Yes, i can totally see someone "covering" someone else from being shot from a long distance. Especially since you can really easily designate targets personally and there are totally supresion debufs in this game. And then you place walls and spend the next minute doing fucking nothing because if you try to as much as move a little, youre going to eat a bullet first and a mortar you cannot dodge second. Truly, making a weapon disable a person in a mobility game is the best thing since Mark 2's. Brilliant
I have never seen anybody actively protect others in a fps. It's always been somebody shooting me and then waiting for my death for people to respond and return fire.
Oh you can do that. On district, which has lots of vis blocking and all the other crap. Most empires map are the complete opposite.
It'd fit well, I agree After some consideration, this type of stun rifle would require a minimum distance from target to provide the stun effect, and would work better if you had bullet physics and travel times instead of hitscan.
