The Thunderbolt is a Special weapon introduced in the 17.8.0 update.

Description[]

It is a bolt of lightning in the form of a sword. Despite its appearance, it acts like a gun, and can fire lightning bolts that will slow down and block an enemy's gadgets.

Appearance[]

It features a golden/white body with a black pistol grip, a yellow trigger, a white magazine at the back acting as the pommel of a sword. At the front, there is a blue lightning bolt.

Performance[]

This weapon shoots out particles similar to the Electromagnetic Cannon, fast-moving particles at first but slow down while hitting other enemies. Additionally, this weapon has the SlowsDownTarget ability, meaning that whenever the weapon hits the enemy the enemy is slowed. Whenever the rockets hit the enemy or a wall, there is a visual effect of a thunderbolt striking from the sky. In addition, it is normally a two to three shot kill.

When reloading, the player takes out the clip in the back, lets it get struck by a thunderbolt, then puts it back in.

It has Fixed Delay. This means that once the player switches from any weapon to this weapon, the Thunderbolt will always have a pull-up delay lasting around half of a second.
