Trivia

• Like the Ramram, these ARMS can be angled during a Rush attack.
• In an earlier build of the game it had a much different design, the grey chain pattern that covered two of the three fin-like protrusions was more visible.
• The name comes from the Sanskrit word for "wheel"/"disk"/"circle".
• The Chakram is internally labelled as 'Wpn_Chakram', with its Japanese dev-internal name listed as 'チャクラム' (translation: 'Chakram').
