The RYNO IV (or Rip Ya A New One Four) is weapon in Tools of Destruction. Manufactured by Gadgetron, it is the fourth iteration of the RYNO series, and is the most powerful weapon in the game, rapidly firing dark matter lasers at enemies and dealing large amounts of damage in a long range.
The RYNO IV is not purchased, but is instead acquired once all thirteen holo-plan pieces are obtained and delivered to the Smuggler. With use, it can be upgraded to the RYNO IV Extreme, and in challenge mode, the Omega RYNO 4-Ever upgrade can be purchased for 50,000,000 bolts. It is the only Omega weapon upgrade in the game that changes its ammo capacity.
History[]
The RYNO IV was discontinued by Gadgetron for being too dangerous, and banned in eight galaxies.[1] Due to the weapons severe danger and illegality, its schematics were destroyed and its designers locked up in a maximum security asylum on planet Pokitaru.[2]
When Ratchet found a holo-plan for the weapon, the Smuggler, intrigued by it, promised to build the weapon for free if Ratchet brought him the full plan and let the Smuggler keep the plan. After doing so, the Smuggler kept his word and built the weapon.[1]
Characteristics[]
The RYNO IV is a small green and dark green carbine. It appears to feature a jaw below its orange nozzle. When it fires, it first requires half a second to wind up up, before unloading a rapid-fire burst of bright red lasers which spout off in many directions in front of the weapon, targeting any enemies automatically. The RYNO IV Extreme retains its appearance and adds no new functionalities.
The RYNO IV uses an omni-directional transmogrification conductor to manipulate dark matter. It is modified with a chromodynamic amplifier to atomize anything it touches.[1]
Combat[]
The RYNO IV in action.
The RYNO IV rapidly unloads its ammunition in front of it when fired. Each laser deals heavy amounts of damage alone, allowing it to make quick work of any normal enemy, and most bosses. There is, therefore, very little strategy to the weapon, as it is universally useful in all situations and extremely powerful. However, its targeting systems do not always work while moving and lots of lasers scatter rather than connecting with enemies, meaning it should be aimed properly to conserve ammo as its ammo is expensive.
The RYNO IV can be upgraded with raritanium. Its upgrades include Faster priming, More ammo, More bolts and More damage. Players may wish to aim for unlocking Faster priming and More ammo, as these can overcome its two shortcomings (running out of ammunition, and length of time spent priming the weapon to fire). The RYNO IV Extreme, and Omega RYNO 4-Ever, are flat upgrades to the weapon and do not fundamentally change the weapon.
