The DG-04 Laser Rapier is a melee weapon in System Shock (Remake).

Overview

The DG-04 Laser Rapier is the strongest melee weapon that can be found on Citadel Station by a wide margin and is highly effective against all targets. While enemies are on the whole more robust and durable in the Remake, the Laser Rapier is still a devastatingly powerful tool capable of taking down any of SHODAN's horrors within seconds with the right setup.

Like other melee weapons, the Laser Rapier is capable of a power attack after a windup which does extra damage. Also like other melee weapons there are no Modkits available for the Rapier. Unlike the other melee weapons, each attack drains a small amount of energy, even those that miss.

The Rapier's already impressive damage can be further supplemented with a Berserk Patch and a Reflex Patch. EMP Grenades may be used to disable robotic targets, leaving them wide open to the Laser Rapier and allowing the user to save on ammo against tougher robotic threats.

The first Laser Rapier can be found in the Maintenance level, and another can be found on the Executive level. In the Beta version one can be found on the Storage level, but this is not present in the final version.

The colors of the Laser Rapier can vary, the one on Maintenance is blue and the one on Executive depends on the color of your MFD when you pick it up. The one found in storage in the beta version is orange. In early versions of the game the color randomized each playthrough but this changed in later versions.

Trivia

• When you first acquire the laser rapier, the achievement "En Garde!" is unlocked.
