Egg launchers are used in the Barbarian Assault minigame to fire eggs at Penance. To do this, the collectors have to place the eggs in the egg hopper, after which anyone can fire the launcher.

Basic mechanics

The interface for shooting eggs

Clicking the launcher will open the cannon interface as seen in the image. If no eggs are loaded in the egg hopper, the message "There are no eggs in the hopper." is displayed instead. Clicking an egg in the interface will shoot that egg to that monster, provided the egg is loaded and the monster is within range. A maximum of 5 of each egg can be loaded at any given time.

Multiplying eggs

This article or section is incomplete and could do with improvement.

Reason: exact stalling mechanics can be more detailed/I just wrote a bunch of crap. Table with all/most possible stalls can be added
You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this article to improve it.

Within Barbarian assault, the team leader (the person who made the team using the recruitment scroll) has a special function: Many of the events in the game (call change, cannon depletion, penance spawning, waves ending) are delayed if the leader is stalled. This can be used to shoot more eggs than are loaded:

The cannon works as follows:

• When an egg is clicked:
  • The egg is launched towards the monster, taking 4-6 ticks to land depending on how far it must fly.
  • The player who clicked is stalled until the egg lands, in which they can't do anything.
• The following tick:
  • The number of eggs in the launcher is reduced by the number of eggs shot, with a minimum of 0.

This means that:

• If multiple people shoot on the same tick, a single egg can be shot multiple times.
• If the team leader uses a stall (e.g. Skill Cape (emote)), players can shoot an unlimited amount of eggs until the stall ends.
• If the collector loads eggs one at a time, and the team leader stalls, many eggs can be fired with only a few eggs loaded.

The omega egg, unlike red, green, and blue eggs, does not stall the shooter. Additionally, multiple clicks to fire the omega egg stack, allowing up to 10 omega eggs per player per tick to be shot. The team leader must not fire the omega egg, however, as their clicks do not stack, and only one egg will be fired no matter how many players shoot. The team leader can give the rest of the team extra time to fire omega eggs with stalls.

Note: When fighting the Penance Queen, many common stalls (such as emotes) cannot be used due to combat. Instead, one has to use one of the following stalls:

• Equipping a mind shield or elemental shield (can be spammed if you bring two) - One extra firing tick
• Studying Nuff's certificate (must be studied, not read) - Two extra firing ticks
• Drinking a shrink-me-quick (will not be consumed on use) - Three extra firing ticks

Trivia

• The top part of the launcher has the examine text An egg launcher. whereas the bottom part has the examine text An egg launcher!
