Saw a screenshot of this thing in crafting tool, and yes, it does always have the stock/scope visible. This is the only weapon in the game that will display a stock/scope to other players.


Screenshots at http://www.swgalerie.fr.st(also the new fwg5/republic blaster schematics)


No one's actually made it yet because the TC weaponsmiths are missing resources and/or the four identical power cubes required.



POKEY THE PENGUIN SIG REMOVED BY GARVA BECAUSE "Just because you are crafty enough to get around the technicality of it being a .jpg or .gif does not mean it is not an image, it is not ascii art, it is an image" SO HERE IS MY NEW SIG.

disruptor rifles are the most feared weapons in the galaxy. I hope it doesnt end up being "decent"


Anyways it will be contraband, so its gonna be something imperials wont be able to use

No that was the Disruptor rifle.

This is different.






Actually -- Youre wrong Tenloss DXR-6 is a Rifle. A Disruptor rifle. The "Carbine" we have on SWG is actually the Rifle variant too. Its the D6 or D20 version. Its a rifle, same stats all that, just different smaller more compact appearance. They must have looked at the appearance and said "Carbine" -- it's actualyl been a joke for me for al ong time becaues the R stands for "Rifle" lol. If anything they should have saved face and called it a DX-6 Carbine. And then named this thing the DXR-6 Rifle. This rifle actually does not look like any "canon" image of the DXR-6. Jedi Outcasts DXR-6 would probably be a more accurate portrayal as well as SWG's. But this is a much BETTEr lookingr ifle and they better name it the DXR-6 Disruptor Rifle.


It should actually have the same stats as a T-21. (Slow, powerful.) And the T-21 should be much faster. T-21 was actually a Light Repeater Rifle. Meaning it actually fired pretty fast. It wasnt OFTEN used for Sniping. It was more of an anti-armor thing, but was also a grunts weapon. (Usually Assault Stormtroopers had them)


Anyways. I'm sorry I'm ranting but I've been wanting this thing for a LONG LONG time. I hope they did a good job with it for once and remove the DXR-6 from the CArbineer line or at least rename it to DX-6.


Good job Devs as long as the stats turn out well!


It should definitely have high minimum and high maximum, and be quite slow. Disruptors would hurt like hell at any setting. They are very illegal too

AT-AT=vuln. to Restaint. How many guns even DO that kind of damage?!? One? Zero?I'd say this new rifle isthe perfect candidate to be a Restraint damage weapon. I'd forgive the Spraystick bug and the uselessness of the SG82 in a heartbeat for something like that

IMO this new rifle should be stun damage, I know there's already a stun rifle, but this is shooting soundwaves, one would think that it would have a stunning effect. Also the new pistol that's firing animation is almost identical to the one from the rifle's screenshot has been crafted, and it is a stun damage pistol. So I'd expect this to be stun too.

Restraint is probably something left over from beta that was never removed. As far as I know, restraint resists do nothing and there is no creature or weapon in the game that does restraint damage.

Holy S--t!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


Xytroncore with some posts that aint "You guys are uber and don't need a new rifle."


I may retract my hunt for you if you keepposting these these types of posts


I wonder if the power cubes can be placed in other Schematics, like the Night Sister Vibro thingy, or can they only be used in this rifle?


Oh well, whatever,looks like SOE is added new thingys to build and shoot, fun!

I noticed him playing nice as well and very much like the change


As far as those power cubes go, Ithink that they are only used in the new rifle, pistol, and scythe blade all of which have their schematics drop in the new Geonosian dungeon. Though itwouldbe nice to be able to switch them out for potentially better components.


And I really really really want it to be something other than Stun unless it'll be a cross between a Jawa and T-21. Though I have no problems with Jawas as they are, I doubtnon Riflemen want us to have better Stun weapons
