A Look Under the Hood at 10 Popular ROBLOX Catalog Items

By -

10 of the Most Popular ROBLOX ItemsThe ROBLOX Catalog features a vast array of items. Some exist to make you look really, really good; others for the sake of helping you outsmart, outmaneuver and overpower your opponents. Of course, with so much gear to browse, it can be tough to find a good point of entry. We’ve compiled two lists, comprising 10 of the most popular items in the Catalog, with some details into the underlying code that powers them.

5 of the most popular ROBLOX weapons

Name Damage Price (Robux)
Zombie Staff 20 per zombie touch (summons 5 zombies) 1000
Sheriff Steve’s Six Shooter 25 per shot 600
Super-G LS33 Disruptor 30 per shot 800
Katana 8-12 per slash 250
Black Hole Bomb 15 per hit 550

Inside look: Black Hole Bomb

Black Hole BombThe Black Hole Bomb is a unique piece of gear that, upon detonation, pulls all objects in a radius toward it. It does so by applying a BodyPosition object to all parts within a radius of 50 studs, then removes its forces after 10 seconds. For more information, please take a look at the source code for the Black Hole Bomb (click to enlarge).

5 of the most popular ROBLOX items

Name Features Price (Robux)
Gravity Coil Reduces gravity by 75% and allows character to jump extra high 250
Gravity Gun Causes your opponents to float for 16 seconds – making them easy targets for an attack 250
Grapple Hook Allows for fast movement to any location less than 200 studs away – makes for quick climbing 705
Gravitational Radiation Hammer v0.01 Sends a shockwave blowing away any unanchored things (players or objects) within 30 studs 600
Transmorph Ray Gun Morphs opponents into a random object 850

Inside look: Gravity Coil

Gravity CoilThe Gravity coil allows the player to reduce the amount of gravitational pull exerted on him or her, thereby allowing much higher jumps. We used a recursive function that computes the total mass of a given assembly of parts (in this case a character) and made it 75% lighter by applying an equivalent BodyForce to the assembly. By changing the gravity parameter you can change how light/heavy your character is. For more information, check out this code snippet for the Gravity Coil (click to enlarge).

  1. = = im not complaining. but you should give priority to NBC/new players Here. You always make priority to BC. BC game. BC item.

  2. I really think roblox should lower the price of gear for two reasons.

    1. Everyone likes it just no one can afford it.

    2. You cant even use any of it in any places so its practically like you dont even own it…

  5. I ONLY collect limited items on this account, but before i got it, i had one with all of the gear listed. All i can say is that some of the gear here can be replaced with better ones, doing almost exactly the same thing. -prinny

  8. since these items are so popular can you put them on a discount price? like in the ticket zone? no robux?

  10. I only have 0 robux and 3 tix but you win tix by winning games but then i found a free items button and then i clicked on free gear but no free gear :(

    • You dont win tix by winning games.
      You get 10 a day for logging on.
      Then you get one for every place visit you get.

      • exactly, and all gear (well most gears) are priced by money just to letcha know

  16. All of these are awesome gears!
    But personally, I’d prefer the Gravity Gun, so I can take out my enemy easily ;)

  17. Yo i waste guys with the black hole bomb so guys can’t get ner me HAHAHAHAHHAHAH

  28. I got three of the gears, one is grapple gun, then gravity coil, and then the gravity gun! :D

  32. So what i got gravity coil AND black hole bomb! and it’s the 2 most popular gears ‘-’
