Gametype	All
Appears in	Unreal Tournament

Volatile Weapon is a mutator found in Unreal Tournament.

Overview

The mutator makes a player discharge all ammunition from their equipped weapon when fatally wounded, randomly scattering projectiles around their corpse with the weapon's primary fire all at once.

Bullets, and lasers from the Shock Rifle will travel unhindered, while other projectiles will hit the player corpse first.

If a Chainsaw, Translocator or Impact Hammer is equipped, no discharge occurs.

Tips and tricks

• The explosive properties of the Rocket Launcher and the Bio Rifle makes a good opportunity for a close-range suicide attack.
• The projectiles from the Pulse Gun and the Ripper tend to be absorbed by the player's corpse, bringing little value to the mutator.

Trivia

• According to the Readme of the original release, the mutator was created by Steve Sinclair.

Developer's Notes

"When you frag someone, the weapon they are carrying explodes. (in a similar fashion to that of Volatile Weapon)"
