The Light Digger is, as its name suggests, is the lightest of the Diggers. It somewhat resembles a handgun or pistol with a slightly extended barrel. It can dig through dirt, inner walls and flesh at an average rate, similar to a DustBuster. You can hold the Light Digger and your Jet power is relatively unaffected. Some enemies spawn with the light digger.

The Medium Digger is the average tool. It can dig through most materials, yet is not too heavy. It looks more like a submachine gun than a digger, but don't be fooled, the Medium Digger can pack a punch in its short range. Some enemies, especially dummies, spawn with the Medium Digger.

The Heavy Digger is the biggest of the Diggers. Being the most powerful digger, it can dig through anything you throw at it, including enemies flung at high speeds and the Impenetrable Bunker wall. Although it is heavy, it is worth every ounce. Some enemies spawn with the Heavy Digger, but rarely.

The Heavy Digger is so powerful that lighter actors will be unable to move or jetpack in the direction they are digging in. A bonus for these light actors, however, is that the Heavy Digger can act as a parachute when falling.

The pulse digger isn't your standard digger, it digs in bursts like the shovel and has a small energy capacity. Although this digger can eat up dirt very fast, it can't get past concrete or metal, so it probably wouldn't be the best choice for an infiltration mission. It can also be used to pull a light actor forward or through the air.
+
* Description: "Coalition's pulse digger. Digs in wide pulses unlike traditional diggers." <br>

Meant for melee and mining, the Pulse Digger can be used with a shield but can't cut through stone, concrete, and especially not metal-- just enemies and dirt.

However, it does make a strong, long lasting, hand-held jetpack!

The Repeller Gun does just like what the name suggests; it repels things. This handy little tool can be used to push back thrown grenades or to launch an enemy into the air. Be careful though, if you aim downwards while shooting it you will be lifted into the air and you can then steer by aiming it in the proper direction. Since the energy capacity is so large on it, this can be a very efficient way of getting around.

Tools are a group for trigger operated devices that don't fire ranged projectiles. Mining, construction, scanning-- basically, if it isn't a gun or a bomb (or a shield), it's a Tool.

It should be noted that Diggers are designed for mining, some bunker breaching, but are frequently repurposed for melee-range combat. Some Tools play more esoteric villains, but most lead peaceful lives of exploration, utility, and mild accessory to murder.

Diggers are just as effective as weapons.


Contents

Diggers

Each digger has a respective weight: the Light, Medium, and Heavy digger. The heavier the digger, the more powerful it is.

Light Digger

Light Digger--4X.png

  • Tech: Free Trade
  • Gold Value: 10
  • Mass: 5
    • Magazine: 5
  • 1-Handed: Yes
  • Damage: Medium-High
  • Description: "Lightest in the digger family. Cheapest of them all and works as a nice melee weapon on soft targets."

The Light Digger is, as its name suggests, is the lightest of the Diggers. It somewhat resembles a handgun or pistol with a slightly extended barrel. It can dig through dirt, inner walls and flesh at an average rate, similar to a DustBuster. You can hold the Light Digger and your Jet power is relatively unaffected. Some enemies spawn with the light digger.

Medium Digger

Medium Digger--4X.png

  • Tech: Free Trade
  • Gold Value: 40
  • Mass: 8
    • Magazine: 5
  • 1-Handed: No
  • Damage: High
  • Description: "Stronger digger. This one can pierce rocks with some effort and dig impressive tunnels and its melee weapon capabilities are much greater."

Concrete steadily falls to a Medium Digger, but metal takes time to eat through. Enemies, however, die almost instantly.

Heavy Digger

Heavy Digger--4X.png

  • Tech: Free Trade
  • Gold Value: 100
  • Mass: 10
    • Magazine: 5
  • 1-Handed: No
  • Damage: Very High
  • Description: "Heaviest and the most powerful of them all. Eats concrete with great hunger and allows you to make complex mining caves incredibly fast. Shreds anyone unfortunate who stand in its way."

The Heavy Digger is so powerful that lighter actors will be unable to move or jetpack in the direction they are digging in. A bonus for these light actors, however, is that the Heavy Digger can act as a parachute when falling.

Turbo Digger

Turbo Digger--4X.png

  • Tech: Dummy
  • Gold Value: 80
  • Mass: 9
    • Magazine: 5
  • 1-Handed: No
  • Damage: Very High
  • Description: "Dummy mining tool. Works as a powerful close range weapon too."

The Turbo Digger is nearly as powerful as the Heavy Digger but exhausts its magazine quickly.

Pulse Digger

Pulse Digger--4X.png

  • Tech: Coalition
  • Gold Value: 80
  • Mass: 6
    • Magazine: 5
  • 1-Handed: Yes
  • Damage: Medium-High
  • Description: "Coalition's pulse digger. Digs in wide pulses unlike traditional diggers."

Meant for melee and mining, the Pulse Digger can be used with a shield but can't cut through stone, concrete, and especially not metal-- just enemies and dirt.

Chainsaw

  • Tech: Ronin
  • Gold Value: 15
  • Mass: 8

  • 1-Handed: No
  • Damage: Medium
  • Description: "Normally intended for cutting lumber, this tool has been repurposed to be used on light metal, flesh, and whatever else that needs to be violently dismantled."

Not the most effective digger, it can cut through even metal but has a short running time and considerable reload. It will take a long time to get anywhere, but you won't have paid much to get there.

Shovel

  • Mass: 5
    • Magazine: 0.001
  • 1-Handed: No
  • Damage: Very Low
  • Description: "Ronin's resource collection and bashing device #1."

Despite the hype, the Shovel is worth the price. It can dig through concrete, and provides a wide digging sweep, and has infinite ammo. But it digs very slowly, one pulse at a time.


Sprayers

Sprayers spray out a stream of a certain material, they are considered the opposite of diggers.

Concrete Sprayer

  • Mass: 8
    • Magazine: 10
  • 1-Handed: No
  • Description: "With this tool, you can create small bridges and walls, fill gaps and create concrete statues with ease! The sticky concrete gun can do it all!"

Concrete will not stick to or bury enemy Actors and yet concrete spraying will draw enemy fire. Unfortunately it tends to build ramps pointed away from you more than bridges or walls, and not always fast. It's best used for patching your bunker and sealing in your brain case.

Repeller Gun

  • Description: "Push and repel grenades, light infantry and other light objects with ease!"

Repeller blasts interestingly pass through barriers, proving a rare ability to strike with no exposure, but they inflict no harm. They can push around light infantry, but opponents recover before you can switch to a weapon, and it's unlikely you can ready a Repeller Gun before a thrown grenade reaches you. However, it does make a strong, long lasting, hand-held jetpack!


Remote Explosives

There are no longer multiple colors of C4; they are automatically identified with the team that set them. There are also disarmers for any remote explosive or mine, effective within a limited radius.

Detonator

  • Description: "Detonates all Remote Explosives that have been placed by your team."

Works instantaneously, and can be used with a shield. You might want to; your own Remote Explosives don't obey the "no friendly-fire" rule and will destroy anything they can.

  • Description: "Disarms all mines and remote explosives within a 5 meter range. Targets in range will blink green. Complete operation requires the user to hold down the trigger for 4 seconds."


Scanners

Cut through the fog-of-war in a wide angle and limited distance wherever you point the scanner. Works similar to an ultrasound wand, except for finding impregnable fortresses.
