best not to use this gun part at all, especially if Excellent grades are your
target.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
SNIPER (+0%)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This makes your gun deal 170% damage-to-weak-points to weak points, but only
normal damage to other targets.
AVAILABILITY
============
A Sniper can be bought at any shop from the beginning of Disc 2 onwards, for
12,000 dynes.
USEFULNESS
==========
The Sniper is an extremely powerful gun part, as most bosses and sub-bosses (as
well as many normal enemies) have weak points. The Sniper kills these foes
almost twice as fast as the basic gun, making it possibly the most important
gun part in the game. It is especially vital considering how early in the game
you can get it, and how long it is before you can get the superior Pulverizer.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
TRI-BURST (-30%)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This makes your gun shoot at the three closest enemies simultaneously. If three
are not present, then it will shoot two simultaneously, or one. 70% damage will
be dealt to each enemy.
For example, if your basic gun deals 200 damage to a single enemy, with the
Tri-Burst it will deal 140 damage to each of three enemies (420 damage
overall), 140 damage to each of two enemies (280 damage overall), or 140 damage
to a single enemy, depending on how many are present.
AVAILABILITY
============
1) The first place you can get a Tri-Burst is from Radgam, in Zoah, at the
beginning of Disc 2. See Section 4.07.
2) One can also be found in B1F of the Underground Ruins of Uru. See Section
4.11.
3) A Tri-Burst can be bought at a reduced price from Jephthah, a Seeker who
will be upstairs in Juba's at the beginning of Disc 3. See Section 4.12.
4) Finally, you can actually buy a Tri-Burst at shops from the beginning of
Disc 3 onwards, though why you would want to with all those other ones floating
around is a mystery.
USEFULNESS
==========
The Tri-Burst is not as generally useful as things like the High Vulcan or
Sniper, and your dragon's lasers usually perform its function better. It is
better than them on a few occasions, however, and these are detailed in the
walkthrough.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
ASSASSIN (+90%)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This makes your gun deal 190% damage. Uniquely, though, the Assassin's slow
shot often misses, especially when aimed at moving or swaying targets.
>>> IMPORTANT NOTE <<<
======================
(From Section 8.01, the "Errors" section:)
The description from your item list, which states that the Assassin deals
"Mortal damage to any weak point", is apparently a mistake. Whether this text
is a translation error, something from an earlier stage in the game's
development, or whether it is a programming oversight that the Assassin doesn't
do mortal damage to weak points, is unclear. Whatever the explanation is, the
Assassin definitely does not do proportionally more damage to weak points than
any other gun.
AVAILABILITY
============
1) If you complete the side quest based around Radgam's gun, you can get an
Assassin for free when you reach the Seekers' Stronghold, at the beginning of
Disc 4. See Sections 4.12 and 4.20 for details of this simple quest.
2) In Disc 4, an Assassin can be bought at the shop in the Seekers' Stronghold,
