Boson lance questions

Post by SwizzleStick86 » Sat, 4. Apr 20, 17:21

So does anybody here have alot of experience with that weapon? Stats it appears to be hitscan, the limited time I've gotten to try it seems to be fixed, was that a bug or is it supposed to be on a gimbal?
Other question is how do you use it, when I just click fire, it just seems to immediately go into overheated status


Thanks

You have to hold down the fire button for a few seconds, which instantly drains the gun, then when you let go it fires a powerful blue hitscan beam. Firing again before the gun is fully cooled down will cause it to overheat without firing another shot, after which it'll take much longer for the gun to cool down again. It's basically a finisher weapon which can one-shot fighters or finish off damaged M sized ships with a single salvo.
