I hope the Promethean Repeater is different..

…from the other auto primaries. While I don’t have an issue with auto weapons, I hope the Promethean repeater performs differently from the AR or Storm Rifle. Both the AR and Storm rifle begin being somewhat accurate and rapidly expand into a large cone of fire. One does projectile damage while the other does energy damage . That’s all fine, I just hope the Promethean repeater does something different.

So does anyone have any ideas for ways to give the Promethean Repeater a different role? Maybe it could be more accurate like the CE Plasma rifle and have tighter spread pattern. Perhaps it could have a scope like the ODST SMG? Any other ideas?

To make it interesting, I think it should have a “chaingun” effect. It would have to charge up, like a spartan laser and then it fires many projectiles, a bit stronger than both the AR and Storm rifle due to the charge-up. But then it overheats like the storm rifle and doesn’t shoot for as long as either of the other rifles.

Maybe not a charge, but perhaps an extended burst ala the Gorgon from Gears.

The best thing I can think of is that it has a bigger clip than the AR or doesn’t overheat as fast as the storm rifle. Since they are more advanced.

Would it be weaker than the other two rifles to help balance the sandbox?

I don’t know how they’d make it behave differently but I want it to be different than the AR and Storm Rifle.

You can see the Repeater being used in the Spartan Ops videos from Comic-con. Judging from the videos it looks like it’s pretty effective at long ranges, the rounds lose much less accuracy than the AR and SR.
