Necromunda: Hired Gun was fully shown off yesterday and one item stood out.
At one point, many assumed one weapon seen in the game was a rat grenade from the Necromunda tabletop, but according to the devs this is not the case.
What the rat actually is, is a chew toy meant to be used to direct the cyber-mastiff towards enemies to get it to attack them.
Hopefully rat grenades do appear still in the game.
We've seen a lot of comments about this screenshot: this is not a rat grenade!
This is a chew toy for your Cyber-Mastiff. Squeeze it toward your target and see it ripped apart by your best boi? pic.twitter.com/5toQxaBMLY
