So I was thinking the other day, while gunning down spartans with the warhog with the needler turret.
Maybe we should have a Saw version for the covernaunts and the idea is…
It’s body shape is the same as the needler rifle in reach but without the needles and the bottem left of the body has a drum barrel chambers with bunch off small, long needles. the scrope from the needler rifle will be replace with a ammo screen, showing the chamber spin as pink dots slowly goes as you fire. it has a long barrel and a big stock.
it’s fire rate is slow but can shoot far, when 5 needles stick into the spartan will cause a super combine. (It can not home into people)
the way it’ll reload is the chamber opens out from the gun’s body which the person pullls the chamber out before putting a new one in and then slamming it back into the gun.
it carries 17 needles per mag, slow reload speed, 4 shots to the head, 7 (without explosion) to the body, 9 on arms or legs. this will be a REQ 7 and varients will be:
Pink Mist: Faster fire rate +8%, mag is now 24 but it takes more needles for a super combine.
SpikeFire: able to lock onto multiple enemies + deals extra damage to vehicles
