Tesla Gun/Merc

(BrightIs) #1

Apologies if already discussed but I think a weapon like a Tesla gun should be given as an ability to a merc, for those of us (maybe just me) with aiming problems in this game.

When the tesla gun fires the static electricity auto hits the enemy on the screen, if they are within a certain distance, and inflicts damage for as long as the left click button is held down and the enemy remains within the area of effect.

If there is more than one enemy within the range, the electricity strikes and attaches to both of them.

The damage done however to each enemy is divided by the number of enemies the tesla connects to at 1 time. So if it is striking 2 enemies at one time then the damage done to each of them is halved, if it is 3 enemies at one time then the damage done to each individual enemy is divided by 3, so on and so forth.

+1 for the lightning pistol, gets my vote because it’s an unique weapon which requires a different handling.

I would discard this, because this could easily lead to annoyance when you try to finish one enemy off and suddenly a second one joins the party and you can’t even kill one.

Correct me if I’m wrong but it seemed to me BrightIs was talking more about an autoaim/lockon type weapon, similar to the TF2 medic gun or Titanfall smart pistol.

Can’t say that I’d like to see either of these sorts of weapons being implemented.

It’s not even a question. We need a flamethrower and the noob tube :smiley:

Not something I was ever any good with in W:ET and haven’t seen it in a multiplayer FPS since to compare against, but in principle no objections, it doesn’t have any autoaim after all.

Also no issues with a lightning gun that Rex and titan were speaking of, just didn’t seem to be what BrightIs was meaning though.
