The Rogue Prion Gun is an energy weapon that appears in Serious Sam Advance.

Overview[]

The rogue prion gun is a weapon designed around the principles of mad cow disease. It fires a projectile that will drive an enemy into a frenzy when it hits the laser. The target that is affected by the weapon's laser projectile will either sit around doing nothing, occasionally shoot the player, or attack its comrades.

The weapon's NETRICSA description states that it will make the target explode 20 seconds after they're hit by the laser, but this never happens.

Tactics[]

  • The prion gun is not very effective. The confuse effect doesn't make the enemy target other enemies often, if at all. The player is much better off using another weapon and killing an enemy with it instead of using the prion gun and hope that the enemy will stop shooting them.
  • The prion gun can be useful for temporarily โ€œstunningโ€ a powerful enemy, such as a Gunrilla, so that the player can focus on other targets. A confused enemy will usually just stand around, giving the player some breathing room to target other enemies. Then, when they've finished off everyone else, they can kill the enemy that was hit by the prion gun.
