The Gatling Spear Gun is a Projectile Weapon in Ninja Gaiden II.
In-Game Description[]
A Gatling-type spear gun designed for underwater combat, it is practically useless on dry land.
A prime example of an OOPArt ( "out-of-place artifact"), the Gatling Spear Gun was made in 10th-century Europe. It is fired by turning the handle, which engages a high-pressure water pump that forces projectiles out of its barrels.
At first glance, one would expect the spears to be subject to extreme amounts of drag, but in fact they are able to "fly" through the water due to a phenomenon called supercavitation. The spears are loaded with explosive material and burst after hitting their target, shredding it from the inside out.
Acquisition[]
- Chapter 5: The Aqua Capital
In the chest inside the fountain past the first horde of Gaja.
Overview[]
- A revised iteration of the Spear Gun from Ninja Gaiden, it has infinite ammo and cannot be upgraded, while only being usable underwater.
- Ideal for taking out Gaja, Blood Eels and Explosive Jellyfish.
- Due to its rapid fire rate, shooting Blood Eels at water's edge is a great way to achieve a 100 hit-combo, especially since enemies will still be hit mid-way through their death animation.
Trivia[]
- It is the only weapon removed from Sigma 2 that has no data left in-game, unlike the Windmill Shuriken and Incendiary Shuriken, that can still be used by modifying savedata.
- The Gatling Spear gun, while only usable underwater, can still be fired at enemies on dry land: with it's infinite ammo, in certain areas that combine a water environment and a land based combat area, it can be used to attack enemies with impunity.
