This is very similar to an idea I had; basically the same area-denial effect of high-intensity y-ray bursts, except as a grenade-like weapon instead of a handheld weapon. Deploys when it stops bouncing, fires frequent 360-degree pulses within 10-15m for anywhere from 20-30 seconds. People staying in the area take mild damage with every pulse, which are more effective against shields, and create a huge environmental hazard not to mention putting you at a serious disadvantage in a firefight.
Eventually, when the game gets to where it needs to be in terms of core mechanics and overall variety of gear, and they start intriducing weapon customization, I'm sure we'll see variant focusing crystals for laser weapons, including UV and y-Ray crystals like in EVE.

And personally, from its description, i think the current (plasma) shotgun should fire a cone of plasma, rather than a bunch of individual bolts. |

Rays wouldn't have pulses. They are able to pass through shields and armor and with enough exposure, you can mutate them to death.
Rethink this.
Uhh, well, x-rays and gamma rays are just highly energetic and short-wavelength light.
If a piece of technology is able to create these, then it could logically turn on and off to create pulses of them.
They do not pass through everything unhindered, and regarding shields: they're fictional, so you can't say how the gamma rays would work against them.
Who is to say the armour could not absorb some of that energy? I'm sure the mercs aren't covered in tinfoil.
Finally, have you even SEEN a radiation burn? Leave the mutation sentiment to comic books, and go look up what intense radiation does to flesh. |
