Gravity-rod rifle
Cloudraker is terrified of being grounded, and frustrated with his inability to escape the bounds of a planetary atmosphere. He can inflict his neuroses on his enemies with his gravity-rod rifles, which alter the effects of gravity on their targets, causing them to plummet uncontrollably or helplessly float away.
