The Gamma-ray Laser Rifle is an energy weapon used by Octanian Gamma Troopers and their primary choice of firearm in combat.
Overview[]
The gamma-ray rifle is the primary weapon wielded by Octanian Gamma Troopers in combat. These weapons are linked to the Trooper via their species' cybernetic parasites. Their weapons are of particular religious significance to them, as they symbolize the cleansing fire with which Mental will purify the universe.[1] Octanian rifles are designed for high damage potential, but as they cannot adapt to Earth's atmospheric conditions, this renders the weapon even weaker than it's meant to be.[1]
The weapon fires green laser beams which are treated in-game as projectiles, so they take time to reach a target. These beams can be easily evaded by sidestepping or hiding behind cover. The weapon also has terrible accuracy and spread, but the gun can deal moderate damage to a close range or stationary target.
Appearances[]
The weapon is commonly seen being used by Octanian Gamma Troopers. It cannot be picked up or used by the player, since it is not scripted to be used.
Trivia[]
- The rifle bears a resemblance to the Morretti SR4 Sniper Rifle, a weapon that appears in Battlefield 2142.
