DE-06 Dark Energy Rifle

The DE-06 Dark Energy Rifle is a Weapon in the Story Mode of BTD7: Planet of the Apes.

Description
The Dark Energy Rifle is exactly what it sounds like: An energy weapon that fires concentrated beams of dark energy at opponents.

As the Dark Energy beams fired by the DE-06 come into contact with almost anything, such as enemy targets, they will trigger a localized heat death in the area around the target. Killing enemies with this weapon will cause them to disintegrate down to the last subatomic particle without any noise or any explosions whatsoever, as the distribution of their molecules approach complete equilibrium.

Advantages
The DE-06 the ultimate stealth weapon, as it disorganizes almost all of the sound energy around it as the weapon fires, so its only noise is a faint whooshing sound that can only be heard from very close range.

Targets that are hit feel no pain from the attacks due to localized entropy dissipating the energy of signals from the nervous system around the area, and targets die off silently and painlessly, allowing consecutive stealth kills without alerting nearby opponents and blowing one's cover.

Projectiles fired are also extremely difficult to detect, especially in darker places, as the projectiles are pitch black because they absorb all radiation. Said projectiles can also travel extremely long distances before dissipating and are unaffected by gravity. Not even environments surrounding black holes can stop a Dark Energy Rifle.

Disadvantages
Without upgrades, ammo for the DE-06 is extremely scarce, as it uses Dark Energy Rounds as ammunition. The weapon also has zero knockback, making it a poor choice in close-quarters combat as enemies with enough HP can charge towards you and attack you.

Location
This weapon can only be found in the chamber where the Engine of Darkness is located.
