Here we go, I've got a slightly less crappy alternative. The weapon (which would have to be an energy weapon for this to make sense) would take a mandatory 1 second to charge up before the shot (or beam) is released. And while charging, it starts to shake so violently that your view starts vibrating, much like the chaingun. Doesn't affect the accuracy at all, just makes it much harder to aim well, or to get a perfect shot you need to line it up BEFORE you start charging. Does around 120 damage a shot (it's an s3 weapon, it should at least kill dretches and basis in 1hit), giving it 60 damage per second (1 second to charge, 1 second cooldown) compared to the MD's 38. I'm picking 60dps because it fits nicely between the prifle and chaingun, which both have their own drawbacks to compensate for the high damage (slow shots / innacurate, respectively)
this imo would be a camping weapon again
if you went to attack....
shoots adv goon, oh shit 2 seconds til i can fire again, omg dretch pwned
goons will just take the hit and kill you in the two seconds unless your able to dodge, while probably being attacked by dretches maras and basis
also, tyrants would just pwn you, and as i said before, you can just chase them with a chaingun instead
would only work for uber l337 players and even then , they would just be dodge half the time un able to hit the dretches etc
just my opinion tho
stop flaming the guy
