Instagib

The Instagib is a weapon-mutator, that makes all players on the server spawn with it. 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 shockrifle 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 of 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 shockball and thus make a shockcombo. The ALT-FIRE will simply release a killing beam, just like the FIRE function.

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 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.

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