The Instagib is a weapon-mutator, that makes all players on the server spawn with the instagib. The instagib has been in all the Unreal games, though it has had different appearances.

Information

The instagib (in the Unreal franchise) is showen as an enhanced shock rifle or ASMD, with a red tint, instead of the blue/purple theme. It can kill any enemy in one shot, and results in a big mess, of splattered gibs and blood, that will fly all over the place, with the hit player's camera flying around aswell. The shot from an instagib is the shockrifle's beam, in a red version, that once it hits, makes an explosion. The explosion effect was removed in Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004. It is not possible to launch a shock ball and thus make a shock combo. The ALT-FIRE will simply release a killing beam, just like the FIRE function. Using of ALT-FIRE, however, is the only way to destroy a target in Assault (in the original Unreal Tournament). The FIRE doesn't work in this case.

The instagib has normally got infinite shots, and can not be dropped. The only weapon, that can come with the instagib, is the translocator.

Usage

The instagib is typically used in Deathmatch, Team-Deathmatch, Domination, Double-Domination, Capture The Flag and Last man standing. It is sometimes also used in Invasion and Mutant, though that is rare, since it defeats the challenge in stronger monsters, and the mutant's extra abilities. It is not possible to use the instagib in Assault, Onslaught, Warfare or Vehicle Capture The Flag, through normal means, though it is possible to get the mutator working in said gametypes, by downloading a modified version of the mutator.

The instagib is just like the shockrifle/ASMD, except for the inability of making shockcombos. It does shoot a bit slower aswell.
