Thread: Rifleman's New Beserker Rifle Does Heat Damage...Not Blast...
- We commandos might not be so adverse to other ranged professions getting a blast damage type weapon IF, and only IF, we were to get a new weapon with AP, speed and accuracy skills for itand ranged specials.
- With all the new weapons springing up lately being added to various professions (Pistoleer, Carbineer, Rifleman, etc) we could use a new RANGED weapon with ranged specials and speed/accuracy mods (can you see a central theme I'm pushing...lol)
Wew! thanks for the info garvin
and yeah..dont be subtle in demanding an assault rifle weapon or repeater..bonk the devs a few and tell em 
Good to hear.
It's gotta be hard to fit in a weapon that's good enough to use but isn't going to make every other profession yell "nerf". When some noob sees us burn mid level mobs they get the idea we're overpowered. I think if we want anything new we're going to need to come up with the idea for it here. I doubt we're looked at as a profession that needs "more".

You're confusing the hell outta me here garvin...
ACK...major typo...thanks for pointing that out...it is MOST DEFINITELY Heat damage...not Blast...That is the one thing I am 100% sure of since it came straight from one of the programmers...
Garvin,
you guys should ask for soemthing akin to a Boys ATR
im not sure how many of you know history and weaponry but this is what a boys ATR was:
Boys ATR was an Anti-Tank Rifle used mostly in WWII (in fact it is still commonly used int he 3rd world today). It is an extremely long-barreled and powerful rifle that was able to penetrate thin-skinned armor (definately couldnt pierce German tanks...but it worked wonders on Japanese tanks and i believe the Stuarts the americans had, not sure on the Shermans)
It could be fired by 1 man from prone using a bipod to stabilize the long front end. Froma lla ccounts I have seen it was very accurate.
I think this would be a good Commando weapon along the lines of a blast damage type ranged weapon. It would be unique in that, possibly, a commando would have to be prone to use it...or at least kneeling.....that may nto sound good to you guys, but if you were handed a heavily damaging, blast, accurate weapon that you could runa roudn with there would be no ends to the complaining from riflemen and others about it.
SO while maybe u have to be prone or kneelign to use it and it would have a slow rate of fire....the upshot is it would have an AP blast damage...and have extremely high accuracy MODs (it is after all a long-barrled rifle).
