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).

  5. Well im getting OBC soon and to me its gonna be cheap gear :P. But hey its still gonna cost robux! so i might not buy it cause im a cheapy head xD :P

  6. I don`t have it but the Gravity coil is awsome same with gravity gun but my friends likes it and he uses it on me. (It gets annoying -_-)

  8. It’s funny that the gravity hammer is one of the most Popular Items, Since it has such a vital flaw that makes it useless.

  9. I got Katna Gravity Hammer And the Gravity Coil I used to have zombie staff before my acc got hacked and got most of my gear deleted -_-

  10. The coil is really fun. You get to jump higher. And it’s more lighter. YOU ARE RIGHT! Its fun because you get to go really high and land more slower. Its the most favorite gear.

  11. They should make this poptart that when you eat it… your body turns into a poptart (exept the head, arms, and legs)and you do what a nyan cat does!!!

  17. Its Just AWSOME gear but i need roblox to ask you something… Plzz Make a Gear like this http://www.roblox.com/commando-item?id=44892137

    if you want i just want it in my gear i wud advice that you but it on 50 or 100 bux plzzz its my Wish on Roblox complete the wish for me Roblox!!! =D plzz

    Youre Dear,
    DukiDj

    P.S i like guns

  21. i don’t care what everyone else thinks about the coil i like the grapple the best enough said…

    • Why does everything need to be Robux? I can’t get BC because my parents think it is too expensive. I have to save like 500000 tix to convert to robux to get a few things! They should let non BC to get some Robux too! It’s not fair to anyone because all the good hair ad hats and clothes and suff cost either like 4000000000000000000000000 tix or like 4,000 robux! Please let normal users have a regular roblox income and BC just get ike 50 robux a day?

  29. Why isn’t the remote mine in here? It can be extremely powerful in the right hands.

  31. I tend to not buy gear. Almost every place has no gear allowed, so really, all that gear is, is for looks only. Unless you find or make your own game that allows gear.

  32. Coil is awesome that zombie are little damage I need big damage that is way to get coil man!

  34. Soooo what about the update for the person change in game update I been waiting that for a long time…

    • The update has already occurred…. You just need to reset after changing clothes! ;D

      • No. There was a promised update that you could change your character in game, where you don’t have to reset and you could do it from your backpack. That update hasn’t occured yet.

    • I.k there are a lot but i try to by them once in a while but there are some out there that costs like 15 R.$ and i try to by those…But if they lower the price on the gear and put some in as tix to (which they’ll never do)But if they do more people will defiantly buy them!

    • I know expecally the limited, those guys who sell the items back for a high price even though they are bc or higher, man those guys are poor

      • I usually sell for higher than the lowest price since most people buy the lowest price and mine will be lowest at one point! ^.^

  42. all these gears are good.send me a friend request on roblox i always exept friend requests

  44. All those are nice, especially the Disruptor. Though there are many smaller gears that are twice as good.

  45. If you get lifted by one, just hold space and you wont get flung. Hammer sucks

  49. I can pwn people using the grav coil at Catalog Heaven with my deadly claws.

    Not even another person with the same weapon can kill me.

    Thats why they call me Fighter of the year.

    The only people that can kill me are those Nuclear arm noobs

  59. The most useful gear to me is a gear a bought awhile ago for 1000 robux but it’s off sale now but it’s the perfect gear because

    1.it goes through walls
    2.it almost always 1-hit KOs the opponent
    3.its a ranged weapon
    4.it looks awesome! A wood built cannon with 3 icicle spears
    5.you can hide and blast

  64. these gears are soo cool including the black hole gun is soo cool especially you aim at your own enemies in rl nor roblox
