| Overview |
Cybernetic Weapons are built-in enhancements primarily used by the Cyber Lin Kuei assassins Cyrax, Sektor, Cyber Smoke, Cyber Sub-Zero, Triborg and Frost. While arguably a weapon, almost all of the Cyborg Ninjas could also initiate an Auto Destruct sequence. Other characters such as Jax, Kano and Hsu Hao also have cybernetic enhancements, but none of them are not from the Lin Kuei. These cybernetic enhancements and weaponry increase the lethality of said kombatants.
In Mortal Kombat 11, the Cyber Lin Kuei Assembly features many interactables that use Cybernetic Weapons used by the Cyber Lin Kuei, all with different effects;
- A mechanical arm with a large buzzsaw, similar to Cyrax's Sawblades, which can be used when in the corner to the left of the arena, triggering an interactable Krushing Blow.
- The right side of the arena houses three Cyborg Bombs all with different effects;
- Smoke Bomb - Upon contact, wherever the opponent is, they will teleport from their original spot and teleport above the fighter from a smoke cloud, allowing for a brief juggle.
- Cryo Bomb - Upon contact, the opponent freeze in the air where they were originally standing or falling, setting them up for a free hit.
- Cyrax Bomb - Upon contact, the opponent is launched in the air for a juggle.
Guest character RoboCop uses an array of cybernetic weapons due to him being "remade" as a Cyborg. This includes various weapons from his Gunarm which features a Flamethrower, Rocket Launcher and grenade launcher. Additionally, he has a shoulder-mounted launcher that fires a variety of projectiles from grenades, tear gas and spike strips.
