EDIT: I spawned a new page. ARGH!

Photonic Shotgun.Going to rename it, just not sure what yet. Blast Cannon would be an obvious choice, but it's taken.

It's a helluva flashlight that I'd still keep by MY bed when the burglars come!NeuralStunner wrote:AKA flashlight.Project Dark Fox wrote:Photonic Shotgun.
Sounds awfully Star Trekkie. Besides, the new behavior doesn't suit the shotgun motif anymore.Project Dark Fox wrote:Photonic Shotgun.
Shamelessly ripped from the late MMORPG Richard Garriot's Tabula Rasa, actually (as it was literally a laser-based shotgun that used energy cells), but I guess I missed the memo on its behavior changing.LilWhiteMouse wrote:Sounds awfully Star Trekkie.
LilWhiteMouse wrote:Doubled the range of the Scatterblaster (again?) to make it more effective. It's to compensate for the lack of a "powerful" weapon. Might tweak it's behavior even more, not sure yet. My idea is have it as a charged weapon. The longer you hold the fire button, the more focused the blast will be. Just tap the trigger, and it fires in a wider shotgun burst. Hold it down long enough, and it fires a concentrated shot. Opinions?
[EDIT2]
Gave the Scatterblaster unlimited range like the other weapons. Went with the charge behavior, and a wider spread when you just tap the trigger. Most of the time, you can pick off turbo laser turrets at range with a single fully charged shot.
