Okay, so this is a new one. I'm playing a deathmatch with Ballistic Loadout, and Invasion Everywhere 2 (lots of fun.) I'm on Deck 17, and I noticed what looks like a portal or something on the wall. I start shooting at it with the AIMS-20 and it gets bigger and bigger until it explodes. Okay, so... how do you do that then? That was pretty neat. Second question: What exactly does charging it to full and then activating the special ability do? I've never noticed. Thanks. |

When a bolt from the nova staff and a bolt from the Dark Star hit midflight they creat a black hole/worm hole which absorbs things until they are large enough to explode. I didn't understand the special at all either. However it gives you flight (pretty sweet) and flick through the fire modes, there are a few extra when the special is activated (immolate for the dark star and one other... I can't remember the name of the second but it is powerful. The Nova staff is the same, so go play =D Mal P.S Hope this helps |

Holy crap, so it was just total and complete luck the two bots involved selected the Dark Star and the Nova Staff, and happened to be using them, AND happened to shoot each other's projectiles. Wow. I can honestly say it would have been extremely easy to never see this happen. As for the Dark Star, hmm... I don't ever remember seeing new fire modes... I'll take another look though. Same with the Nova Staff, but then I also don't like the flight on it, so I tend to not use it in favour of the Dark Star... |

There might be more triggers then just those two weapons, but I know that is one way to create it, and the bots tend to favour the staffs~ I think the dark star gives you faster speed and high jump too~ Mal P.S if you really want to see it, set up two of the weapons to only be the staffs :3 |

^^^ what he said. Give the bots those weapons only and they spawn those blackholes everywhere. It's crazy Anyway for anyone still confused, I added a diagram of the firemodes. Attachment: Untitled.jpg You get the 3 in the top row by default, if you collect 10 souls and hit tertiary fire, you unlock the ones in the lower row. Personally I don't quite like how this was done. 5 firemodes is annoying and the bonus modes are so powerful, the weaker ones might as well be replaced by their more powerful counterparts. Why have lightning when you can have chain lightning? You also start flying if you use the nova staff and dark star users get double speed and jump height. other special abilities include the nova staff giving you health regen and the dark star lets you leech health. The melee attacks get a damage boost too. |

Alright... Because I'm bored, here is everything I know about the staves... ---Firemodes--- Nova Staff: -Slow bolt: Big mean bolt. -Fast bolt: Smaller bolts. -Lightning: A much more reliable electrical arc than the HVC, sadly it can only affect one target at a time, and has a nasty tendency to push the target out of its own range. Somewhat ammo hungry and as such is inefficient for straight killing. -God Strike(angel mode): Instantly killing bolt, somewhat difficult to target while flying but extremely efficient kill/ammo cost ratio. -Chain Lightning(angel mode): Similar to a degree to the lightning mode, but acquires additional targets one at a time when hitting. Vehicles that get hit by this get pulled together into a exploding mass of wreckage, which is very entertaining to watch. EXTREMELY ammo hungry, but due to its properties may be an effective use of ammo. -Melee Attack(alt-fire): Does a fair amount of damage, increases ammo count on successful hit. Range seems to increase when in angel mode. Actually capable of damaging vehicles a fair bit. Dark Star: -Slow bolt: Big mean bolt. -Fast bolt: Smaller bolts. -Plasma: Cone of fire capable of doing great damage to enemies and lighting them on fire. In my opinion alot more efficient at killing than the lightning mode of the nova staff. -Fire bomb(demon mode): Powerful explosive arced projectile that leaves a patch of fire on impact. Very effective weapon if you can hit, otherwise might want to use the slow bolts on far targets. -Inferno(demon mode): Ignites targets in sight, I don't use this very often except in invasion, where it can effect swaths of enemies. Low damage potential for the amount of ammo you have to use. I do not recommend it except once again in invasion. -Melee Attack(alt-fire): Pulls enemies toward you and tears them asunder, where-as the nova staff's melee is fairly suited to hit & run attacks, and can kill in a single swipe, this is more or less a go for broke attack as the enemy has a chance to retaliate. Unlike the nova staff attack, it also restores health instead of just ammo, making this less dangerous than it could be (I might be wrong and the Nova staff actually does restore health on attacks). Gets much more powerful when in demon mode. ---Passives--- Nova Staff: -Regeneration: You regenerate up to 150 health when wielding this weapon. -Flight(angel mode): You can fly, takes practice to get used to and is very 'floaty'. Dark Star: -Enhanced speed/agility(demon mode): You can move much faster, and jump much higher. I do not know of a normal passive for this weapon. ---Interactions--- Slow bolt x Slow bolt: Neutralization, likely area damage at point of contact. Fast bolt x Fast bolt: Rare, but I'm sure they neutralize. Fast bolt x Lightning/Chain Lightning/Plasma: Neutralization of fast bolt. Slow bolt x Lightning/Chain Lightning/Plasma: Slow bolt becomes a 'death ball' which homes in on its owner, the owner can fire Lightning/Chain Lightning/Plasma to send it back towards the person who reflected it, this can happen endlessly. Pretty sure the death ball grows in power as it is fed energy. Lightning/Chain Lightning/Plasma x Lightning/Chain Lightning/Plasma: Creation of a black hole. Doesn't have as much pull as you might expect until it gets very large. Grows in size whenever staff attacks are used near it. When it grows too large, it detonates, killing anyone nearby. Interestingly you may notice souls trapped inside, black holes have a habit of becoming 'soul wells' as I call them and may prove beneficial to detonate as a result. |

Welcome back shadowDUMP, long time no see And the black hole is a death hole, but its the best way of getting loads of souls at once. This will help us out people in the future wanting to know the mysteries of the dark star and nova staff Thanks

Black holes are grown by sucking up anything. Bullets, players, rockets, etc

I've never noticed them growing when players get crushed by them. |
