Plasma Whip

The Plasma Whip acts much like Ratchet's wrench, visually represented as a whip. It can be used to hit enemies that are near you. Each time it is used, its' range is a circle around you, hitting anything near you.You can first get this in the Nabla Forest on Florana. It upgrades to the Quantum Whip.

Quantum Whip
The Quantum Whip is the V5 version of the Plasma Whip. It is dark blue, drips plasma, and in addition to the slam attack that V4 gave it, it now sends out waves of energy with Multi-Strike attacks, giving it a longer range.

Mega weapons
The Plasma Whip can be upgraded to the Mega Quantum Whip when playing the game again in challenge mode. This Upgrade will cost 180,000 bolts (162,000 with Gadgetron discount). The Mega Quantum Whip has a power of 1400 with medium rand and 50 ammo which cost 3 bolts each. At 10,000 experience points it upgrade to the Giga Quantum Whip and at 15,000 experience points it upgrades to the Omega Quantum Whip.

Pros and cons
Pros  Cons
 * Covers lots of ground
 * Works exactly like the wrench; simple to use
 * It is by far and away the best weapon in the game when the enemies aren't using guns, which is almost never. The whip and its surprisingly non-unbalanced shockwave do a piddling 100 damage at version 4, which is lower than the max damage of almost every other weapon in the game, including the shock cannon, which does 140 ranged damage as displayed by this page.
 * Will always leave you open to ranged attack
 * Ammo will be used up faster than expected
 * Clank gets jealous if you use it outside the bedroom, but you pretty much have to, if you're a giant tool.
