Rod

From left to right, Ram, Tron and Flynn look down at their lightcycle rods as they rez in.

A Rod is an object found in the computer world that was originally intended to be used for controlling lightcycles. Mercury taught Jet Bradley that by breaking a lightcycle rod in two pieces it can become a good close-range weapon that can short-circuit enemy programs.

PRod (Rod Primitive)

A PRod.

A PRod is a rod that is broken in two and used very much like a real world cattle prod. By stabbing or poking an enemy program with the PRod, it short-circuits the program, draining their energy and making them spastic. The program being shocked also starts saying gibberish or error messages ("S...sending..error...message!") until they derez.

It is best used as a way to attack multiple closely-grouped enemies at once. Enemies take damage for as long as the player keeps the attack engaged.

Suffusion Rod

The Suffusion Rod, a weapon very similar to a shotgun.

The Suffusion Rod is a relatively short-range weapon that fires a shotgun blast of energy pellets. When optimized, the number of pellets fired increases and the spread of the blast narrows, making it more effective against longer-range targets.

LOL Rifle

The LOL Rifle, the computer counterpart to a sniper.

The LOL Rifle is basically the computer counterpart to the real world sniper.

Rod Rifles

The Rod Rifles are formed by cracking the rod in half and then the peices cascade down the player's arm forming two long pointed automatic guns. Rod Rifles drain energy very quickly and deal massive amounts of damage.
