![]() Its main downside is that it competes with the BFG10k and Energy Armor for its ammunition, and cells are relatively uncommon, whereas bullets for the Chain Gun can be found more frequently.The Hyperblaster also has the advantage of no spin-up delay, meaning it immediately starts delivering its full damage output whereas the Chain Gun takes around a second to spin up to full speed. The overall damage output of the Chain Gun spinning at full speed is higher than the Hyperblaster, but not by much. Compared to the Chain Gun, it isn't a hitscan weapon so it's less useful against smaller or moving targets, but it can deliver sustained continuous fire for longer - the full 300 bullets will be depleted by the Chain Gun in a little over ten seconds, whereas the full 300 cells would last thirty seconds of continuous hyperblaster fire. It's useful for the same general scenarios in which you might use the Chain Gun. In SP, the Hyperblaster is a good all-round weapon with a strong damage output and rate of fire. ![]() The Hyperblaster uses cells for its ammunition, therefore competing with the BFG10k and Energy Armor. So, while it is effective in sustained combat, a player can make themselves vulnerable if they stop firing prematurely, before enemies are defeated. ![]() Similar to the Chain Gun, the Hyperblaster has a "cool-down" delay that occurs after several repeated shots after you stop firing, you'll be unable to use it for a few moments. Incidentally, the Hyperblaster's rate of fire is the same as that of the Machine Gun, but it deals considerably more damage per shot. However, it fires projectiles whereas the Chain Gun is a hitscan weapon. Its overall damage output rivals that of the Chain Gun - it has a lower rate of fire than the Chain Gun spinning at full speed, but it deals more damage per unit of ammunition. In Quake 2, the Hyperblaster (named Hyper Blaster in the manual) is a rapid-fire weapon that fires a stream of energy projectiles. Its high rate of fire is incredibly effective at destroying the enemy and depleting your energy cells. A hyper blaster is an energy chain gun with no spin up delay.
