Red Text
I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds!
A Ripper shotgun that just keeps firing: when it overheats, the magazine does not break. Normal Ripper weapons pause when they overheat, but this gun keeps up its rapid fire in Rage mode, at the price of burning through more ammo. It wins by sheer volume of fire.
🧩 Where the red text comes from “I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds!” is a line spoken by Dennis in the US TV show It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Season 10, Episode 7, “The Gang Misses the Boat” (per Mobalytics and others). It is an angry monologue about being set free with no limit to his rage, and it echoes the unique ability name Rage directly.
What kind of shotgun is it? (for beginners)
- A Ripper shotgun. Ripper weapons charge up and then fire full-auto, and normally the Bulletforge (magazine) overheats and pauses if you keep firing
- This gun’s unique ability, “Rage”, means it does not break when it overheats. You keep firing, but ammo use keeps climbing
- It trades ammo efficiency for a fire rate that never stops. If you can keep your ammo supplied, your damage never lets up
Unique effect (mechanics)
Rage: When it overheats, the Bulletforge (magazine) does not break. Instead, ammo use keeps increasing while you keep firing.
- In game: Rage — When Overheating, the Bulletforge does not break, but instead continually consumes greater amounts of Ammo.
- Web (Lootlemon): Rage - When Overheating, the Bulletforge does no break, but instead continually consumes greater amounts of Ammo
- It reportedly has an unlimited-capacity CoV-license magazine plus Ripper’s standard charge mechanism (MentalMars) (unverified)
- Weakness: it eats ammo fast. Firing on in the overheated state drains your ammo quickly, so you need ammo regeneration or a big ammo reserve
