The wingstick is a boomerang-like throwing weapon featured in RAGE. It appears to be a three-bladed propeller with cloth on one of the blades, serving as a handle. It is hugely powerful, killing most basic enemies in a single hit, although if they're armored, it may break.

The protagonist can learn how to throw a wingstick by completing the side quest "Wingstick Mastery" in the Hagar settlement, which will also bring him five free wingsticks and make it possible to buy more from Halek Hagar.

DescriptionEdit

The wingstick is a throwing weapon, usually most effective when thrown at the head. Like the Striker crossbow, the wingstick can silently kill a hostile without other enemies becoming aware. Wingsticks can also be useful at close range against armored targets. The wingstick can be upgraded to the advanced wingstick, which gives it the ability to target up to three enemies before breaking or returning.

The wingstick tracks the enemy the players are aiming at, so even if they miss it can loop around to kill the enemy. There is a chance that the wingstick might break when thrown, especially if it is thrown against a hard surface, armored opponent, or if it bounces off too many surfaces. There is also a chance that the wingstick will become lodged in the enemy and, in the case with mutants, will disappear if not retrieved quickly enough. If the players run out of wingsticks they can always buy more, or even make some using the corresponding schematics.

CraftingEdit

The basic schematic can be bought from Halek Hagar in the Hagar settlement. The advanced wingstick schematic can be bought from Jani in "Jani's Supplies" in Subway Town.

It requires some steel blades, a hardware packet and electrical wire kit to craft fifteen (advanced) wingsticks.

NotesEdit

• Unlike the most weapons in RAGE, the wingstick is a self-made weapon. It seems to be made from a broken propeller or a fan blade. Loosum Hagar also mentions that they have a nano core for targeting.
• For some reason, wingsticks can be sold for more than advanced wingsticks.

TriviaEdit

• Despite its being a secondary weapon, the wingstick is the signature weapon of RAGE.
• In the "Uprising" trailer, the wingstick is shown to have an upgradable explosive attachment that will detonate shortly after being thrown. However, this upgrade doesn't appear in the game itself.
• The wingstick appears as an avatar prop item on Xbox Live Marketplace, purchasable for 240 Microsoft points.
• Team Fortress 2 features an engineer item called the "wingstick" that is a promotional miscellaneous item.
