Rad Gun is a gun that grants 2 coolness.
When reloading the gun, a mark appears on the reload bar, similar to the Cog of Battle. Pressing reload or firing at the right time will increase the gun's damage. Each successful reload will also make the reload time shorter, making another successful reload harder to pull off. As the gun's damage increases, the projectiles become larger and turn into faces wearing sunglasses after four successful reloads. Missing a reload will reset the bonuses.
The damage dealt by the gun approximately doubles for the first four reloads. Past that, the damage continues to grow infinitely, but at a slower rate. Like all guns, the Rad Gun will automatically reload if it is switched away from. However, it will receive a significant damage penalty. The damage for the first eight reloads are as follows:
| Reloads | Damage (Active Reload) |
Damage (Passive Reload) |
Projectile Appearance |
|---|---|---|---|
| None | 4 | 4 |  |
| 1 | 8.64 | 6 |  |
| 2 | 15.552 | 9 |  |
| 3 | 31.104 | 15 |  |
| 4 | 62.208 | 25 |  |
| 5 | 74.650 | 25 | |
| 6 | 89.579 | 25 | |
| 7 | 107.496 | 25 | |
| 8 | 128.995 | 25 |
Successfully completing the active reload also makes "NOICE", "COOL", or "RAD" appear above the player's head. Failure results in the word "WACK" instead.
Notes
If the player has Sunglasses, Rad Gun's reload time is decreased by 25%.- If the player has Cog of Battle, its active reload stacks with Rad Gun's.
- Rapidly firing the Rad Gun causes the magazine to appear to unload more quickly than the bullets are actually fired.
Trivia
- The description is a reference to the "Are you a bad enough dude?" meme, otherwise known as the intro to the game Bad Dudes, an NES port of the Japanese arcade game DragonNinja.
- The gun's "Rad" theme and the skateboard the gun lays on are references to the youth culture of the 80's.
