New item: Laser Pistol

<< < (2/2)

ZZ:
And the shoot from it should have an autohit. You aim and fire with a burst of light, closing enemy with the speed of 3*10^8 m/s. Who can dodge it?

Frankosity:
That's a ridiculously overpowered idea for a non-unique.

I think a high accuracy rating would be appropriate, though, due to the surgical precision of the weapon and low recoil, so +5 or 6 would be good. This would render the aimed shot function of the normal pistol uneccessary in my mind, so maybe the alt-fire could be an overcharge-style shot that rapid-fires the entire clip, but with much lower accuracy.

X-Heiko:
An idea for the overcharge would be a laser cut. Instead of a laser pulse, a continuous beam is shot which you can use to "cut" through enemies. The higher the cut angle, the less damage per target. It should have a higher "ammo used"-to-"damage dealt" ratio than a normal shot.

IF you aim correctly. I don't think you can actually dodge pistol shots either, so that effect wouldn't... in a logical... this is only a game... ah, screw this, you know what I mean XD

An idea for a derived unique would be a prototype laser SMG. Since the weapon does not produce actual recoil, high-precision autofire is possible. Essentially, this would be an accurate plasma gun with (far?) less damage and no chainshot function.

I'm not sure about the mechanics of this, but another idea it engenders is a 'focused' shot which pierces through multiple enemies but uses multiple units of ammo, similiar to the Railgun but less damaging.

I don't know if that would really be powerful enough to be worth making into a unique, and it sounds too similiar to the Plasma Rifle to be really interesting as an exotic weapon.
