The Arachnoid chaingun is a rapid-firing automatic weapon used by Arachnoids and are their primary weapons in combat. Several varieties of this weapon exist.
Overview[]
This chaingun is the primary weapon used by Arachnoids. According to the Arachnoid's backstory, the chaingun was created by Mental and given to them after they became part of his army.[1] It is highly accurate and can deal rapid damage to the target. The weapon has impressive range, accuracy, and low spread, allowing the Arachnoid to fire at an enemy from a distance, even on a moving target. Chainguns are fitted with a techno-magical ammunition replenisher, which gives the gun unlimited ammunition.[2] Despite these advantages, the weapon is susceptible to overheating due to its high fire rate, so Arachnoids tend to fire in bursts.[3]
The chaingun is used by both juvenile and adult Arachnoids in Serious Sam 1 and the HD and VR remakes, and by Adult Arachnoids and Hatchling Arachnoids in Serious Sam 3: BFE, Serious Sam 4 and Serious Sam: Siberian Mayhem. In Serious Sam 3, Adult Arachnoids use a slightly different variation of the chaingun, which are built into their pincers. When they spot a target, they will open their pincers and fire the chainguns simultaneously. In Serious Sam 4, Adult Arachnoids carry their chainguns as separate weapons.
The player cannot pick up or use the chaingun, as it is not scripted to be used by the player.
Trivia[]
- The chainguns in Serious Sam 1 use the same firing sound as the Thompson submachine gun.
