High Fidelity is a weapon featured in Sunset Overdrive. It is the second weapon the Player receives over the course of the entire game.
Details
The High Fidelity launches vinyl records at high velocity, with a fire rate like most assault rifles, with the long-medium range. These tapes has the potential to ricochet, and hit multiple enemies.
Appearance
The weapon appears to be a motorized crossbow, modified to take vinyl records as ammunition instead instead of bolts. The front launching mechanism and the record holder "magazine" appear to be made of two flexible parts, as the player is oftentimes seen moving the barrel about with no audible cracking or breaking to the gun.

OverCharge Drinkers
Against standard OD, the High Fidelity is an excellent, if very specialized, weapon. The high rate of fire and range is excellent for shooting while moving about with little care for aim, and the bounce effect is great for destroying several OD at once and causing general chaos within the chaos. With their naturally small health pools, the low damage per disc is not an issue.
Special OD, Scabs, Fizzco Bots, Turrets
Do not use the High Fidelity. Use something else, like the Dirty Harry. Though it is a fast-firing weapon, each disc has very little damage on its own, and the bounce effect is lost on enemies that do not cluster tightly together, something only the standard OD are capable of.
