— Weapon Description Broken {{ref}} (outdated style)

Description

Classified as an explosive weapon, the Black Hole Launcher fires miniature black holes which pull everything in their vicinity towards them. Its potential is realized when used to fight groups of enemies and vehicles. Being an alien weapon, it relies on a charge and does not use ammunition of any sort.

While an immensely powerful weapon in its own right, it is less effective against Wardens and Marauders, as it does not disintegrate them outright. Wardens are still trapped by the Black Hole, and will still take damage from the blast though. Marauders are only vulnerable to the Black Hole if it is fired at the back of their head.

The "Singularity Gun," is the only costume for the Black Hole Launcher.

Effective Range and Rate of Fire can both be upgraded 5 levels each, There is no "ultimate upgrade".Broken {{ref}} (outdated style)

Availability

It is unlocked in the Weapons Cache after completing the Johnny Gat's "WWGD" Side Quest. The next side questTemplate:Fact gives an ammo upgrade to the gun.
