- Assault config - When in this configuration, the rifle fires much like a typical blaster. Assault config sacrifices range and stopping power for fire rate and less recoil.
- Sniper config - This configuration is self explanatory. This config allows the user to eliminate targets from incredible ranges with ease.
- Burns Twice As Bright...: Being able to fill 2 roles, the Erebos Protocol sniper rifle is rather versatile compared to the industry's standard. Both configs come with their own strengths such as the strength and power of the sniper config and the suppression and close quarters capabilities of the assault config.
- Burns Half As Long...: While each configuration has their strengths, they come with their weaknesses as well. The sniper config may be effective at long ranges, in close quarters it is virtually useless without the time required to utilize the scope and aim at targets. The assault config comes with some kick to it and, in untrained hands, will do a lot more harm than good for the user.
The age of modular weaponry has been around for quite a long time. To be able to carry to battle one weapon that can perform multiple tasks is what turns an ordinary soldier into an extraordinary warfighter. The Erebos Protocol is the first of modular weaponry from Merr Mechanica and aims to be the best in the category. Erebos Protocol comes with 2 configurations: Sniper and Assault. As their names describe, Sniper config is meant for long range battles while the assault config is meant for more close quarters. With the simple press of a button, the warfighter may switch between configs for whichever situation they might find themselves in. To add tot he exotic element of the weapon, something that Merr Mechanica prides itself in doing with their technology, the weapon utilizes ferrofluid as ammunition. The ferrofluid is pulled through a magnetic field into the barrel and shot at incredible speeds, ripping through metals like a hot lightsaber. Each configuration fires different sized bolts of ferrofluid, of course, with the sniper firing large bolts and the assault config firing smaller bolts.
