Redeemer

The Redeemer is a super weapon that has been around since Unreal Tournament. The gun causes a massive nuclear explosion that obliterates anything within its damage radius. Distance from said explosion is strongly advised.

Primary Fire

Fires a huge yet slow moving missile that, upon striking a solid surface, will explode and send out a gigantic shock wave, instantly pulverizing anyone and anything within its colossal radius, including yourself.

Secondary Fire

Take control of the missile and fly it anywhere. You can press the primary fire button to explode the missile early.

Techniques

Remember that while this rocket is being piloted you are a sitting duck. If an opponent manages to hit your incoming Redeemer missile while it's in the air, the missile will explode harmlessly.

Allows you to take control of the Redeemer missile and guide it to it's destination. Unfortunately, you are unable to control your character or see anything around your character from this view so make sure you hide well.

Game Description

The first time you witness this miniature nuclear device in action, you’ll agree it is the most powerful weapon in the Tournament. Launch a slowmoving but utterly devastating missile with the primary fire; but make sure you’re out of the Redeemer’s impressive blast radius before it impacts. The secondary fire allows you to guide the nuke yourself with a rocket’s-eye view. Keep in mind, however, that you are vulnerable to attack when steering the Redeemer’s projectile. Due to the extreme bulkiness of its ammo, the Redeemer is exhausted after a single shot.

Game Description

'Even your least effective soldiers will earn a respectable bodycount with this tactical nuclear device.' So said the original brochure for the Redeemer, still unchallenged in its role as the most powerful man-portable weapon system known through the galaxy. The slow-moving but utterly devastating missile, affectionately known as "Lola" by veteran soldiers, now uses an Enhanced Radiation payload. This ensures maximum tissue failure without undue property damage, perfect for modern assault-and-capture tactics. The Redeemer's alternate mode fires the missile using the disposable fly-by-wire guidance system, though the manual recommends using this mode only in areas of relative safety.
