The Soldier

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

This weapon fires an unreflectable projectile that delivers reduced damage against buildings, but is capable of piercing multiple targets. It does not feature the traditional ammo reserve used by other weapons. Additionally, it can be used to light Huntsman arrows held by an enemy Sniper.

Enemies killed by the Righteous Bison suffer a unique death; they will turn black and hover in mid-air while team-colored fire particles surround them and disintegrate their body.
