DN Accelerator

Produced by The Singularity

Attempts to reverse-engineer these Singularity-manufactured guns have yielded nothing but frustration.  True to its creators’ namesake, this gun fires actual unstable tiny singularities that somehow manage to travel through space, gathering dust and debris, until they collapse in on themselves in a powerful explosion.

 

Special Ability: A mysterious engine that causes your ship to teleport a short distance, allowing it to bypass small obstacles.

 

Strengths:

  • The DN Accelerator can be used to more adequately evade projectiles and incoming fire
  • The teleport can give increased mobility, allowing the Pilot to take shortcuts through the terrain by teleporting through walls or behind other Pilots

 

Weaknesses:

  • Long cooldown. The standard dash has a 3 second cooldown, while the DN Accelerator has a cooldown of 7 seconds (over twice as long!)
  • Less hitpoints than the Bulk E200 or Berserk Barrel engines

 

Tips and Tricks:

  • The DN Accelerator is a fan favorite because it allows the ship to blink around the map allowing for faster travel, surprise attacks, and other unique strategies.
  • A popular strategy involves teleporting onto the flag to quickly and easily capture it. Because the flag holder is unable to use any skills, you lessen the impact of the extended teleport cooldown.
  • The DN Accelerator has great synergy with other parts. Try combining the teleport ability with others to make interesting and creative plays!
