Scorpion

The Scorpion looks just like a one-seater convertible with a roll cage on it.

Primary Fire

Like many of UT2004's vehicles, the Scorpion has two modes of attack. With the primary fire, the player can fire a green energy bola. The energy bola continues floating straight through the air until it comes into contact with a person, vehicle, object, or terrain, after which it will stick to it. Seconds later, the bola disappears, along with part of the enemy's health. The longer the fire button is held down, the larger the energy bola becomes and the more damage it deals. Because the time in-between weapon shots is short, it can sometimes be advantageous to fire off multiple small energy bolas rather than one large one.

Alternate Fire

The alternate fire allows the driver to deploy a pair of blades on the sides of the vehicle. One slice into a person means instant death. If a blade collides with objects or terrain, it will snap off. Therefore, the driver must be careful while driving with the blades open, or he will eventually end up with no blades on the actuator arms.

Notes

• Energy bolas are attracted to Mantas. Even the smallest string of bolas will destroy a Manta if it hits directly.
• The Scorpion's alternate horn is the melody from the first line of the song "Dixie", also known as "The Dixie Horn".
