Gatewalkers weaponry #1 - Rifle
Hi Gatewalkers,
Today we will introduce to you one of the new weapons that will be available during Gatewalkers’ release. The rifle!
Rifles are technological innovations in the Guild, and not many Gatewalkers had a chance to use them. Innovative weapons created by guild engineers are often underestimated by Gatewalkers, who are more familiar with classic ranged weapons such as bows and crossbows.
But those we tried to use Rifles during their expeditions usually stick with them for a long time!
The rifle is an advanced (T4+) slow-speed two-handed ranged weapon. Complex reloading mechanics make this weapon relatively slow, but massive damage dealt by even a single shot makes up for it. Now let us discuss each rifle spell in detail:
Single Shot: Projects o single shot with robust damage. It marks enemies with a "Sharp Shooter Mark.”
Shrapnel Projectile: Guild rifles can be loaded with explosive projectiles. The projectiles hit the target and split into many fragments forming a large cone of AOE damage. In addition, the shooter can activate the projectile split at any time by re-casting it. This spell marks enemies with a "Sharp Shooter Mark.”
Rush Back Fire: This skill consists of two subsequent phases. In the first phase, the player sprints forward a long distance. During the sprint, the player's resistance raises significantly. In addition, all the enemies the player runs next to get marked with a "Sharp Shooter Mark.”
In the second phase (second activation of this spell), the player shoots a splash projectile that deals massive damage to enemies marked with a "Sharp Shooter Mark.” Then, the player jumps back in the opposite direction to the shot.
Aimed Shots: The player kneels on one knee and aims with the rifle for a while. After aiming, the player shoots at the cursor position. After the first shot, it immediately goes to the second and then the third shots. You cannot move during shooting. Each shot deals great damage as it passes through all enemies. The damage is hugely increased if Aimed shots hit enemies with a "Sharp Shooter Mark.”
We hope that you will like the new weapon and you will try it out! Please let us know your thoughts in the comments!
