[[Image:Zrbite l.JPG|thumb|Zrbite Launcher]]

Zrbite Launcher is an unused [[TFTD]] launcher gun discovered through [[data corruption]] and pck browsing.
It seems to be a bigger [[Thermal Shok Launcher]], but it can also just be some kind of grenade launcher as its ammo seems to be very flat balls similar to a [[Sonic Pulser]]. No more is known about this weapon.

Vibro Blade

2006-02-26T23:24:44Z

Jebu: /* Vital Statistics */

= General Information =

The Vibroblade is a melee weapon capable of dealing powerful attacks at close range. It is essentially a large drill with an ultra hard drill bit powered by a Zrbite power core.<br>
<br>
The Vibroblade is best suited for scouts or anyone seeking to move quickly and perform a succession of rapid melee attacks. While weakest of the drills, the attack of a Vibroblade is often deadly and will cripple even the strongest [[Lobsterman]] in a single attack. It is also the fastest of the drills. For more information on how this can benefit you, refer to [[Reactions]].<br>
<br>
The Vibroblade mainly fails against units with tough external armour, such as the [[Hallucinoid]]s and [[Xarquid]]s. For these aliens, the more powerful but slower [[Thermic Lance]] and [[Heavy Thermic Lance]] provide superior armour piercing abilities to puncture heavy armour.

== Vital Statistics ==

'''Vibro Blade'''
* Damage: 80 Armour Piercing
** Attack Cost: 10%
* Selling Cost: $1,500
* Build Cost: $7,000
** Zrbite: 1

== Usage notes ==

* It is worth noting that the alien AI does not know how to use any of the melee weapons. A [[Lobsterman]] carrying a drill will only attack with its claws. Aliens with drills are always given four [[Sonic Pulser]]s, so it's safe to assume that any alien carrying a drill will be a grenadier and have no ranged combat abilities.

Sonic Pistol

2006-02-26T22:01:32Z

Jebu: /* Weapon Statistics */

==General Information==

The Sonic Pistol is the first in the sonic line of weapons used by the aliens. It offers a surprising amount of power for such a tiny package. It even surpasses the [[Heavy Gauss]] in every way except its construction costs and its aimed accuracy.

The outstanding features that secures a niche for the sonic pistol in the sonic heirarchy are its speed, huge ammo clip and its ability to be operated in a single hand. None of these traits are shared by the [[Sonic Cannon]].

The Sonic Pistol is also quite a match for the [[Gauss Rifle]] for snap shot speed and accuracy, but it offers more power. Unfortunately, the only thing that lets the sonic pistol down, and pretty much the entire sonic weapon heirarchy, is its lack of automatic fire.

The sonic pistol is therefore an outstanding weapon for fast moving scouts, grenadiers or heavy weapon soldiers that require a sidearm. If worse comes to worse, the sonic pistol can also be used as you primary weapon. However, it tends to quickly become an exotic weapon as the aliens will quickly move on to the [[Sonic Cannon]]s as their standard issue weapons.

It is curious to note that the [[Sonic Blasta Rifle]] and the [[Sonic Cannon]] are simply made up of the sonic pistol with different attachments.

==Comparison to UFO Mirror: [[Plasma Pistol]]==
To compare the Sonic Pistol and the Plasma Pistol is like comparing apples and oranges. The sonic pistol greatly surpasses the [[Plasma Pistol]] in every way except that it lacks and auto fire mode, which admittingly evens things up again.

The sonic pistol is more comparable to the [[Plasma Rifle]] in terms of power, but lacks its accuracy.

* Sonic pistol surpasses Heavy Gauss in terms of everything except cost and aimed accuracy. Amazing how much power it has for a mere pistol!
* Comparison: At 80 damage, is comparable to Plasma Rifle from original
* Comparison with UFO counterpart: Blows Plasma Pistol out of water in terms of usefulness - but lacks auto-fire, so evens up a bit.
* Comparison with Sonic Blasta Rifle: Does 15 points less damage, slightly less accurate, but has an extra attack per turn and is one handed. Another strategic decision to make.

Sonic-Blasta Rifle

2006-02-26T22:00:59Z

Jebu: /* Weapon Statistics */

The sonic Blasta-Rifle is a very minor upgrade to the [[Sonic Pistol]] that provides a small accuracy and damage increase at the cost of speed, clip size, a two handed grip, and a longer barrel. The sonic Blasta-Rifle, like the [[Thermic Lance]], is perhaps one of the least remarkable of its series.

Do not misunderstand, it is a powerful weapon that can do tremendous amounts of damage in the right hands. It outclasses any ballistic human weaponry by its sheer power alone. However, it doesn't particularly excel at anything, and also, being a sonic weapon, it lacks an auto fire mode.

In a twisted way of thinking, one could argue that this was the Blasta Rifle's strength. It builds on minor aspects of the gun above and below it in small ways.

So should you go for that extra shot from the pistol, go the middle ground and use the rifle, or lose a shot but gain brute force and inhuman accuracy? That's a tactical decision best left as a practical exercise.

In comparison to its UFO equivalent, the [[Plasma Rifle]], the Plasma Rifle stood out for its highly accurate snap shot that surpassed the [[Heavy Plasma]]'s snap shot accuracy - in fact, it's technically the Heavy Plasma snapshot accuracy plus the kneeling modifier.
