Punk

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

A sling made of weird green leather, oozing corrosive slime. Originally the weapon of a notorious mischief-maker and general scamp, it's since fallen into less savoury hands.

Desirability

Punk has good damage output, despite its low enchantment. Very few monsters resist acid, and the corrosion effect significantly increases damage (-8 AC, doesn't stack).

History

• Prior to 0.29, Punk's base type was a fustibalus instead of a modified sling. It had -1 accuracy.
• Prior to 0.19, Punk had a freezing brand.
• Prior to 0.15, Punk was a +9, +12 sling instead of a greatsling (greatslings were later renamed into fustibali).
