Special Weapon Effects Edit

Your Life Is Mine - Shock and transfusion rounds. Increased Damage.

Drop GuideEdit

The Aries has a chance to drop from Badass Defenders. Like all pearlescents, the Aries can also be dropped from Crawmerax and found in Crimson Lance weapon chests.

Usage & Description Edit

The Aries' only stat modifier is increased damage, but it tends to spawn with great parts and material. Due to its mandatory shock/transfusion accessory, the Aries rips through shields with ease. The shock damage in particular benefits its transfusion rounds as it only activates when the shield of the target has been depleted. Its healing effects are strong enough to turn the tide of a battle, but should not be relied upon for any primary health regeneration.

Notes Edit

• The Aries will not produce transfusion trails when wielded by an enemy. It only has a chance to produce the transfusion effect when wielded by a player.
• The only legitimate prefix is 'Pearl'.
• The healing trails will head towards the nearest player but will heal anyone upon contact, including enemies who stray into the return path.
• The transfusion effect still triggers on dead enemies, as long as the ragdoll has not been disabled.
• Like the transfusion grenade's trails, the healing trails off of the Aries' rounds disappear after a set distance, limiting its effectiveness.

Trivia Edit

• Given Atlas' habit of naming their weapons after ancient Greek mythology it may seem likely that the name of the Aries revolver is a misnomer and should have been named the Atlas Ares. However, Aries the Ram is a constellation, and the bearer of golden fleece from Greek mythology.
• The flavor text might be a reference to the first installment of the God of War video game series. In which Kratos, the protagonist and general of the Spartan army, begs for Ares the Greek God of War to crush his (Kratos') enemies after promising "My life is yours." [1]

Mechanics Edit

The Aries effect comes from the acc5_Heal_AtlasAries accessory. It is based off of acc3_Shock. Unlike every other legendary elemental accessory, acc5_Heal_AtlasAries only provides a standard +6 tech, the same as a normal accessory. That said, it does give a (relatively) massive +30% damage, which is doubly significant in that: A normal elemental accessory gives -40% damage. No other (non-unique) accessory can provide a damage boost to revolvers. The Aries is made of Material_Aries_3, which is equivalent to Material_Atlas_3. The Aries does not have any particular part restrictions. For an explanation on how to interpret the information on the following table, please see the stat modifiers page.
