Re-Invent The Spectra

[Arlayn]

Change how the spectra works. I was working on a thread in GD to properly brainstorm this one and finally came up with how it should come out working. As it is its a copy of Flux and FAR weaker then any weapon in the game leaving even me on Mercury to stand there pointing lasers in level 1 grineer's eyes all day. So I came with an idea to make it like Bronco.

 

I know it would have been a rip off but if its used for labor why doesn't it just literally slice off limbs at close range... like have it so you have to get as close as 2x the length of a melee weapon and then it shoots off this slicing burst that cuts enemies in two similar to plasma cutter(but more like a shotgun) in Dead Space but requires you get up close instead of being able to shoot it at long ranges. Now that would make it an interesting tool... Instead of laser pointer mode... Its like a laser jackhammer lol... but scarier. Basically... turn it into a laser bronco. Instead of a laser pointer fail.

 

Edit: also keep the 210 ammo even if it is like a laser bronco it would need a lot of ammo to break through rock, or metal.

Are you sure? because i lv up mineat lv 13 very fast, then i put a catalist and is a great weapon, perfect for lv 60+ monsters.

basically it requires too much work before it gets awesome.

it is one of the best secondary weapons just needs too much time before it gets there.

At the very least, could we have the laser beam change color when we change energy color? Unless it already does that and red just looks like orange on it (Since I use red for energy).

I like the current one, but I feel it needs; 2x damage (160/s) and probably lower ammo consumption, and it would be a nice pocket flux. As it stands its too ammo hungry for the damage it provides.

I would prefer it to stay weak but have far, far better ammo efficiency. It would make it more different to the Flux Rifle. But that's just me.

More or less what I've been suggesting since I saw the stats on it..  300 Serrated Blade DPS with a short range.
