North Star is a rapid succession bullet firing gun in Steamlands. The North Star shares several similarities with the Woodpecker gun, including firing a long line of bullets and having a similar appearance to the Woodpecker.

Appearance

The North Star has a sloped up base which has a brown edge of a circle going around the base, and two dials and bolts directly on the base. As with most guns, the red light connects the barrel of the gun to the base.

The gun itself, like the Woodpecker gun, is a constantly rotating Gatling-style machine gun, except the North Star's barrel is longer than the Woodpecker's and has three bands around the barrel instead of one for the Woodpecker.

Game Information

The North Star without any upgrades fires faster than the Woodpecker without upgrades, the North Star will also adjust its aim so it is always aiming at the block is was commanded to be aimed at.

Because of the North Star's large base, it takes up 3 blocks instead of the usual 2. The North Star starts off at 450 health points and can be upgraded to 495 health points. The North Star is an upgraded version of the Woodpecker.
