- These arrows are huge in size, made for a rather special ballista. They are archaic, meaning they have no electronic devices in them, yet they are very brutal and effective.
- There are several different versions of them that can be used in different fighting styles, sieges, fights and terrain.
- The traditional arrow is only made of Dral Kayatr, so the stopping power and penetration ability are very good. A rope / wire can be attached to the end of these arrows, so they can be used perfectly even for a gigantic grappling hook.
- The other arrows are already a bit more interesting; they are also from Dral Kayatr, but they are only coated in a thin layer with this material because underneath the arrow itself is made of Druetium so that when the impact hits, the arrowhead and the arrow can fulfil what it was intended to do.
- This could be an EMP / Ion explosion, scatter acid in the area, freeze the surrounding area, or cause a very large explosion and fire due to the Iadrium.
- All the arrows are very durable, tough because of the raw material, and if they are collected by the members of the tribe after the fights, the arrows can be reused, the arrow itself, or just simply a new arrowhead must be put on top, if it wasn't the standard version.
- Distance: It really depends on the ballista, but optimally, these gigantic arrows can fly huge distances and cause huge damage due to their speed and materials, or because of their special features.
- Archaic: The advantage of this is that even if one tries to stop or neutralise it with an EMP / Ion attack, the arrow will go on and it will not be affected by such an attack.
- Durable: The arrows are very durable and strong, so if they are collected after the battles, they will be reusable during the next battle.
- Repair: Thanks to the Dral Kayatr, the arrows are able to repair themselves.
- Distance: Depending on the ballista, if the ballista is damaged or does not work perfectly, the arrow will not approach its maximum range.
- Archaic: It will fly in the direction it is fired, unable to change direction or change its trajectory.
- Special Arrow: The arrows are quite special, it is enough to look at their size so they can only be used with special weapons, probably one that is intentionally made to use these arrows.
- Repair: Although the Dral Kayatr and thus the arrows are able to regenerate, however it can easily get too much damage that this metal can no longer repair anymore. Because the metal can be damaged so that regeneration is no longer effective, not to mention the regeneration is a slow process, in battle this is useless.
The Scar Hounds Tribe has a myriad of different weapons, walkers, droids, soldiers, but they have only a few long-ranged weapons. It was for this reason that members of the tribe who understood the design of the weapon were thinking about what kind of weapon could be made to suit the tribe. One of the best in the tribe, Forgemaster Bashnag was one of the last of his people who still dwelled on Mar'Zambul, he was the one who designed these arrows and the huge weapons that belonged to these arrows.
The Scar Hounds Tribe has been fighting the Ashlan Crusade and the Eternal Empire lately, thanks to the weapons and vehicles captured, destroyed and collected. They also had access to the raw materials of the HPI Consortium. From which these arrows were also made. The tribe had previously worked with the Pride through
Keilara Kala'myr
(Mercy), who is on Terraris, so even now they were the ones who helped make these weapons and arrows in larger numbers.Several different varieties were produced to be used in several different combat situations. Due to their weight and size, they are quite dangerous and can wreak havoc. It's just arrows with a simple Dral Kayatr head, but that can be further enhanced by filling the arrowheads with various other materials. These are archaic weapons, but damn effective and brutal.
And that’s why these fit perfectly into the Scar Hounds Tribe's arsenal.
Not least, the arrows are also available to individual buyers through the HPI Consortium's marketplace.
