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.

Unreal Tournament
''Classification: Thermonuclear Device


 * 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. To avoid this, it's a good idea to make unexpected twists and turns to make it harder for your opponents to shoot it down.

Unreal Tournament 2003

 * Primary Fire
 * Launches the Redeemer in a straight line, unguided.


 * Secondary fire
 * 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.

''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.''

 * Secondary Fire
 * Allows you to guide the redeemer missile.

Unreal Championship
The Redeemer did not exist in either of the Unreal Championship games, and was instead replaced by the TAG Rifle, rather Ion Painter, in the first Unreal Championship game.

Unreal 2
The Redeemer was replaced by the Singularity cannon in Unreal and was the game's only super weapon, in botmatch maps, when picked up it will only hold 1 round instead of 667 rounds to avoid spamming with it just like how the Redeemers in UT2003 and 2004 will only hold 1 round and if you pick up another one you will still only have 1.

Trivia
In Unreal Tournament, the writing on the redeemer warhead says "Adios", where as in UT2003/4, it says "Swallow This!".
