The Ghostgun is a weapon that appears in Serious Sam: Tormental.
Overview[]
The ghostgun fires a single projectile when the player presses the fire key. These projectiles home in on enemies, can travel far and ricochet off walls, often destroying them. The weapon can instantly destroy nightmare enemies and deal a lot of damage to normal enemies. The projectiles also pierce through them like the cannonballs fired by the Mini Cannon.
Appearances[]
The ghostgun can be obtained from blue chests, bought with keys or has a rare chance to appear from a red chest at the beginning of Mental Woods. Unlike other serious weapons, the ghostgun has to be unlocked with a key in the Vault before they can acquire it.
Tactics[]
- The player can be damaged by the projectiles fired from the ghostgun, so they need to keep a safe distance when firing it to avoid taking damage.
- As the ghostgun can destroy nightmare enemies, this makes it a very useful weapon to use in Nightmare Caves if the player has it, as they can easily clear out the room of any Bullmares, Choculamares and Huntmares.
- It is a strong weapon that is useful for taking out groups of weak enemies like Gonks, Hoppers, Rowteeths, Snorklers etc., while dealing high damage to tougher enemies.
- The ghostgun is a very useful weapon to use during the Arachnithid Matriarch boss fight; the projectiles can kill any Arachnithid Terrors and Devouers that spawn in the room. It can also deal a lot of damage to the Matriarch, too.
