[Idea] THE Arch-Gun: Rocket Launcher!

[daktfi]

Well, given the wide variety of guns we have down here and real few to fire up there...

1. Quite small magazine, like 10 to 20 rounds.
2. Very short recharge delay, under half a second.
3. Quite low recharge speed, like 10 rounds/second. Maybe lower (full magazine in 2-3 seconds at least).
4. Primary fire: fires all rounds in magazine as swarm of fast-moving dumb rockets. Rockets disperse to some fixed radius, then fly parallel.
5. Alt fire: all rounds in magazine are launched as single slow heavy homing missile.

Yup, either way you just unload entirety of the magazine and has to wait for it to replenish, and the longer you wait - the harder you hit next time!

Primary fire - probably low damage per rocket, average status change, weak crit. Fly in ordered pattern like from Angstrum. Probably Impact and Puncture with a bit of Slash/Blast.

Alt fire - of course, damage scales with number of rounds used. Probably still average status chance, but stronger crit. Flying speed just enough to catch up with any enemy in a few seconds, and about 5-10 seconds time to live. POSSIBLY: scale damage down for the flight duration. Homes on closest target to the reticle at the moment of launch. OR needs a short charge to lock-on (under half a second). Strong Impact/Puncture and AoE Blast/Puncture diminishing with range.

Can't say it'll be a strong weapon (well, that depends on exact stats if realized), but definitely a weapon I'd like to try.
