Visibomb Gun

The Visibomb Gun is a teleguided missile-launcher that has the ability to see through the rocket's eye and allows you to control it. The weapon is generally used to pick off enemies at a distance, and although you have to guide the missile yourself, you do not need to have a large amount of skill to use it successfully. Some players who cannot handle close combat, can fly this throughout the level, and pick off almost very single enemy without actually advancing throughout the level, this means they can stroll through with no trouble, but the player would have a very low Bolt count, as it costs 100 bolts for one Visibomb shot. If the Visibomb hits an enemy, and it is not destroyed by the blast straight away, the enemies built in logic will start up. The code encrypted into the game will make the enemy fire toward the player, even if there are obstacles in the way. This is not normally a problem, although if there are no obstacles, the blasts will hit the player, often caught unaware as he is navigating the visibomb. If the player guides the visibomb too near the edge of the map, the screen will have a fuzzed, 'low signal' effect, and eventually, you will lose control of the visibomb. Also, approximately 50 seconds after launch, the Visibomb will run out of fuel and the signal will disappear suddenly, with no fuzzed effect.
