Rotorblade

The Rotorblade is a wonder weapon that first appeared in The Last Sabbath. It is a hybrid of a melee weapon and a projectile-based weapon.

Effectiveness
As a melee weapon, the Rotorblade inflicts about as much damage as the Galvaknuckles, but is much slower due to it being a heftier weapon. As a projectile-based weapon, each shot will have infinite damage and penetration, making it a highly effective weapon. However, only one sawblade can be stored at a time, which, when combined with it's fairly slow reload time, makes it quite difficult to use when fighting off hordes. Also, if you fire all of the sawblades, you are unable to use it as a melee weapon.

Dead Alert
When Pack-a-Punched it becomes the Dead Alert. This upgrade will increase it's melee damage, and will also allow the weapon to hold three sawblades rather than one. The reload time is also slightly quicker, and you be supplied with more spare ammunition.

Further Notes

 * The name Dead Alert is a reference to the real-time strategy game Command &amp; Conquer: Red Alert.
