The Ripjack is a conventional secondary weapon introduced in the XCOM 2 expansion, War of the Chosen. It is one of the signature weapons of the Skirmishers.
Description
The Ripjack is the conventional secondary weapon of the Skirmishers. It is used for the Skirmisher's melee attacks such as Justice and Wrath. While it does less maximum damage than the conventional Sword, it deals its damage consistently when attacks land.
Unlike the Sword, the Ripjack does not have a Slash attack by default and must gain it through training.
