Punk

Version 0.29: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A sling made of weird green leather, oozing corrosive slime. Originally the weapon of a notorious mischief-maker and general scamp, it's since fallen into less savoury hands.

Desirability

Punk has good damage output despite its low enchantment, since very few monsters resist the 2d4 acid damage and the corrosion effect will lower monster AC by 8 until it wears off (this does not stack).

History

• Prior to 0.29, Punk was a fustibalus; this weapon gained +1 accuracy in this version as a result.
• Prior to 0.19, Punk had a freezing brand (and greatslings were renamed into fustibali).
• Prior to 0.15, Punk was a +9, +12 sling instead of greatsling.
