Delayed bubble detonations and Martian Saucer drop
Dropped by the Martian Saucer during the Martian Madness invasion, the Xenopopper is an unconventional firearm. Each shot expels 4 to 5 floating bubbles in a forward cone. Following a brief delay of approximately one-third of a second, the bubbles pop and discharge high-velocity bullets toward the cursor crosshair. Each bullet deals 45 base ranged damage at a use time of 21.
Ammunition multiplication and Shroomite setups
The Xenopopper consumes only a single bullet per trigger pull while launching up to 5 individual rounds, multiplying ammunition efficiency dramatically. Firing Chlorophyte Bullet causes all released bullets to curve sharply into targets once their bubbles pop, while Crystal Bullet creates clusters of sharp shards upon detonation. The weapon pairs naturally with Shroomite Helmet for amplified bullet damage. The optimal prefix is Unreal.
Trivia
- Despite discharging up to 5 bullets per shot, the weapon only subtracts 1 bullet from the player's reserves.
- Its firing audio produces a soapy bubble sound rather than conventional gunfire.
