The RYNO VII is a weapon in Into the Nexus. It is the seventh iteration of the illegal R.Y.N.O. series, invented and provided by the Plumber. It is obtained by collecting nine holo-plans during the mission "Give the RYNO plans to the Plumber".
Functioning similarly to the RYNO V, the weapon plays "Night on Bald Mountain", a composition by the classical composer Modest Mussorgsky, while firing.
The RYNO VII is the most powerful weapon in the game. It upgrades to the RYNO VII Xtreme at V3 with use. The Omega RYNO VII Xtreme can be purchased in challenge mode for 1,000,000 bolts and one gold bolt.
The weapon appears as a holocard in the 2016 reimagining.[1]
History[]
The RYNO VII was a project of the Plumber, making it unique among R.Y.N.O. weapons usually created by Gadgetron. The weapon was blacklisted as highly illegal, known as the "intergalactic mic drop" of any arsenal.[2] The Plumber split the weapon's plans into nine holo-plans to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.[3]
After the Nebulox Seven crashed on Thram, the Plumber was trapped in a vault within the ship's wreckage. After being freed by Ratchet and Clank, he promised to build the RYNO VII for them if they collected all the plans.[4]
Characteristics[]
The RYNO VII is a large, dark grey carbine. It features eight barrels in a circular formation, surrounding a missile launcher, highlighted by iridescent purple light strips along their length. The weapon fires bullets in rapid succession while playing a looped sequence of "Night on Bald Mountain."
Combat[]
Functioning as a high-spread minigun/missile launcher hybrid, the RYNO VII has an extremely high rate of fire and high base damage, compensating for its lack of accuracy. It starts with an initial ammo capacity of 1,000, though this depletes quickly. Due to its power and spread, it is effective against all foes, but best reserved for clearing large groups and bosses. Using the Nightmare Box can help to hold targets still.
Raritanium upgrades are available to boost the ammo capacity, damage, rate of fire, and raritanium dropped by enemies, further improving the weapon's base strengths. It has no mystery upgrades. Little strategy is required to use the RYNO VII, as its power allows it to rapidly defeat most enemies in any scenario.
