Trivia

 * This item was added in Update 10.
 * This item is built in the Clan Dojo.
 * The tendrils at the front end of the Synapse move, suggesting the weapon is a living organism.
 * A synapse is a nervous system structure that acts as a 'gate' between neurons, allowing electrical signals to be passed between nerve cells. Synapses help form the electrical pathways of the nervous system.
 * Thus, Synapse's name is probably derived from this fact, as it is a biochemical electrical weapon.
 * Bug: when a Client (not Hosting) the Point Strike and Vital Sense mods may not have any effect, leaving you with diminished critical chance and damage.
 * Seems to be made from the Crawler as it has similar lighting attacks.
