So uh its been a bit hasn't it, But i'm back with the late night crazies!
So here's something that's more than likely broken as all hell.

So i was playing battle tech DUN DUN DUNNNNN yeah i had to try it, It was fun!
And the vamp beam stuck with me, And at good old 2AM i had an idea, A mech built around a lightning gun!

This lightning gun would work like a tech's vamp beam with less tracking, however if you are hitting an enemy 
it will jump to any other nearby enemies losing 50% of its DPS PER MECH making it helpful for taking on death balls 
name could be TE-5L4 (or something like that)

As for the mech class/stats: IDK LOL

Main weapons : Vulcan? Flak? Mini Flak? ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

TE-5L4 (lightning gun) DPS: 25-35 (not sure)

This is to clear up any confusion about how the chain lightning works
so lets say NotaSmurf gets hit first then it jumps to KappaLord555
then WarmForm then __light so

NotaSmurf takes 30 DPS
KappaLord takes 15 DPS (due to it jumping to him)
WarmForm takes 7.50 DPS (jumped FROM kappa to warm)
__light takes 3.75 DPS (do you get it yet?)

that's it tell me how broken or good that was, Now if y'all don't mind i'm going to go pass out.

Give it a rev-gl :) make it a pure death ball breaker

very cool idea!

[DemitronPrime]

energy weapons in hawken....

 

Ummm Would you perchance like a grapple sword and a shield to go with that not going to happen?

no sword for me thanks, I guessed that an electricity would be more accepted by the community than a laser or something because it would fit more with hawken's feel and tone, I never really can know what i'm thinking at three tho.

[DemitronPrime]

I agree there....

 

Definitly better that a grapple sword...

 

but yeah Im not 100% sold on it... just because it seems a little more starwars/Unreal/quake than it does hawken to me... personal opinion

I thank you for it, It helps me make better ideas that make more people happy.

We have laser weapons today, IRL. Just not the pew pew kind.

Lightning gun would be cool, but would it jump from mech to mech, or rather simply take the path of least resistance? Well.. MORE electricity passing through the path of least resistance..

it would move to the closest mech and its "jumps" aren't far

We already have repair and vampire beams in Hawken, so I don't think that an arc of electricity that follows a plasma-inducing laser through the air is a stretch. Especially because they've been successfully tested in the real world already.

So, basically a hit-scan weapon that makes a *boom* sound.

OK, I was thinking that you were proposing that it would jump from mech to mech to mech in a chain.

here il find an img

this is what it would be like using it to attack a death ball


its more or less a CQC chain lightning can't hit a heavy tech combo if the tech is playing it right

        I think that electric weapon should work similar to TASER.

 

It should launch harpoon that damages and sticks to enemy. Then elecric discharge is being sent every second via wire attached to that harpoon.

 

If enemy gets behind cover or flanks you, wire breaks.  

 

If another enemy cross the wire, wire breaks and mech who crossed it gets damaged slightly.   

 

Wired harpoon is heavy and cant be fired very far (due to arc)

 

    Secondary fire: launches "wireless" harpoons that doesnt do extra electric damage but travel much further and faster.

 

 

So basically it requires you to hit target and keep it in sights in order to deal constant electric damage.

 A Taser Dart/harpoon style thing could be quite cool... if you fired it much like the bleacher it would be cool, I like the added restriction of use implied byt the wire too but rather than more damge, I would make it like a redox debuff

No guided H.E Charges with larger AoE (Area of Effect) to damage nearbies, please..

 

Just kidding ;P
