The BFG is not randomly generated, though it can be found in [[bones]] files. The [[Law Quest (dNetHack)|Law Quest]] Paths of Law can very rarely have a BFG as part of the fallen clockwork war-machine wrecks, but this is exceedingly unlikely - each wreck has a 1/1000 chance to have a BFG or a platinum wand. In total, each game has around a 0.4% to have at least one BFG. Only [[Tourist]]s are capable of [[wish]]ing for a BFG.

The BFG is not randomly generated, though it can be found in bones files. The Law Quest Paths of Law can very rarely have a BFG as part of the fallen clockwork war-machine wrecks, but this is exceedingly unlikely - each wreck has a 1/1000 chance to have a BFG or a platinum wand. In total, each game has around a 0.4% to have at least one BFG. Only Tourists are capable of wishing for a BFG.

Description

The BFG 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 double for bullets, increased by 12 rounded down for shotgun shells, and decreased by 12 rounded down for rockets.
