Happy Friday Fruity Fans
Now you know what you’ll be expected to do on the job, we’ll give you a breakdown of the absurd weapons and explosives you’ll need to master to get the job done in our third look at the juicy world of Shooty Fruity.
Whether you like to multitask with a gun in one hand and produce in the other or dual wield like a badass while your workload piles up, we have a variety of ballistics to sate your thirst for juice. Our R&D team have custom made 18 varieties for our employees and here’s a peek at what we have unveiled so far.
Pistol
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview:
This small gun packs a…well a small punch but it’s the beginner’s classic and will often be at hand when you need it most.
Advantages:
Low recoil and fast rate of fire. Good against the small and soft variety.
Disadvantages:
Useless on tough skin and large fruit.
Later Models:
More rounds and double the damage.
Quick Stats:
- Magazine Size: 12
- Armour Piercing: None
- Rate of Fire: Medium
- Recoil: High
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Revolver
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview:
Every wannabe Cowboy’s weapon of choice.
Advantages:
Higher damage to dispatch smaller enemies with ease and can penetrate the skin of tougher fruit.
Disadvantages:
A slow rate of fire so you can’t go shooting around willy nilly.
Later Models:
Increased ammo clips and armour piercing capabilities for a more reliable and powerful weapon of choice.
Quick Stats:
- Magazine Size: 6
- Armour Piercing: Medium
- Rate of Fire: Low
- Recoil: High
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shotgun
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview:
A real pulp machine, crack open the toughest exteriors to reveal the juice within. Beware of the reload time.
Advantages:
Can efficiently dispatch slower and unreasonably large fruit.
Disadvantages:
Difficult to hit speedy fruit and smaller targets. Surprisingly little reach for a gun so large.
Later Models:
Swap speed for a smaller clip to increase the amount of damage you can do in short bursts. The Feckler 500 is a flak cannon, the Dunderbuster a semi-automatic shotgun!
Quick Stats:
- Magazine Size: 8
- Armour Piercing: Low
- Rate of Fire: Low
- Recoil: Medium
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SMG
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview:
Let loose and spray bullets like a maniac. Odds are you’ll hit something.
Advantages:
Effective for hordes of fruit. Can feel reassuring when panic sets in.
Disadvantages:
Your world will become a deafening and blinding mess so you’re unlikely to do your job well or shoot with any vague sense of accuracy.
Later Models:
Exchange clip size for piercing ammo.
Quick Stats:
- Magazine Size: 50
- Armour Piercing: None
- Rate of Fire: High
- Recoil: Medium
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assault Rifle
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview:
For the advanced employee, sharpshooting rapid fire. ‘Nuff said.
Advantages:
Efficiently pulverise any variety of fruit.
Disadvantages:
Relatively small load and a strong kickback.
Later Models:
Get increasingly more bullets per gun with more power to boot. Just wait until you see level 3…
Quick Stats:
- Magazine Size: 30
- Armour Piercing: Medium
- Rate of Fire: High
- Recoil: Medium
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explosives
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview:
Who doesn’t like to blow stuff up? Be a cool guy/gal and pull the pin with your teeth.
Advantages:
Keeping multiple enemies at bay and creates a colourful shower of pulpy juices.
Disadvantages:
Unlikely to hit flying fruit. Yes, the fruit can fly. Obviously.
Later Models:
Extend your explosive reach and time your attacks.
Quick Stats:
- Armour Piercing: Medium
- Rate of Fire: Low
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spend your well-earned juice to unlock weapons and learn what works best for each situation. You can then customise your loadout and have a more successful shift!
Power-Ups
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On occasion, you’ll receive a power-up during your shift. When the time comes to use it…you’ll know. Or you won’t, and it’ll be rendered useless. Either way, the suits at the top occasionally try to make your shift a little easier.
Here’s a peek at what you might get:
Packed with a small explosive charge that triggers on impact and damages nearby objects and enemies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each bullet multiplies for additional fruit murder.
Instructions:
Place the Power-Up in the slot in front of you to activate it. All power-ups are active for 10 seconds.
