Berserker's Iron Rifle of Water

Berserker's Iron Rifle of Water gleams under the workshop lamp, its barrel a cool, rain-washed blue-black, the iron skin hammered with wave tracery that seems to ripple when you tilt it. The stock is wrapped in faded blue leather, scarred by years of weather, and a pale aquamarine gem sits in the grip, a drop of river light captured in glass. The rifle hums with a quiet current when you lift it, as if the sea breeze flows through the metal, and the engraved runes along the receiver tell a tale of vengeance tempered by floods. The first owner swore it carried the memory of a bridge that nearly broke under floodwaters, and the second owner swore it kept that memory safe, a talisman disguised as a rifle. The texture is cool to the touch, with a slight dampness that never quite dries, like moss beside a spring that never stops singing. Its role on the field isn't merely metal and accuracy. The Berserker's label hints at a rush of power unlocked when the tide of battle rises; its shots strike with a measured brutality, ripping clean through armor and leaving a slick ring of water that slows the target's next step. Players who time reloads with feints and positioning find it sings in a way that other rifles do not, because the water-born enchantment nudges your sequences toward momentum—follow-up shots snap free as if the air itself were helping you breathe faster. In the hands of a practiced hunter, the weapon becomes a conductor: you draw the line, the foe steps into the stream, and a careful aim sends a rain of copper-cold lead that breaks lines, rinses away fatigue, and keeps your own bruised nerves steady by offering a brief, refreshing calm. It also pairs well with those builds that lean into control and sustain, where the water-borne calm mechanizes patience into precision. On a sunbaked morning, a caravan trader named Mira stops by Saddlebag Exchange, crates stacked like small islands, and the rifle lies across her palm as if testing it for truth. The price is spoken in gold coins—neatly stamped with river symbols—though the true cost, as she softly reminds a young customer, is not only metal and craftsmanship but the stories braided into the iron. The Saddlebag Exchange crowd nods; they know this weapon is not just a tool but a ledger of battles by the river’s edge. She hawks a cautious bargain, noting that wear on the leather, a few nicks on the stock, and a faint fog in the water-sight all shave the tag down as much as they can, until a veteran buyer finally counts out a fair sum. The deal closes with a smile and the rifle’s breath growing steadier in the crowded market; and as the market dissolves into dusty light, the new owner shoulders the weight, ready to walk the flooded lanes and stories that made it what it is. And so the rifle remains, a living line between river and road, ready for the next storm.
