The Shocker is a weapon that appears in Serious Sam: Tormental.
Overview[]
The shocker is a taser-like weapon that fires electrical bolts when the fire key is pressed. It has terrible range, but it can deal damage very quickly to the target when fired at them. The electric shock fired by the shocker can also electrocute other enemies that are close to the enemy being targeted.
Appearances[]
The weapon has a random chance of appearing from blue chests that appear throughout the levels or it can also be purchased from weapon shops.
Tactics[]
- The shocker is best reserved for use on small to medium masses of weak enemies, especially when they are clustered together. Hoppers, Gonks, Rowteeth, etc. make excellent targets.
- The shocker can also be used to deliver a moderate amount of damage to a single tough opponent, such as the Cerebull, Croakueen, Heliopora or Red Widow.
- The shocker can't carry very much ammo, so it should be used sparingly, unless the player has plenty of ammobox pickups.
- It is an ideal weapon for stunning enemies that get too close or are about to attack the player.
Trivia[]
- The shocker is similar to The Shaft, a similar weapon in Serious Sam's Bogus Detour.
- It is also similar to the Lightning Gun from Quake III Arena.
