, more pellets.
4. Extra damage.

Ultimate Upgrade: Fires twice on each shot, damage no longer has drop-off.

### Heavy Machine Gun

The Machine Gun is the classic main weapon. It fires a continuous stream of small projectiles with unlimited range. It has the highest initial fire rate of any weapon. When fully upgraded, it fires nine streams of bullets (three forward and three on each side) in a narrow V formation. Larger enemies at moderate to close range will be hit by both the forward and diagonal shots at the same time, doing significant damage.

Upgrades:

1. More bullets.
2. More bullets.
3. More bullets.
4. More bullets.

Ultimate Upgrade: Changes firing mode to rapid over volleys of shots.

### Laser

The Laser fires a continuous beam with unlimited range. The continuous beam makes it easier to hit enemies, but fire rate still determines how often the beam does damage. Similar to the Batarang, the Laser can hit additional targets for full damage, but it cannot do so until you get the refraction upgrade.

Upgrades:

1. Extra damage, shot refracts once.
2. Extra damage, shot refracts twice.
3. Extra damage, shot refracts thrice.
4. Extra damage, shot refracts four times.

Ultimate Upgrade: Every five seconds, a high powered piercing shot fires in addition to the beam.

### Railgun

The Railgun fires a single focused shot straight forward. It has the lowest initial fire rate of any weapon, and is the only main gun that will never hit a target that is not directly in front of the fighter. (Other weapons fire diagonal shots or can bounce to additional targets on the side.) It makes up for it with the highest damage per shot.

Upgrades:

1. Extra damage, extra shots.
2. Extra penetration, extra shots.
3. Extra damage, extra shots.
4. Extra penetration.

Ultimate Upgrade: Changes firing mode to rapid with infinite penetration.
