The Shadow Rifle[1] (シャドウライフル[2] Shadō Raifuru?) is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a one-hit weapon themed around Shadow the Hedgehog and the Black Arms.

Description[]

GUPE8P-6

Shadow with the Shadow Rifle.

The Shadow Rifle is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, firing Chaos Spear-esque shots capable of defeating most enemies with a single shot (one exception is Artificial Chaos, which will take two or more shots due to having multiple-tiers of target-able areas). It can deal massive damage against other types of enemies such as vehicles; it can destroy a Black Arm's Tank with fully powered shields in the Lethal Highway level with a mere thirteen shots.

To unlock it, the player must complete all endings in Shadow the Hedgehog, go to "Last Story", complete The Last Way, and defeat Devil Doom. Once done, the Shadow Rifle will be unlocked after the credits have ended. It holds 20 rounds, has a high range and also solid rate of fire.

Trivia[]

  • The Shadow Rifle is the only secret weapon that cannot reach a Level 2 upgrade, since all but the Last Story have two endings.
  • It is considered one of the most effective weapons in the game, though the Omochao Gun is sometimes considered more effective in certain situations. The shots, however, are not all one-hit K.O.'s, as certain "enemies" such as ships take two or three shots, while certain Black Oaks are completely immune (unless they are shot from behind, which still kills them in one shot).
  • On the left and right sides of the handle, the symbol of the Black Arms is visible.
