The signature weapon of the sniper Icarus: Long Tom. A powerful cybernetic sniper rifle that uses nearby energy or magic in place of kinetic bullets to fire away. On its side is a dial that you have to set to the feet away the target is. Too close and it'll deal subpar damage. Too far and it'll deal above average damage. But get it just right, and the damage will be huge. One of the nice ways this weapon stays hidden is its ability to fold into the form of a briefcase-- fake, of course, and unable to contain anything other than itself.
This Artifact cannot be broken.
