Army Carbine

The Army Carbine is one of the weapons in the game Bastion.

Description[]

High-damage ranged weapon with heavy recoil. Accuracy increases the longer the attack button is held down. Can be fired from the hip but is inaccurate at all but point-blank range. A Power Shot can be performed if the attack button is released half-way to full accuracy; this shot is more powerful and almost as accurate as a full-length shot.

Signature weapon of the Caelandian Triggers of the Old World.

Upgraded with Something Fancy.

"The standard-issue bolt-action rifle of the Caelondian armed forces, also known as the weapon that conquered the continent."

Weapon Pick Lines[]

Cael Hammer: A hammer and an Army Carbine. When I was a fighting man, I used the very same.
Fang Repeater: Figure it's a good time to put his two favourite firearms to the test.
Breaker's Bow: Best not let them get too close if you only got a bow and a carbine.
War Machete: Machete and carbine still go well together just like in the War.
Scrap Musket: No more fooling around, time to roll out the big guns and get this over with.
Dueling Pistols: Now that's a lot of guns for just one Kid, but he can hold his own.
Brusher's Pike: Sometimes a Brusher's Pike just ain't enough. That's what the Carbine's for.
Fire Bellows: When one type of firepower ain't enough, there's always the carbine and the bellows.
Galleon Mortar: Kid ain't taking chances, takes all the firepower he can carry.
Calamity Cannon: Kid makes me nervous sometimes strutting around with all those guns.
