Bane

The Bane is a Submachine Gun manufactured by Hyperion. It is a reward for completing the mission The Bane. Throughout the mission it is mentioned that the Bane is cursed and brings misfortune to it's owner. Once the weapon is found by the player, it is not hard to see why; the bane's unique effects make the player a rather poor combatant by severely reducing his/her movement speed and yelling various distracting phrases.

Special Weapon Effects
Extremely reduced movement speed, poor handling, and while firing the weapon it will yell out phrases: the bane!, rata-tat-tat!, and assorted gibberish.
