DUST Search - [Idea] Amarr heavy weapon: impaler (heavy scrambler)

*Alternate name: crucifier, or longinus (pronounced "lawn-jeh-nus", like longitude)*

[General idea]
Basically a heavy scrambler rifle.

Amarr

Heavy weapon

Semi-automatic

High pinpoint hipfire accuracy

No scope or sight, but can zoom a bit like the HMG

High damage

Medium range

Low rate of fire

Heat buildup and overheat

Laser damage profile (+20% damage against shields, -20% damage against armor)

Decent against vehicles

Perhaps a charge ability, something more interesting than more damage.

[Preliminary stats (standard tier)]

Damage: 190

Rate of fire: 60 rounds per minute (1 per second). If needed could be raised to 90 rounds per minute (1.5 per sec).

Damage per second: 190 (it fires 1 round per second). Could be raised with ROF if needed.

Accuracy rating: 70

Range (optimal/effective): 50/70 meters

Magazine: 20

Reload speed: 6 seconds

Overheat: after 11 consecutive shots (2,090 damage before overheating, enough to kill most heavies)

Feedback damage: 100

Efficacy all against vehicles: 50% (must also factor damage profile)

[Possible charge abilities]:
Someone suggested i should have a charge function. I kind of like the idea, here are some possible charge functions it could have.

Continuous beam: fully charged, it could fire a beam that fires for a full 2 seconds.

Burst fire: When fully charged, three shots are fired in quick succession.

[Possible variants]

Breach: more damage, less fire rate, possibly better damage efficacy percentage against vehicles.

Assault: more ROF, less damage.

Something else: does something.

[Purpose]
A high alpha damage precision marksmen weapon suitable for anti-infantry combat from close to mid-long ranges, and capable dealing similar damage per second as a sniper rifle at close range with hipfire, wile also being semi-effective against vehicles for versatility.
The HMG is a great weapon for dealing with infantry at close range, but it is terrible for precision shots, and also terrible at mid-long ranges. The forge gun has amazing range, but the long charge time makes it not ideal for fighting infantry; the large aiming crosshair makes it not quite a precision weapon either. The impaler (or crucifier, or longinus) would provide heavies with a precision anti-infantry, and mid-long range option they are currently lacking, while also providing them modest anti-vehicle capabilities.
The impaler (or crucifer, or longinus) would allow a heavy to take the role of a good marksmen. he high alpha damage would make it very effective, but the low DPS would keep it from being overpowered.

"Why not just use a scrambler rifle and keep charge shotting?"
That would be a recipe for very quick overheat, and the impaler (or crucifier, or longinus) would do more damage per second. The charge function of the scrambler rifle multiplies damage by 3.5, so a standard fully charged scrambler rifle does 252 damage, but the charge time is 2 seconds, so the damage per second is only 126. The impaler (or crucifier, or longinus) does 190 damage per second at standard tier, and largely exceeds the damage per second of charge shots. Furthermore, the impaler (or crucifier, or longinus) could fire 11 shots before overheating and dealing 2,090 damage, while the scrambler rifle would overheat after just 3 consecutive charge shots dealing only 756 damage.

[Appearance]
A big long Golden Amarr weapon held similarly like the forge gun or HMG with handle is on the side of the weapon. The weapon envelops the hand of the holder. The shots should look like large bright and long bolts of energy (preferably electrical) that appear to impale targets on impact. Basically shoots spears of light.

Anyone else have some enemies they want to impale?

I'm still attached to the Coil Gun though because the Forge Gun isn't that great as an Anti-Personnel weapon. Sure, one hit kills people but it takes too much of an effort to aim for most and the charge up time can put you in a bad predicament. Edit: And also thanks lol, the Laser Cannon doesn't sound as bad as I thought but still prefer your weapon in comparison.

I don't know what infantry combat in 1.8 is going to be like so I can't really speculate how well this would fit but yes while the damage over time, per round, per clip, before the overheat, is great and worthy of a heavy weapon... it takes 11 seconds to do that 2000 damage if you land every hit...by a basic HMG this damage could be done in about 2.5-3 seconds and then keep on going, by a forge gun this damage could be done in like 8 seconds tops and still keep going, literally every gun's dps is higher, and several of them have the same range Double the firing speed and then I'll be interested.

I get your issue with it, but high alpha and high DPS combined together would lead to balance issue. The HMG has really high DPS, but sacrifices a lot of range for it. The impaler concept has very good range compared to the HMG, and very high alpha damage, so I think a DPS tradeoff is fair. I think doubled fire rate would be too much, but I think I would be fine with like 1.5 rounds per second (90 rounds per minute) for 285 DPS if a buff is needed.

zzZaXxx The Exemplars Top Men. 240	Posted - 2014.03.15 09:01:00 - [30] - Quote I think this would be great as an assault variant of a heavy laser cannon. There needs to be one more heavy weapon designed for use against vehicles and which is stronger against shields, complementing the forge gun. It can't be Gallente as their heavy weapon must be mainly for close range. Basically a heavy version of the laser rifle would do the trick. A very long range beam (less range than forge fun) that does more damage as it stays on its target would be very effective against tanks and dropships. It would also be moderately effective against infantry in that it could sweep across whole areas. It would be hard to keep the reticule on infantry, so it wouldn't be OP against them. Heat build up could be adjusted to make sure it's not OP against vehicles. It would melt vehicle shields but wouldn't be able to take down vehicles too fast due to reduced damage to armor and the need to let it cool down. Finally, firing the beam would reduce mobility, similar to when the forge gun is charged. Plus having a constant heavy beam buzzing from a sleek Amarr heavy weapon would be amazing! Having an assault variant that functions more as a pulse laser than a beam would make perfect sense. Reduced potential damage and shorter range would be balanced by increased mobility while engaging and slower heat build up. What do you think?

[Purpose] A high alpha damage precision marksmen weapon suitable for anti-infantry combat from close to mid-long ranges, and capable dealing similar damage per second as a sniper rifle at close range with hipfire, wile also being semi-effective against vehicles for versatility. The HMG is a great weapon for dealing with infantry at close range, but it is terrible for precision shots, and also terrible at mid-long ranges. The forge gun has amazing range, but the long charge time makes it not ideal for fighting infantry; the large aiming crosshair makes it not quite a precision weapon either. The impaler (or crucifier, or longinus) would provide heavies with a precision anti-infantry, and mid-long range option they are currently lacking, while also providing them modest anti-vehicle capabilities. The impaler (or crucifer, or longinus) would allow a heavy to take the role of a good marksmen. he high alpha damage would make it very effective, but the low DPS would keep it from being overpowered. "Why not just use a scrambler rifle and keep charge shotting?" That would be a recipe for very quick overheat, and the impaler (or crucifier, or longinus) would do more damage per second. The charge function of the scrambler rifle multiplies damage by 3.5, so a standard fully charged scrambler rifle does 252 damage, but the charge time is 2 seconds, so the damage per second is only 126. The impaler (or crucifier, or longinus) does 190 damage per second at standard tier, and largely exceeds the damage per second of charge shots. Furthermore, the impaler (or crucifier, or longinus) could fire 11 shots before overheating and dealing 2,090 damage, while the scrambler rifle would overheat after just 3 consecutive charge shots dealing only 756 damage. [Appearance] A big long Golden Amarr weapon held similarly like the forge gun or HMG with handle is on the side of the weapon. The weapon envelops the hand of the holder. The shots should look like large bright and long bolts of energy (preferably electrical) that appear to impale targets on impact. Basically shoots spears of light. Visual inspiration: here, here, here, & here Anyone else have some enemies they want to impale? i would totally switch to heavy for this If u have an issue with scouts deal with it we just have more skill than u

Either way I just want more heavy weapons! admitting you are being illogical doesn't validate your point. It shows you know you are being dumb and keep talking
