BC Media: NEW WEAPON PROOF-OF-CONCEPT – Precision Rifle

[Kylo-Hen]

I’m usually pretty terrible at estimating the balance of something, but I can say that it’s conceptually quite cool.

Although:

a fan-requested weapon actually made it into an official game

If you’re talking about the AB it’s not strictly fan-requested. Nobody got an idea medal for it, and iA has mentioned adding a piercing sniper beam weapon for a while now:

Early Access version 06

@cook1ee: The laser won’t change at this stage – we first want to introduce a new sniper-style instant-hit piercing weapon so we can balance both at the same time. We’ll increase the expander limit to 10 and see (condenser limit will still remain at 5). @Sammarald: The invulnerability was added as a quick hack to stop if from getting destroyed while on the ‘wrong’ side of the screen, but a more elegant solution is needed. Will need to think about this some more…
