A big thanks to MachDelta for sending this one in. Looks like the Ripper is going to make its way back into our lives. |

I love the Ripper, I loved spamming a tunnel where you know someone is with the Ripper, hehe...  |

You really need to play UT, Cheetah
They're right Tycho, that's a dead link. I'm not sure if the Ripper would be much good in UT200x though, the maps are too big...
Can't say I'd care though, I never used the Ripper even if I only had the hammer  . |

It's a weapon from UT that shoots razorblades that ricochet off walls etc. The secondary fire produces blades that explode on impact.
It's based off of the Razorjack from the original Unreal.
Oh and Legolas.....it's not exclusive to UT GOTY edition. It was in just plain UT also. |

Yeah, for some odd reason they trashed the WHOLE friggin thread. Its gone. Just dissapeared off the face of the earth. Maybe Cliffy wasn't supposed to say what he said?
Oh well, all he did say was this:

Can't say. |
Hopefully its true, though the complete disspearance of said thread is kind of worrisome :\ |

I'm trying to figure out why they are bringing it back. It seemed like a novelty at best. It's uses were very limited as it was a very difficult weapon to score kills on.
They would really have to speed up the razors velocity to make it at all useful (among other things). But, even then I dont know how useful it would be in gametypes like ONS. Perhaps it will be brought back for only certain gametypes kinda like the LG and Sniper rifle. Who knows?
Anyone have an idea why they would bring it back? |

I can only imagine it happening in a single-player game, and it would probably be more similar to Unreal's Razorjack than the Ripper (no explosive ammo), but with a more useful secondary fire perhaps.
Don't worry about it Mach, they say things they wish they hadn't and so delete the thread all the time. Doesn't mean anything... |

Or perhaps it will be a new gametype called Decapitation where only headshots count |

Decapitation sounds good to me.
The Razorjack/Ripper was a damn fun weapon.
Spammy as all hell, and maybe cruel to people's dialup connections (all those actors flying about to be kept track of).
A good Panic weapon for crappy players like me.... Ping a zillion of them down a corridor on Deck16 in a desperate attempt to get rid of the ShockRifle Combo-er. And it often worked. |

Well nowadays the Link can fulfill that purpose just fine. I've had loads of kills by spamming plasma along that narrow platform leading to the door in AS-Convoy... |
