Gameplay

This weapon shoots green projectiles that are capable of shrinking the enemies. It inflicts no damage to them, but if you come close enough to the shrunken enemy, you will automatically stomp it, killing it instantly regardless of its health. You can even sometimes shrink multiple enemies with one lucky blast. If not stomped, shrunken enemy will inevitably turn back to normal after several seconds. Assault Commanders are equiped with a Shrinker, and can use it to shrink you. The Protector Drone is also capable of firing projectiles functionally identical to the Shrinker's, but unlike the Commanders, the drones are immune to the Shrinker and cannot be shrunk. Mechanical and boss enemies are also immune to this weapon.

It is possible to shrink yourself by bouncing the projectile off a mirror and having it hit you. You will be unable to use any weapons, but it will be possible for you to enter small confined spaces (you will die if the shrink effect wears off while you are inside though).

Location

You can find Mini-Shrinker in the Megabase level. It is located in the Med-bay, near the precog brain and a dead EDF soldier.
