• While not an innacurate weapon, due to the shorter length of the barrels from the Z-6, uncontrolled firing will quickly reduce accuracy of shots at average and further range
• Due to the weapon being nearly entirely controlled by a semi-intelligent combat AI, the weapon can be compromised by weapons that disable droids

DESCRIPTION

This weapon was the response to Valdus Bral's inability to be content with just two arms and limited weapons. Valdus carries a large physical shield and thus his offense has been compromised. In order to work around this unfortunate state of affairs, Valdus began tinkering with a few of his heavy weapons. Named after the Basilisk Droid, the B-3 is half the size, half the barrels, of the Z-6 Rotary Blaster. Using parts from the harness of a Quad Blaster, Valdus was able to make two, back mounted shoulder automatic rotary blasters. Due to the large amount of space taken up by the mounting arms, the blasters themselves, and the miniature power-cell array backpack that feeds the rotary blaster, it is impossible for a traditional jetpack to be used or any other back mounted devices.
