The Darkstar Fission Tether is a weapon in All 4 One, engineered by terachnoids and sold by GrummelNet Industries. It releases powerful arcs of electrical energy to rip through enemies on the battlefield.[1] Its ability to generate lethal energy chains between weapons is comparable to the Tesla Spikes.
Gameplay[]
The Darkstar Fission Tether in action.
The Darkstar Fission Tether is first available at the Rehabitation Center segment of N.E.S.T. for 15,000 bolts, with additional upgrades unlocking at the Cove segment of Octonok Cay. It is not upgraded through use, but its ammo can be upgraded for 10,000 bolts and its power for 25,000 bolts, increasing both range and damage. After purchasing the ammo and power upgrades, the elite version can be obtained for 60,000 bolts, which generates an electrical shield around the user when active, protecting them from close-quarters enemy attacks.
When fired, the weapon automatically locks onto and damages nearby targets with arcs of electricity. Using multiple Darkstar Fission Tethers together creates a lethal energy chain between them; focusing on the same enemy in an overload attack triggers a wide electrical shockwave and a damage bonus.
The weapon performs well against groups and swarms, but it does not particularly excel enough to be worth using exclusively over other options.
Behind the scenes[]
The weapon was originally named the Darkstar Fission Rifle before release.
The Elasta-Shock, a cut weapon-like object from All 4 One shown at Gamescom 2010, functioned similarly to the Darkstar Fission Tether, but required the use of the Vac-U instead.
