Large Animated Neon Sign

The top of the neon line: a big panel with frames that play in turn. Five high quality metal and a Level 2 bench make it the priciest way to light a shop.

Overview

In-game description

A large, animated neon sign!

Go for this one when a shop or a clan wall should grab attention from far away, not just be readable. You paint several frames on the big panel and it cycles through them, so a name can flash, an arrow can sweep, a price can blink on and off. Like every neon sign, it shows nothing until power reaches it.

Next to the rest of the line it is the expensive end:

Sign	Bench	Cost
Small	1	150 fragments
Medium	1	200 fragments
Medium animated	2	300 fragments, 2 HQM
Large	1	250 fragments
Large animated	2	350 fragments, 5 HQM

So the animation on the big panel costs a hundred extra fragments, five high quality metal and the bench upgrade. Picture a crafting base on the road to a monument, selling guns through a vending machine. A big OPEN blinking after dark pulls in buyers a painted board never would. If your shop is quiet anyway, the still large sign saves the HQM.

Direct hit, hard side, no duds. Satchel Charge is a dud 20% of the time. Beancan Grenade is a dud 15% of the time. A range runs from point blank to the far end of the bullet's falloff, fired from an Assault Rifle.
