The only issue I've really had with them, is the overheat. Is it really meant to kill you when they overheat?? I've had it happen twice so far. Fired too long, gun overheats, and the game goes, Conraire has committed suicide.
Reading the flavor text, it says the laser rifle is a jacked-up civilian product, with the power to kill coming from removing the safety devices that keep it from exploding, unlike the other overheating guns (turrets and HMG) which are military weapons with heat dispersal issues.
In other news, I feel it should be stronger than the AR, but I can't say much else. My entire experience with it is as its victim, and a laser rifle doesn't scare me anywhere near as much as a Killswitch. |

i also would love to have a bigger magazine/battery.I was kind of amazed when i reloaded the laser rifle for the first time and the battery was so small.
but the biggest and most important buff the LR should get is giving the AR more recoil and spread at range. Its kind of silly that an AR is just as good as a LR at range while keeping an advantage in CQC.
This. The pulse of a laser shouldn't cause any recoil. It's light for Armok's sake. But the rapid fire of projectiles from the AR should cause recoil, hampering ranged fighting. THAT should be the LR's selling point: having better range than the AR.
Also, being a frikkin' laser beam :D |

Actually, Necro makes a good point. If it just used overheat instead of having a reload, then you could use it as a damn fine Logi gun, something that is sorely needed. The reload function could instead be used to swap focus lenses or load a new one if you overheat and break the current one. Food for thought. |
