Vaskadar Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Well, since we have a weapon with drawback/charge time for increased power *cough*Paris*cough*, why not a Corpus sidearm to match? A small-scale pulse weapon that fires off one powerful charged shot. Yes, it's cliche as all hell, but man, if it's strong, it'll be a lot of fun to use. The regular shots wouldn't be all that powerful, but the charged shot would have a greater drain on the power cell or magazine or whatever you want to call it. The catch is: you cannot hold the charge. As a Corpus weapon, it would deal additional damage to shielding. Proposed weapon stats Base Damage: 30 Charge Damage: 100 (compensate for additional ammo use and charge time) Charge Time: 0.7s Charge Usage: 2 power units Fire Rate: 3.5 Magazine Size: 12 Edited September 16, 2013 by Vaskadar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolluxCaptorTA Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Make it a bit stronger, at least 70. SO it can equal the side arm sniper, the Lex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iraetus Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Does this also have armor ignore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaskadar Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) Nope. No armor ignore. We've got enough of those already. Plus, I'd imagine its projectile to be like those that the Corpus crewmen fire from their pulse rifles. Don't think that's very capable of punching through armor. This weapon would have a unique place in the game because of its multi-function capabilities. Edited April 7, 2013 by Vaskadar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaskadar Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Any other thoughts on it? I was thinking it could potentially do more damage to shields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 I like the idea of a shield bursting weapon. Aside from frost damage, do any guns/swords do that yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaskadar Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Not that I know of! I think it'd be a great addition to the game's arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 can we turn it into a arm cannon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaskadar Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 That'd be pretty funny, but I doubt Capcom would be okay with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iymarra Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I am 100% behind this request. Now we just need enough people to +1 it, and hopefully get DE interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunarWind Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I want to give you tons of feedback, but ... This is already great. The only change I can thinkg of would be projectile speed. Perhaps un-charged is a very fast projectile, faster than Bolto/Boltor but not hit-scan. Make charged shot the same speed as un-charged Paris arrow, maybe even a bit slower. If not those changes, certainly something speed related for projectiles. Also, inb4 Halo plasma pistol copypasta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTG3000 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 ...or any charge weapon before or after... (personally I would like a quake blaster in this game, but alas) Are there any actual hitscan veapons here, anyway? They all seem to have proper tracers...

LunarWind Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Are there any actual hitscan veapons here, anyway? They all seem to have proper tracers... You know, I'm note entirely sure. Firing the Lex at insane distances on the Corpus outpost, I think it's hit-scan for most bullets. I swear I've been seeing damage numbers pop-up before the tracer hits them. Could be an artifact of optical degredation on my part, I suppose. Anyone else going to weigh in on Charge Pistol / hit-scan projectiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I'm pretty sure the bullets are hitscan too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaskadar Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 I know Snipetron and Lex are hitscan. The other weapons aren't, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaskadar Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 I think the charge pistol shouldn't have hit-scan projectiles, but instead be a powered up energy bolt, having a similar visual effect to the corpus rifles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTG3000 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Indeed, we get grineer weapons, but I guess everyone wants corpus plasguns already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
