Minority Report: Everybody Runs - Weapons

Weapons

Some weapons used in Minority Report: Everybody Runs are invented for the game by Activision and some are lifted directly the movie. All weapons are non-lethal in nature, in keeping with the theme of the story. They are as follows:

  • Concussion Rifle - A one-handed gun that functions like a sawed-off shotgun; fires a highly-concentrated blast of air that sends enemies flying and leaves them dazed.
  • Riot Shotgun - A miniature, futuristic version of the common Bean-Bag Shotgun, it fires small pellets that instantaneously render the subject unconscious. Both the recoil and pump action make this gun very slow to fire.
  • Riot Machinegun - A small, almost Pistol-sized machine-gun that fires bullets that make the subject convulse and eventually lose consciousness.
  • WASP - A gun that fires small rockets powered with an electric current, shocking the subject and rendering the subject unconscious. Particularly effective against robotic enemies.
  • Puke Grenade - A rocket-launcher that fires grenades which emit a green gas that makes the subject involuntarily vomit and render them dazed and confused. In "Everybody Runs" and some of the riot levels, most of the innocents merely dry heave, but are still rendered dazed and confused.
  • Grenade Launcher - A launcher that fires a small rocket which, upon exploding, knocks every person in the immediate area unconscious with a large blast. Very powerful, and as such ammunition is extremely limited.
  • Baseball Bat - A hidden weapon given to the player when they enter the code Slugger into the cheat mainframe. This is the only semi-lethal weapon in the game. Enemies in certain levels also carry these, although they cannot be taken and used.
  • Sick Stick - The only weapon Anderton is unable to use. Carried by PreCrime officers with green bands, these will cause Anderton to involuntarily vomit and become dazed if shocked.

Famous quotes containing the word weapons:

    I have always been of the mind that in a democracy manners are the only effective weapons against the bowie-knife.
    James Russell Lowell (1819–91)

    Advertisers are the interpreters of our dreams—Joseph interpreting for Pharaoh. Like the movies, they infect the routine futility of our days with purposeful adventure. Their weapons are our weaknesses: fear, ambition, illness, pride, selfishness, desire, ignorance. And these weapons must be kept as bright as a sword.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    Boys should not play with weapons more dangerous than they understand.
    —E.T.A.W. (Ernst Theodor Amadeus Wilhelm)
