Lasher Question

[Ex70]

From the Weapon Info Page: The Lasher fires a concentrated energy 'orb' that effectively lashes out against soldiers or vehicles at close range. A target that is lashed receives minor damage, whereas a target that is directly impacted by the orb receives maximum damage.

If the energy orb comes in direct contact with an enemy soldier, would it keep going through him until it "ran out" of energy after a certain amount of time? Or if you hit someone directly does it stop?

Seems to me if it does stop, then when using the Lasher you would want to try and miss your target, assuming there are several enemies nearby.

Stops on impact. I've seen a pic of it hitting a Mosquito and exploding into a massive electrical storm looking thing. Was awesome.

Who cares its a Gimp weapon

[Nubi]

that opinion coming from someoen who's prejudice against the Vanu, of course

[Chief-BOA]

of course look at my sig

[Alias]

Yeah, that statement was about as accurate as the minigun at 500 yards. GG.

My thought, on the lasher, is that it works just like any area effect weapon in any game ( i.e rocket launchers) just it has a bigger area of effect. When it explodes the closer you are to the point of impact, the more damage you suffer.

[Chief-BOA]

i heard that it was just like an energy shotgun

whooops, dang EULA, will have to post this opinion later, sorry

[Alias]

It damages all targets while it passes them, not just when it hits a block of some sort. It can whiz by you and still "lash" out and do damage, which is why it's given the name "Lasher". Clever, huh?

[Zatrais]

Lasher, teh VS room clearing weapon...

[Destroyeron]

It's good if say, a lot of guys are lined up, shoot next to them and it will lash out to them and do damage, fire off a few rounds like that and hey, if there all afk or something you could kill them all!

*gulps* I'll be faaaar away from everyone else....

[Peacemaker]

Vanu weps are deadly but i think the problem with them is if you EVER shot a bright beam of light that went several hundred yards (or less) then your enemies are going to know exactly where you are/ were. Might as well put a big neon sign n your head that says I am Vanu rape me!!!!, well any ways that wouldnt be very good for the guy on the other end of the blast but it wouldnt be good for the guy who shot it in the first place.

[NeoTassadar]

Imagine a crossfire, there would be no escape!

even for the vanu on the opposite sides
