. With the fire-power-pack we got the phalanx-pistol and the geth-shotgun.
Both are unique compared to other weapons of their class, albeit from firing-rate, mass of shots and damage per projectile.
For people unfamilar with them:
The phalanx-pistol has a blue laser-pointer, turning it into a great sniper-pistol.
The geth-shotgun can be charged to deliver a devastating blast.
Since I think this is a branch that should see further development in DLC's and ME3, I'd like to collect some ideas on special weapon-abilities.
Only three rules:
1):No weapons using powers already implemented in the game.
So a sniper-rifle delivering a warp or a shotgun with a cryo-grenade is out of the loop;).
2): It should be realistic in the terms of the ME-universe.
No weapon transforming around like Optimus Prime on steroids, though different states of unfolding may be possible.
3): Keep it neutral. No reaper-gun, no gun forcing an enemy do discuss the matter with you in a polite way.
Paragon:innocent: and Renegade:devil: should be able to use it, without the back-story of the weapon interfering too much with the morality.
I'll start with some of my weapon-ideas:
Raptor MK III adaptive assault-rifle:
Mechanics:
Similar to the Avenger assault-rifle.
Upon aiming the weapon, it can be charged to deliver shots like the Mattock-rifle (To continue rapid-fire while aiming, you need to tap fire).
Design:
Two elongated rails form a kind of maw.
Hexagonic me-accelerators are aligned left and right the lower and upper "jaw".
The accelerators are elongated at one side, giving them the stilyzed appearance of large teeth.
For charging-shots, the accelerators will retract a bit to form a more dense field.
History:
When "insert-corporation-name-here"s marketing-department recognized the similarities between the prototypes design and the extinct velociraptors of earth, the lawyers of the company were sent out to require the rights of the discontinued weapon-series.
The weapon -albeit new- is already far known.
It is reported, that the maw-design of the weapon can stun smaller feral creatures with fear or respect.
Penetrator advanced sniper-rifle:
The Penetrator is special in one kind. It's bullets have a higher speed than any other known sniper-rifle.
Although the projectiles are very small, therefore dealing less damage than the average sniper-rifle, the small high-velocity-rounds will penetrate the cover of enemies.
This is the only reason, why the weapon with high reload-time and small damage ever hit the stores.
It lacks an adequate sensory-equipment, so the user has to be skilled enough to know the targets position behind cover.
