Combining breathtaking visual displays with seamless gameplay, TRIBES will revolutionize the world of multiplayer squad-level games. [. . . ] The more energy discharged with the shot, the more damage is dealt to the target. A complex and delicate weapon, it can be used only by a tribesman in Peltast light armor. Electron Flux Gun The Electronic Flux Gun, or ELF is a short-range energy-based weapon. While it deals little actual damage, it rapidly drains a target's energy supply, making energy based weaponry and equipment useless. Heavy Mortar (heavy armor only) Capable of lobbing highly explosive shells over long distances, nothing else used by the tribes can match its destructive capabilities. Because of its extreme weight, only Myrmidon armor is capable of using it. This weapon is especially useful when aimed with the aid of a targeting laser. Targeting Laser Technically not a weapon, this simple rangefinder has been modified into the Delphi targeting laser. The user of this device can "paint" a target for a teammate with another weapon, such as the Heavy Mortar. Once deployed, mines will burrow into the ground and will explode when any warrior, friend or foe, comes 42 43 Packs within their detection range. The longer you hold the key, the farther from the player the mine will deploy. Grenades A thrown grenade lacks the range of a grenade fired from the launcher, but does give the user more accuracy against nearby targets. Light armor can carry up to five grenades, medium up to six, and heavy can carry eight. The longer you hold the key, the farther from the player the grenade will be thrown. Packs absorb some, if not all, damage directed toward the player. It will automatically deactivate once the power cell runs out of energy. The jammer pack will make the user and any other players within 20 meters undetectable to enemy pulse sensors. Repair A battlefield repair kit, this pack comes with what is colloquially referred to as the "repair gun. " Using exotic nanotechnology, it can repair armor, vehicles, and base emplacements such as turrets and generators. Aim the repair gun at a damaged teammate or equipment and "fire" it. The gun has a very short range; you must be within three meters of the target to repair it. If there are no targets within range, it will repair any damage you have taken. It will deactivate automatically once the power cell runs out of energy. You must be looking directly at the deploy point and be in range, or else you will get a "cannot deploy, out of range" prompt.
