Combuster

The Combuster (known as the Combustor in the European versions of Tools of Destruction and Quest for Booty) was a weapon that, once fired, launched a high-velocity fireball of superheated plasma that travelled towards foes. It could be upgraded to bounce across the ground, each time momentarily setting the area that it bounced off of, ablaze with Pyrocidic Precipitator. Its maximum ammo capacity remained at 100 even if it was upgraded to V5.

The Combuster's firing rate was medium, and was used better from far away. Its firing mechanism was that of a decent and normal gun, much like the N60 Storm in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal. Its range, ammo capacity and damage could also be upgraded at various weapon vendors with the required amount of Raritanium. This was also one of the trademark weapons - one of the two weapons that you started off with. It upgraded to the Magma Combuster which gave the yielder control over two more barrels of superheated fireball. Unfortunately, the Combustor was quick to become obsolete in power and was useless around the time Ratchet reached the planet of Ardolis.
