My weapon idea: (it's a legendary sniper weapon)
Weapon name: E.C.G (electrical current gun)
EN: 8, 12, and 16 variants
Special attributes: Piercing shots+DOT trail and direct DOT cloud, also applies the electric effect.
Magazine: 1
Reload time: 6.5 seconds
Weapon firing delay: 0.3 seconds
Direct damage: about half of an EM rifle
Damage falloff: none
DOT trail damage: about as much as gatecrashers beam DOT
DOT trail width: about 10 meters wide (hitbox is a cylindrical cone on its side)
DOT trail duration: 4.5 seconds
Direct DOT cloud damage: Double that of Redox’s caustic blast
Direct DOT cloud duration: 3.5 seconds
Weapon Description:
The E.C.G. is a weapon that fires a powerful hit-scan shot after a brief delay similar to the EM rifle. The shot is able to pierce through an infinite amount of targets, but cannot be fired through walls. It leaves behind a large electrical trail that does damage over time and applies the electrical effect. This trail follows the bullet, so if it gets shot into a wall, the trail will not go through it. The mech that is directly hit by the shot will have an additional DOT cloud applied to it, (this does not apply to mechs hit due to piercing, the additional DOT will only affect 1 mech at a time to balance it). This cloud follows the mech and cannot be removed by any means (eclipse is not immune to it, and Guardian cannot cleanse it). The overall single-target damage potential of this weapon will not be too high and is overall focused on being a form of crowd control
