I have more ideas coming, more ideas for healing items, yellow, and red items.

 

Harpo implied that it just breaks shields, meaning guaranteed shield break even at point blank. I think the 4 second stun isn't half bad, either, considering the possibility of talents and perks to increase the duration. With that, breaking a shield should still give the full duration stun the weapon would normally give, starting at 4 seconds (which is the default for a shield break coincidentally). And bear in mind that this would be the only way for shooters and defenders to stun someone besides a shield break. This weapon would fall into the unique category of red items that can inflict any status effects at all, the existing ones being flare gun, firebomb, and carronade [edit: and a grenade when it crits]. It would also be the only point damage weapon in the game that you can hit a stunned unfriend with without having to worry about ruining the stun.

I personally think this is a cooler idea for a weapon than I've thought of so far, and it would definitely bring some new tactics to the table. The word cannon in the name feel wrong though since it fires like a railgun. How about Shock Blaster? Idk, but you have my vote, good sir.

Oh, and @HARPO! I don't think there'd be any shame in voting on your own poll, it's your idea, I think you're entitled to agree with it and count towards how many people like it. I do it all the time ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

Thanks i like this reply, plus the reason for the low damage is because you can hit someone and then hit them again.

 

Well you can hit someone and then hit the, again because they’ll be stunned

 

I’ll increase the damage

 

I want a 3 slot weapon.

 

I was thinking about that, but I thought it would get a lot of negative feedback, I wanna see how people react to the item right now. No offense, totally with you

 

The low damage balances out with it's high utility.

 

It's blurring the lines between yellow and red items. It's like you took frost blaster, railgun, and tesla bolt and blended them together.

 

I didn’t take frost blaster, plus caronade has special effects too, so why not make another weapon that does the same?

 

Who in their right mind would take this over a railgun? Railgun also stuns those who have shields up for 4 sec and does like 3x the dmg. This game is all about hitting them while they are exposed and having to take 2 shots to do what one can do now just doesn't make sense to me.

 

Yeah, but every shot you land with this weapon stuns someone, and then you can blast right away with your more powerful weapon, this weapon is nerfed because it would be insane to deal the same amount of damage as a railgun and still stun people. Plus, there will be perks and Mayberry buzzkill could take up this weapon

 

If you break a Tesla shield they don’t take damage they are only stunned. This one will stun and do damage.

 

I’ll shorten the stun by 4 seconds

 

I think he meant longer stun. Wasn't it 4 seconds to begin with? Something like this would definitely need perks and talents to boost the stun duration.

This is good. The shield doesn't discourage wasting a shot of this like with the railgun.

 

Remove the close range thing and you're good to go.

 

I changed the part about the weapon for where if the target was closer, it wouldn’t do max damage, that would make this weapon really low powered. It will now do full damage at any range!
