Anti-Ghost gun - Silvercloud29 - 10-22-2014
The gun that you find in the void that is meant to be used with the pair of goggles to see ghosts doesn't do ANYTHING against ghosts at all... Period. thats it

You have to shoot the ghost point blank for it to work

I've shot them from a distance before, but yes, it works best point-blank (you have to use harm intent to point-blank them otherwise you are just bonking them with the gun).

Ahh, I didn't know that. First time I was really running the void by myself
Re: Anti-Ghost gun - Crumplehat - 10-26-2014
Oh, and by the way, it only works against GHOSTS, not SPIRITS. There's a distinct difference.

Didn't it used to?

afaik, no. Tasers do, which may be why you're confused since the projectile is the same thing just yellow.
Re: Anti-Ghost gun - Crumplehat - 10-28-2014
Because that would involve critter code or whatever and that's a can of worms nobody wants to mess with. It's likely easier to just not make it work on them. That said, I can see why you'd want it to work that way; it'd certainly help when a vampire keeps summoning the damn things all the time.
Also, Tasers work on displaced particle fields, but as far as I know not so much on spirits? I could be wrong though.

Thought it was any energy weapon, I could be thinking of science ghosts.

idk maybe I'm wrong I could have sworn I've shot tasers at them and they died but maybe I'm the one who died

Spirits are literal ghosts while displaced particle fields are only science ghosts.
