Parser, from Fraghouse, released his port of Unreal Tournament's Ripper for UT2004.
It has new animations, new sounds and headshots are still in! Primary is the usual blade which bounces off walls whereas secondary is an explosive blade with splash damage.

I'm very pleased that this has been released. However, I'll only be using it when it's embedded into those UT'99 remake maps. It feels a little out of place to me. I'd also love to see this mutator standard in the Classic UT mutator.

It has some problems...

1) The secondary splash is too big. It's like having a rocket launcher with a higher rate of fire... too unbalanced.
2) There's no "centered" weapon model.. it just shows on the left (minor gripe)
3) It replaces the link gun so forget using it in ONS.

The ripper was, IMO, the most pointless weapon in UT'99. Sure, it could do headshots, but the shots were too slow moving to hit anyone in the head.I'm glad they threw it out in 2003 so it didn't take up valuable keys. Personally I'd rather see the Enforcer in UT2004, that thing akimbo was much more effective than the dual assault rifle.

The secondary ripper was great to push enemies of ledges and cliffs.
I loved pushing an enemy flagcarrier of the asteroid in Face. :)

Sorry about the crappy skin for it, but I'm not a modeller or skinner. I know my way around Milkshape enough to animate a model and get it working in UT2004 and that's it.

If Kangus (http://wod.beyondunreal.com) ever gets WoRm2k4 working then you'll be able to choose which weapon to replace with the Ripper. At the moment it's just a port with the patches that showed themselves when porting over fixed.

Also, I believe it's not as powerful as the rocket launcher. It doesn't push people about as much as the RL and it takes more direct hits to kill the person.

I'm betting I've got a bit of a problem.. or should the skin look like this?
