Pack up the tea, boys! We are joining the Space Marines!
The Soldier

The Righteous Bison is a secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a handheld retro-future or steampunk styled ray gun.

This weapon fires an unreflectable projectile that delivers reduced damage against buildings but is capable of piercing through targets; it is possible to hit the same target repeatedly with the same shot as well as multiple targets in a direct line. It does not feature the traditional ammo reserve used by other weapons. Additionally, it can be used to light Huntsman arrows held by a friendly Sniper.

Enemies killed by the Bison suffer a unique death; they will turn black and hover in mid-air, performing a specific disintegration animation, while surrounded by team-colored particles.
