Changes: Eridian Rifle

Revision as of 19:32, 4 May 2011

The Eridian Rifle is the Eridian equivalent of a semi-automatic combat rifle. As with the other Eridian weapons, it technically has an unlimited amount of ammo, but a limited number of continuous shots.

Examples can be found on the talk page.

Special Effects

"Full of electric death" - An Eridian Rifle fires balls of electric energy that deal powerful shock damage. Projectiles will riccochet off surfaces if they do not hit an enemy.

Usage & Description

The Rifle, like the Eridian Thunder Storm and the Eridian Lightning, deals extremely powerful elemental damage that can electrocute targets in just a few shots. Even though Shock damage is weak against flesh, the Rifle works well against unshielded enemies. The drawback to the Rifle, like many Eridian weapons, is it has a small "magazine". This drawback limits its effectiveness in heavy combat situations. Having two Eridian weapons equiped at the same time can offset this drawback slightly. This can give one weapon time to recharge while the other is being fired.

The Rifle has virtually no recoil, so the gun can be fired rapidly without having to compensate for recoil throwing off accuracy. As with other Eridian weapons, the character moves slightly slower with this gun in hand.

Variations

So far, all variants seem to have the same accuracy (91.7%) and fire rate (2.0). The damage depends on the level requirement and the body type of the gun. As with all Eridian weapons, the type of magazine determines how many shots can be fired on a full charge and how quickly the gun's reserve replenishes itself. Eridian Rifles seem to use 7 units of magazine energy per shot, giving them a total capacity of 12 to 29 shots when fully charged.

Base level requirement	Damage
Base level requirement	Body type 1	Other body types
48		219
57		269
59		280
66		321

Notes

The character moves the same speed as normal walking speed, unlike with other Eridian weapons.
