focus riffle (give opinions and thoughts please)
This is a weapon i deai had for a while.
Weapon type: sniper
Amount of ammo: recharging
Firing mode 1: the way the weapon works is that it fires a beam for 2,5 seconds that does medium levels of damage before firing a singular explosive shot that does heavy damage. The idea behind this weapon is that if you want to cause maxime damage, you have to keep a steady aim on the enemy mech. (to get a rough example of how damage would be, a level 1, star 1 version of this weapon requiring 8 energy, would have its beam do just as much damage as a singular shot from a 8 energy star 1 level 1 longarm, whilst the shot that comes afterwards would be twice that damage)
Firing mode 2: you can also hold the trigger to fire a shield piercing shot that does 2 times the damage of the main weapon alongside adding a emp effect that makes the player unable to use their ability and weapons for 3 seconds, but this comes at the cost of a 12 second reload that can't be reduced.
Role: the idea is to have a weapon that rewards you for your steady aim and quick thinking, forcing you to pick your targets better whilst also making you think when it could be usefull to use its secondary firing mode.
