Hello, agents!
Today we are going to talk about the Sting - your trusty pistol and the best friend in the desolate desert of Damag.
Lore
So first of all, what is the Sting?
The Sting is your very own weapon that you cannot lose under any circumstances. It will be with you from start to finish. Furthermore, you will have unlimited ammo, so you don't have to worry about being unarmed in a sticky situation.
So where do you get such a marvelous weapon? Well, let's take a look at this lore excerpt:
"...The standard issue UCE gun that is meant for operatives sent to distant colony planets. Unlike the conventional weapons, Sting is not dependent on ammo. This model utilizes amplinium batteries and is effective on the long run..."
There is more to it, of course, but you will have to play the game to find out.
Upgrades
Throughout the game you will find upgrades for the Sting. You will hear a loud beeping signal, the light on your weapon will start to flash and all you need to do is to touch the upgrade box with the Sting.
So what kind of upgrades can you expect? Well, I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I'm gonna share this gif with you and let you guess :B1:
Special Effects
A lot of things changed during the development of The Burst, and The Sting is no exception. One of the most obvious changes is the tracer effect. Let's take a look!
First iteration. A faint orange beam. It's still in the demo!
Second iteration. A thick, but still pale blue beam.
Our latest version. A thick, red and blue beam.
Will it change again? Hard to say, but anything is possible!
That will be all for today. Tell us which version do you like most in the comments.
Don't forget to add The Burst to your wishlists and join us on Twitter and Discord for more information about the game!
Thank you and see you around! :B1:
