'Toxin' Assault Rifle - A modified version of the widely adopted Federation weapon, the Toxin is a fully-automatic rifle adapted to fire doped plasma slugs. A questionable design that many would agree offers little benefit beyond increasing a victimGÇÖs discomfort as contaminants spread through the system, liquefying internal organs and disrupting nanite helixes in the bloodstream, causing the subunits to go haywire and attack the body theyGÇÖre designed to sustain.
Plasma Cannon - The plasma cannon is a single-shot, direct-fire weapon developed by Allotek Industries primarily for use in urban operations and confined space combat. The dense plasma discharge it generates is highly unstable, decaying rapidly and venting sufficient heat and energy to severely damage targets caught within its critical emission radius.
During the short pre-fire charge, ultracold plasma is prepared and then heated inside a magneto-core trap. Just prior to discharge, a small precursor projectile is fired that produces (and is ultimately consumed by) a short-lived trail that helps guide and contain the volatile discharge as it travels towards its target.
Scrambler Rifle - The scrambler rifle is a selective-fire weapon capable of semi-automatic and charged fire. Each shot produces a pulse of sinuous energy capable of penetrating shield and metal. By keeping pressure on the trigger, the operator can control the power of each discharge, scaling it to produce an intense pulse of energy fatal to soft targets.
The added power output does come with downsides, most notably increased heat build-up; left unmanaged, thermal stresses age the focusing crystal prematurely, resulting in splintering and potentially lethal feedback. Despite this and several other issues GÇô increased heft, poor reliability, and high manufacturing cost GÇô the scrambler rifle is widely available and in service on battlefields clusterwide.
Flaylock Pistol - The flaylock is a snub-nosed pistol designed to fire one-inch direct attack missiles. Typically, the weapon is armed with pack-loaded dumbfire or seeker missiles effective against infantry and armored targets, but is fully compatible with a broad range of missile types, making it one of the most versatile sidearm weapons on the battlefield.
Seeker missiles utilize pre-launch lock-on and rudimentary self-guidance to track designated targets, though finite propellant limits the practical engagement zone to short ranges. Although less effective against shielded targets, the tandem warhead allows penetration of armor layers before detonation, amplifying the effectiveness of the narrow fragment stream and maximizing each projectileGÇÖs lethality.

The Toxin is pretty damn good for a BPO so let's hope the toxin rifle isnt exceptionally good |

the toxin is nothing special, it is as good as the regular standard level SMG. you exchange real life money for the ability to save ~1k isk when you die.
and we also have a bpo AR already, the exile one.

Considering that the Plasma Cannon is a single shot weapon with a charge up timer... It better do a LOT of damage. |

'Exile' is limited edition though, to my knowledge. 'Toxin' being included with the Mercenary Pack as well as the 'Dragonfly' Assault Suit, it's going to be available for those who haven't gotten an 'Exile' yet. |

The flaylock sounds pretty cool. Cant wait for people to cry about it, because from the description, it sounds like its basically mini homing swarms.... but for Heavies. Im glad i went with Assault suit :)
Scrambler Rifle should be breddy gud too. Two modes of fire, only thing that could be a concern is its range. |

You do not need to deploy to use it so it's more like RPG - only difference is that is shooting plasma and some prep time.

The role of plasma cannon seems to me like a short range AV comboed with AV grenades: "plasma-nade-nade-boom". If it has good splash anti-infantry, I could see it function as opener for scrambler pistol, too. |

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Yes it does a decent amount. but the travel time and arc is a bit ridiculous for a weapon that resembles and functions in a similar way to a rocket launcher. |

Anyone else crying in agony after realising that this was a PS2 bomber bump?
