weapons

Once again an impressive concept image I don't know what to think about this one, it gives the shotgun vibes, mostly because of the big drums underneath, but I have no idea about the purpose of those six pieces with little holes on the top of the weapon. Maybe it launches something? Or maybe...

What's this? A Minecraft gun? :p Ok, this is a blocky one. To me it seems to be some kind of laser or energy gun, I'm assuming those blue boxes in the rear are maybe battery packs, and the visuals kinda gives some electronic appliance vibes. If someone told me this is the prototype of the...

This one looks heavy: Unfortunately I don't have the full image because, as I said in the first post, I had to extract these images from a video, and some of them were cropped, but in the small image it's still possible to see what the front grip looks like and how it is positioned. The image...

This one must be a SMG: And I say this because of some features that are clearly inspired by some of the most famous SMGs nowadays, the grip and frame are inspired by the Kriss Vector SMG, and the curved forward grip is from the iconic FN P90, and these are the two most futuristic looking...

Now this seems to pack a punch: This gun has some design features of some very famous sniper rifles, I'm still not sure it is because it doesn't have a scope, and also sniper rifles usually don't have a forward grip, but you can see that it has a Barret-style muzzle brake, and the front frame...

Continuing on the subject of handguns, here is the third weapon: This one is also very peculiar, you can see that it's a gunblade, it even reminds a little of some Warframe gunblades because of the shape and position of the grip, and this time we can see an inscription that says "20 MM...

And here is the second weapon: This one I find particularly interesting because it's clearly a revolver handgun, but with a huge cylinder. And there's no indication of a caliber, so it might be for something like a shotgun round or even those 40mm grenade projectiles. What do you think...

A few years ago some weapon concepts were presented, but it seems (I may be wrong) only the Stardyne ST-11 Assault Rifle and the Tessara Rifle were added to the store for sale, or as rewards for subs. I can't find the original forum post with the original images, so I extracted them from a video...

Dropoff could be another stat, with a "has/has not" toggle. Kinetic weapons could be modded to remove it, laser always has it and other weapons can go either way during crafting. I was reading a comment on an old Firefall video and a main-sniper said that the lack of projectile drop off was...

I think the good stuff starts at 19:30 Most notable to me is the weapons customization. It is so awesome I think the crafting loop should include that. It's an opportunity for skins, but it would make a big impression if it was conspicuously absent of monetization and was completely...

Sound Retention Technology Creating a completely transparent field that only blocked sound proved to be a more difficult task than anticipated, during the technological boom that gave rise to the first shields and their fast widespread use. Developed sometime after, sound-retention fields...

Author's note: A weakness of mine, when it comes to writing, is the ability to accurately imagine/predict just how advanced technology would be in a fictional setting. As I've already said, in my review of the novel, the whole Fabric thing blew my mind. I did not expect anything like that...

I was able to bring this up peripherally during a chief chat, but I think it deserves some deeper consideration. When you're in a combat and you go to use your secondary weapons system, at this time missiles, your DPS from primary weapons stops while you lock on to targets. The first sweep is...

Considering that even the lightest of frames could be carrying cannons of considerable caliber, compared to what a single person could or will be equipped with (outside of their frames), the enemies, particularly the Tsi-Hu, ought to warrant such fire-power. Even the smallest grunts and runts of...

In the recent Chief Chat @Grummz asked the community to share their Ideas and thoughts on weapons and abilities, as well as our favorites from FireFall for EM-8er. This is the Thread to post them in. Feel free to add any media you can find on old FF stuff for Grummz as a reminder/reference.

Catching up the posts, and while reading one from March there was something that caught my eye (copy and pasted from https://em8er.com/omniframe-gameplay-systems/): Medium frametypes: Medium frametypes have an additional slot for both their secondary weapon, allowing them to dual wield guns...

I was looking at the artwork where the THMPR was fighting a mini-kaiju, and a thought occurred to me... what about in addition to upgrading the armor/weapons/stats of the Omniframes, but also doing so for the THMPR. Giving us the ability to increase its survivability, and in addition to the stat...

While I definitely make use of it in Firefall and am decked out in battle-frame parts that all give a +10 to e.g.: Ability Potency...should they? Should an arm-part or omni-frame head or leg parts affect offensive abilities in such a way? Defensive stats, resistances and mobility, yes. But...

Could've put this in the thread about the suggestions for games to play until Ember is playable, but it needs a separate thread. Mainly because I'm pissed off about it. So, I tried Blacklight Retribution and to my great disappointment, anger and annoyance, it played the same way as another game...

I wanted this conversation to be separate from the one about what weapons we'd like to see in-game, their behavior, balance, customization...etc. Would it be (eventually) feasible to allow for such an expansion of the gun-play in Ember? I'm not just thinking of wielding two identical weapons...
