New Gun In The Works: Magma Weapon

The last thing I heard a little here, a little there on, was a new weapon. Currently they're working on a new weapon and the name floating around is the Magma Weapon. Although Howard Tsao stated it won't be the official name, it's something in the works currently. Personally I can't quite imagine what the “Magma Weapon” could lead to. Are we talking something similar to the flamethrower or a fireball? Who knows?

Oh... hell yeah

Good find Sund

[James T. Kirk]

It's like all my hopes and dreams are coming true!

[N-Sunderland]

I can only imagine the Cake Galleons...

[James T. Kirk]

You guys are gonna need Chem Spray AND Extinguishers.

[shadowsteel]

That just gave me an idea that would make bringing Chem and Ext viable. Allow Chem to work on an Ext cooldown!

A dedicated fireman might be needed with fire making a comeback and now with this new 'Magma Cannon' ( i know it only says weapon but this sounds way better).

[LordFunPants]

oh. . .well then. . .

[N-Sunderland]

I suppose FPSGuru is going to get a strongly worded e-mail about why not to leak details about future content?

[LordFunPants]

well, gives me an excuse to tease you guys as always with what i'm currently working on. . . obviously, the "magma cannon" is a cannon made of hot liquid magma. . . that can only be used if someone chem sprays it before hand

[Demigo]

I don't care about your stinking "Magma Cannon"!! I need a big gun with like 2 to 4 gatlings mounted on it to go with my heavy flack!!

Based on the leaked damage stats last month it'll be worth it (you know what I'm talking about anyone that kept a close eye on the weapon spreadsheet).

[Sammy B. T.]

I am imagining something akin to the flamer but it has a crazy downward arc.

Based on the leaked damage stats last month it'll be worth it (you know what I'm talking about anyone that kept a close eye on the weapon spreadsheet).

I've forgotten the exact damage numbers, but it was fire-piercing, right?

[Captain Smollett]

Yes, but with a hefty amount of fire damage.  If one were to assume it was a rapid fire weapon (which the damage numbers indicated could be possible) then it would brutalize heavily: balloons, armor and permahull making a weapon that could single handedly make a kill on it's own while also destroying the balloon.  Almost like a super carronade with incendiary rounds.

Mi wants it now!! Giv mi!!
