A BFG is a type of weapon that appears in dNetHack, notdNetHack and notnotdNetHack. The BFG is a type of huge futuristic firearm that can fire any item as a projectile, and it is one of the many forms that the Annulus can take. It has a base material of silver, and appears as an ovoid device when unidentified.

Generation

The BFG is not randomly generated normally, though it can be found in bones files and can only be wished for by Tourists.

The Paths of Law in the Law Quest has a 11000 chance of generating a BFG as part of the fallen clockwork war-machine wrecks, giving a roughly ~0.4% probability of at least one BFG appearing.

Description

The BFG is designed as a launcher for any type of ammunition, and can fire almost any item in general. It has a range of 100 squares and a base firing rate of 3 projectiles per shot, with modifications depending on the ammo used: the firing rate is doubled for bullets, increased by 12 (rounded down) for shotgun shells, and decreased by 12 (rounded down) for rockets.
