    Greetings,

    I'm currently planning a new character. He shall be mostly a thief but with a litte tech support and he shall use a tesla gun.

    Since I know already NPCs that carry the hand gun and elephant gun, I'm now wondering: Is there a NPC that carries a Looking-Glass Rifle?

    By the way:
    In the bangelian deeps, near the entrance, there is a chest that seems to be belonging to a magick-shop. There is a monster in front of it which always turns hostile on sight. Is this just a normal chest or is this a shop? If it's the latter, how can I keep the monster friendly? I've never encountered a friendly creature in these caverns.

    The firearms master in Ashbury has one on him. I think it's a better weapon than the Tesla gun, but whatever.

    It's just a chest.

    Only in the unpatched game.

    The firearms master has it in the patched game, and I nevertheless do not care for the Tesla gun. My personal opinion of the weapons has nothing to do with patches.

    In the patched game, the LGR is simply not a good gun, with only 10-30 damage and poor speed. Its not the awesome 40-40 damage of the unpatched version. Tesla is not my favorite as it requires investing 5 extra CPs in order to make a Tesla Rod for it, but it certainly is better than the patched LGR. A blade launcher, however, beats Tesla in ammo consumption and reliability of damage, as I have mathematically proved in my research:

    Then again, Tesla gun schematics are easier to obtain. Inventors sell them quite often. Then again, to get a Mech gun you don't even need schematics...
