Ok, so we have seen the Shock Rifle appear in toys and MegaConstrux sets, but we have not seen ANY gameplay. So I was wondering that you all thought its role in the sandbox would be since I’m not sure myself.
I think it will be shocking to finally see in action, we might even be shocked with how it works with the sandbox. ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)
I’m sorry, my guess is it’ll probably hinder movement more than it damages, sort-of like the opposite to how the ravager worked in the technical preview.

So maybe it shoots an electro-pool that damages Spartans and EMP’s vehicles?
I imagine whatever you hit, those nearby also get electrocuted, so potentially you could take down multiple enemies at once with it. I’m imagining Winston’s gun from Overwatch for context. Potentially longer range single fire, but it’s weaker. I’m not really sure. Should be fun to use.

This would be amazing for BTB

That could be interesting, but what about if its really an anti shield weapon but attacks in an area? So maybe it shoots an electro-thingy that shocks a group of spartans and downs ALL of their shields, allowing you to pick them off with a precision weapon. And then if you use it against a vehicle it EMP’s it, though I’m not sure if it should down the driver’s shields as well. Turning it into a power-weapon version of the Plasma Pistol overcharge shot.

True, would be like a supercharged energy drainer. Think you’d need to make the range really tiny to make you need to be very accurate with it if that was the case. Like an EMP grenade launcher. Would be funny if it made you drop your weapon, that would be so annoying.
I hope it is none of my suggestions haha.

For the playerbase’s sake xD
- Stun effect a la the Plasma Rifle from CE
- It does a form of damage over time therefore delaying shield recharge
- It flat out EMP’s shields and postpones shield recharge for a short period
- It disrupts HUD
- It disables sprint for a short period
- It chains from player to player i.e if enemies are grouped together one shot can jump from player to player enchancing it’s utility
- Some combination of the above points

Man, I really hope it’s this now, what a unique power weapon that would be! Essentially an overcharged plasma pistol shot with a big AoE. Sounds awesome.
