Baranz's parts were used to create this enemy weapon.

- In-game description

Baranz Launcher is a rare shot created from Parts of Baranz.

It is considered to be the strongest shot in the game due to its high ATP and sacrificial special, but it comes with a couple of drawbacks:

• It can only hit 4 targets instead of 5
• The projectiles move slower, allowing enemies to be more likely to evade them
• A Photon Sphered TypeSH/Shot deals more damage overall

Availability

Enemy Parts

Baranz Launcher is obtainable by giving Montague Parts of Baranz in the quest Dr. Osto's Research or Unsealed Door after completing Doc's Secret Plan.

Trivia

• Despite being named Baranz Launcher and being created from a Parts of Baranz, the colouring of the weapon matches the Garanz enemy. Oddly enough, there is a skin for a version which represents the colours of a Baranz (blue and orange colors) located in the game files. It is unknown why it was created and not used.
• Though Baranz Launcher has a high ATP potential, it is often passed up for similar weapons, such as Charge Arms, because of its susceptibility to miss due to manual evasion. This is where weapons with non-homing low projectile speed can miss because the target has moved far that its hitbox has moved away from the coordinates at which the projectile was fired.
