G-Pillar

G-Pillar is a dual club and high-caliber rifle weapon in Bayonetta 3. It is bound to the Infernal Demon Gomorrah and is mentioned to be made out of the Demon's biological tissue.

As with other weapons in Bayonetta 3, G-Pillar is treated as an entire weapon set rather than being relegated to the hands only.

In-Game Description[]

Design[]

G-Pillar is a gigantic, anti-materiel rifle and club hybrid. It is made from a purple and metallic material.

In club form, the gun's barrel becomes the club's handle with the muzzle on the pommel, the mace head is comprised of a moving mouth full of teeth, and a tongue, a mouth that can spew out dark purple flames for more damage, there are four red glowing eyes on the sides of the mace head and two red horns that closely resemble Gomorrah's. In rifle form, the gun's barrel and muzzle comes out from the beast's mouth and the gun's tripod legs resemble Gomorrah's legs with its paws and claws. When equipped, instead of butterflies, Bayonetta's steps and jumps generate purple flames at her feet.

How to Obtain[]

During Bayonetta's excursion into Tokyo against the Homunculi, she summons the Gates of Hell where Rodin notices her use of the Demon Slave ability. Noting that he thinks she can handle the weapon's power, he gives her the G-Pillar before she leaves.

Unique Traits[]

Massive in size, G-Pillar allows Bayonetta to perform slow but strong medium-range swipes and strikes coated in dark purple energy, along with ground-pounding hits.

Pressing fires the rifle, which is similarly powerful but has a low rate of fire.

Charge Modifier: Holding down or causes Bayonetta/Jeanne to fire a burst of flame from G-Pillar's mouth after the initial strike, dealing additional damage.
