Banger Spheres
Two thrown across half a trainyard from a jai-alai scoop to make two mantaurs angry enough to charge.
Story so far
Carl uses them as an opening bid rather than a weapon. He steps out of the tunnel at Station and Repair Hub E, loads a banger sphere into his Xistera and hurls it at the pair of ManTauR guarding the employee line — a distance he honestly does not believe he can cover. The first ball sails true but lands short with a plink, and one of the creatures bends to pick it up; the second is already in the air and crashes into the other's head, drawing a cry of pain and a distant health bar.
Both white NPC dots turn red the moment they see him. Carl waves at them and waits.
Appearance
Small metal balls, thrown by hand or slung from a scoop.
