The MJOLNIR Chain LTN is a special weapon fires lightning bolts that chain between nearby enemies. It deals heavy damage, with a small clip size, low max ammo count, and long reload. It consumes the user's shields in order to fire. It also has a small chance to fire a 'powershot', dealing 200% damage, and another small chance to not consume ammo when firing.

It comes with two different ammo types:

• ZV Unstable Compound, dealing more damage directly but less damage on chain lightning hits.
• ZX Inverse Compound, dealing less damage directly but more damage on chain lightning hits.

The abbreviation for this weapon is 'CLG.'

Notes/Tips

• 75% less drop chance in Hyper Adrenaline
• The Twin Link II item essentially provides temporary double damage since the chain lightning remains accurate regardless of recoil or deviation; note that firing the Mjolnir does not trigger the Twin Link II item, another weapon must be used to trigger the item
• The Muzzle Compensator attachment increases damage without affecting the performance of the weapon
• Due to the Mjolnir's high heat generation, the Backup Printer attachment will allow some of the ammo expended to be gained back, while also removing some heat
• Accessories that enhance the Mjolnir's ammo capacity and mitigate its heat generation are essential for getting the most out of it
• The Barebone Allocator will not activate ammo regeneration if the Mjolnir removed your shields.

Trivia

• Prior to Update 16, the Mjolnir did not consume ammo when fired out of range, and the 10% No Ammo Cost Chance added one free shot to the magazine instead, which could be exploited to give the player unlimited ammo by firing the weapon when no targets were around

• Prior to Update 15, the Mjolnir did not have the 10% No Ammo Cost Chance and Consumes Shield Each Shot modules
  • As a result, a Specialist running the Calculated module benefited from the Mjolnir's high heat generation; intentionally overheating provided a shield buff at almost no cost
  • Similarly, the Specialist's Sun Rising module could be maxed quickly by constantly firing the weapon without any targets around
