Knightley's Ray Gun

"If you ever find yourself in a tight spot, there's no better thing to use than this Ray Gun. Yeah, yeah, I know it looks like a child's toy. Well you're certainly going to feel like a child playing a video game when you start shooting some zombie brains out with this baby."

- Raina Knightly, Ray Gun creator

Knightley's Ray Gun, or simply known as the Ray Gun, is a Wonder Weapon featured in Call of Duty: Apocalypse Warfare It serves as somewhat of a nod to the original Porter's X2 Ray Gun found in the canon Call of Duty installments with Zombies, in addition to being an Apocalypse Warfare variant.

Story
As pointed out by the name, the Ray Gun was designed and created by Raina Knightley, who oversees all Science and Engineering operations in The Order.

The Ray Gun project originally began as a pet project by Knightley, who used some of her own resources and time in an attempt to create some sort of unique, viable, and cheap energy to power The Order's base of operations rather than resorting to traditional methods. Knightly tested the project on a much smaller scale and didn't quite get the results she wanted, but found out that her experiments netted different results that had other properties.

The energy that Knightley produced was highly lethal, yet easily contained and if it was handled carefully, could be used for many other applications than what she originally wanted. She knew that the groups of survivors who would constantly venture the zombie infested NYC always ran into some trouble, so perhaps her new invention could in fact be used to help them.

Thus, the Ray Gun was designed and created. Raina chose to design the Ray Gun based on a toy alien blaster she had had as a child, merely as a fun little thing and much to some of the soldiers' dismay.

Gameplay
"I sure hope Raina knew what she was doing when creating this..."

Knightley's Ray Gun appears in all maps in Call of Duty: Apocalypse Warfare. It can only be obtained from the Mystery Box for 950 points. It is considered by many players to be one of the more effective guns against zombies. Although it does not contain as much ammunition as the regular weapons, the Ray Gun certainly packs a punch. The default Ray Gun is highly effective against zombies drastically longer than any other normal weapons.

Pack-a-Punched
When Pack-a-Punched, Knightley's Ray Gun becomes the Knightley's Ray Blaster. In addition to becoming fully automatic (can still be fired semi-automatic), Knightley's Ray Blaster sees a small increase in base damage and splash damage. It is able to hold more rounds and backup ammunition as well. Recoil and penetration are unchanged.
