Will the gatling laser become an awesome rare weapon(like gauss pistol) after wipe?

[Perteks]

I think it will be still shit weapon

No. From what have been said, I guess it will be at current avenger level (in term of damage).
But I don't think it will be as rare as gauss pistol.

Still shit compare to eye shoots
Specially if will be like current avenger (useless without 2 brd)

If only armors will be changed and metal/tesla/combat armors won't defend so much against laser. Or if it'll deal the same damage as avenger to metal+ armors with current DR/DT, then they will need to increase laser defence to muties and most of creatures, or else you'll kill 3-4 mobs per burst in TB with gatling.

It'll be ~2.5 what it is now.

What about armors? Because 80% its still high enough to dont care about laser gatlings

Armour stats are elsewhere. You will want to be in metal when one of these is about

MKI, MKII or Tesla. I explained the design idea behind the armours elsewhere too.

This is unfortunate for fastshot rifles (I don't expect Laser rifles doing more damage, or plasma rifes being able to shoot 40 hexes), but you can imagine if this gun is still 40h range and does comparable damage to minigun on combat armor dudes, it'll be absolutely killer when you aim leather dudes. However, leather did get just pathetic resistances compared to combat armor, so that it won't be worth wearing if you can affort combat armor. On other side energy resistances on metalic armors will be vastly superior to combat armors, so you may expect rich people to wear only metal/tesla or combat, this will favor minigun, and make it inferior to avenger).
Also hoarding cells might be a problem if damage is going to come from more lasers emited (it already eats one cell - 50 charges - in five bursts when all other weapons using it will fire just one charge).

[Sarakin]

Can we expect change to ammo consumption ? This soon-to-be beast is pretty hungry

[EnergyForYou]

It'll be ~2.5 what it is now.

Finally some good news , i still know when "some" admin told me that laser gatling is shitty beacause of recoil

[Solar]

It will still eat through ammo and it will be hard to get/maintain (only available in encounters - same as the Avenger). It will however do more damage to Leather than even the boosted Avenger and comparable damage to CA+ to the boosted Minigun.

Should add something fun anyway.
