Description

Mourning Star is a gun . Targeting an enemy with the tracking beam for a short time will call down a large, high-damage orbital strike at their location. The beam persists while the trigger is held, and it will slowly move in the direction of the player's crosshair. The beam leaves a trail of fire wherever it hits.

Notes

  • Inactive mimics will not be activated by the tracking beam, and cannot be targeted for a strike.
  • The tracking beam will destroy destructibles, such as the Beholster's homing rockets.
  • The impact damage of the beam is unaffected by passive items.
  • Only the head of the Ammoconda can be targeted to call down a strike.
  • If the player has a shot-multiplying item like [Helix BulletsHelix Bullets] or [ScattershotScattershot] , it is possible to call down multiple strikes simultaneously; a strike occurs for every tracking beam that is in contact with an enemy during the targeting period. This is also possible with [Bouncy BulletsBouncy Bullets] , provided that the rebound of the tracking beam also comes in contact with an enemy.

Trivia

  • This gun's appearance and effect are based on the Hammer of Dawn from Gears of War videogame series . The synergy with the weapon and [Cog Of BattleCog Of Battle] is a reference to the same video game series.
  • This gun's name is possibly based off of the medieval weapon known as a morning star, which is a club with a spiked sphere on the end.
  • This gun's name is likely a reference to the Pierce Brown novel Morning Star in which orbital beam weapons are used throughout. Satellite Rain is also likely referring to an Iron Rain .
