for 20,000 dynes.
USEFULNESS
==========
Due to its drawback of firing extremely slowly, the Assassin misses its mark a
significant amount of the time, making it a very unreliable weapon. While not
totally bad, the Assassin is made genuinely useless by the Pulverizer, which
becomes available at the same point in the game, and which deals more damage
while having no drawback.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
PULVERIZER (+100%)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This makes your gun deal 200% damage.
AVAILABILITY
============
A Pulverizer can be bought at the shop in the Seekers' Stronghold, for 30,000
dynes.
USEFULNESS
==========
For almost all purposes, the Pulverizer is strictly the best gun part in the
game. It does more damage to normal targets than the Mauler, High Vulcan or
Assassin (200% compared to 120%, 150% and 190% respectively). It even does more
damage to weak points than the Sniper(a proportional 200% compared to a
proportional 170%).
Admittedly, it doesn't gain you BP like the Berserk Leech or Berserk Vampire,
and it can't shoot three enemies simultaneously like the Tri-Burst. However,
those abilities will not (or will rarely) help you defeat enemies as fast as
the Pulverizer will, and speed is important for getting Excellent grades.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
BERSERK VAMPIRE (+0%)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
This replenishes your BP by 85 whenever you hit something with your gun. You
will recover less BP if the enemy dies during the hit, as less damage will have
been done.
AVAILABILITY
============
1) A Berserk Vampire can be bought at the shop in the Seekers' Stronghold in
Disc 4, for 20,000 dynes.
2) You can get one for free in Disc 4 if you complete the side quest based
around saving Enkak (of the caravan) by finding a Tobitama Rock. See Sections
4.12 and 4.20 for details on how to do this.
3) Another free Berserk Vampire is available on the third floor of the Tower,
when you return there in Disc 4. See Section 4.25 for details.
USEFULNESS
==========
Though the Vampire is at least better than the Berserk Leech, it suffers from
the same fundamental problems as that gun part. It simply does not help you
defeat enemies faster than normal, and so does not aid you in getting those
elusive Excellent grades. BP can be replenished via items or your camp anyway,
without you having to slow yourself down by using this.

> Caravan shop
These items are stocked by the caravan's shop from the time you first get
there. None of them are essential, or even particularly worth buying. The only
really useful item - the Mauler - is available for free in the Garil Desert
anyway.
