The Omniblaster is an advanced energy pistol manufactured by GrummelNet Industries in Into the Nexus. It features an orange and white paint job, a black handle, and a blue canister underneath that holds the ammunition used for its high-velocity proton blasts.[1]
It is available immediately at the start of the game on the Nebulox Seven. Upon reaching V3, the weapon is upgraded to the Dual Omniblasters. In challenge mode, the Omega Dual Omniblasters can be purchased for 40,000 bolts and one gold bolt.
Combat[]
Beginning with a moderate rate of fire and damage (both improving with use), the Omniblaster functions as a versatile, all-purpose medium-range pistol. It is effective against weak enemies and small groups of Thugs-4-Less, and is particularly suited for taking down jetpack-equipped thug shooters early in the game. Upgrading to the Dual Omniblasters doubles its overall effectiveness, but the weapon maintains its role as a single-target, medium-range tool.
Raritanium upgrades can improve its ammo capacity, rate of fire, range, and the amount of bolts earned. The weapon's notable mystery upgrades are Ammo Drop, which increases ammunition earned from ammo crates, and Kinetic Pulse, which grants shots a minor knockback effect. The upgrades focused on enhancing ammunition capacity and rate of fire are key to maximizing the Omniblaster's overall strength.
