Big Clucking Gun

The **Big Clucking Gun**, otherwise called the BCG for short, is a gun which is able to shoot egg projectiles that deal damage in a small area.

## Obtaining

* Not available as floor loot.
* Rebel Cache may contain   **Big Clucking Gun**, with two boxes of 5  Specialty Ammo each.
* Mole Crate may contain   **Big Clucking Gun**.

## Strategy

The **BCG** can be used similarly to a mortar, as it offers unique capabilities of area denial and crowd control. The egg-projectiles of the **BCG** fly in an arc and bounce off obstacles, making it possible to hit enemies hiding behind cover and around corners. The range of the projectile can be increased by the player by holding down the fire button, releasing it to fire. The player has to adjust the range and angle of the weapon for an optimal hit. The **BCG** is also able to penetrate   Armor. Due to these capabilities and its relatively slow firing speed, it is recommended to use it against groups of enemies close to each other, as an ambush weapon, checking for enemies around corners, or as an escape tool to prevent enemies from following you.

Pressing the Reload key resets the charge-up, even if the Fire button is still held.

## Egg yolk

When projectile explodes, which can happen due to hitting a target or because it travelled its full possible distance for the time player held down the fire button, it leaves an egg yolk. All Super Animals within radius of 17 SAU from the center are damaged once, where most damage is dealt on a direct hit. This damage can be reduced down to 75% on the edges of the projectile. Egg yolk disappears after 7 seconds. Super Animals within this egg yolk, which is about 13 SAU long, move with decreased speed (-25% movement penalty) unless they are using  Claw Boots.

Super Tip: Egg Yolks can damage opponents using a Hamster Ball or Emu as well as the vehicle itself (Hamster Ball pierce 1, does damage accordingly to emu).

## Trivia

* In the weeks leading up to the version 1.3 update and the Year of the Super Tiger event, tweets on the official Twitter account teased the weapon to be a grenade launcher.
	+ It wasn't until a week later that the actual gun was revealed alongside  Thomas Sledison's (failed) attempts at making a grenade launcher.
* The BCG is a reference to the BFG-9000 from the DOOM and Quake franchises by id Software.
	+ The **Retro BCG** skin is a reference to original BFG's appearance in DOOM classic, as well as a nod to the game's zombie soldier enemy in the form of the zombie chicken housed in the gun's "firing" mechanism.
* The **Piano BCG** skin has a unique firing sound exclusive to that skin, similarly to two M16 skins.
* The **Easter BCG** and **Bamboo BCG** are the only BCG skins to not have chickens in them, instead having a bunny and parrot, respectively.
