Update (hope I'm not repeating myself from previous updates!):
Laser projectile speed upped back a bit from 2000 to 4500.
Shotgun melee now is way easier to hit with because it traces approximately along the shotgun swing path. It however also lowers damage towards the end of the anim.
Electro primary has a 0.75x force, previous force was indeed a bit on the higher side.
Electro blobs fire at a faster rate, have a bigger radius (250, iirc what it was in Nexuiz), slighly lower damage (40 per blob), higher z speed, just slighly lower horizontal speed. They should be MUCH more useful now, at least I'm finding them a lot more useful
Mortar primary/secondary have identical flight paths now, with higher z speed
Rifle has a somewhat fast refire rate of 0.8s, secondary simply zooms in just as the nex.
Lifetimes of projectiles tweaked to max 5 seconds to prevent excessive jumppad spamming of them.
That should be all for now, adding laser secondary gauntlet mode tomorrow, testing will tell if we should keep both melee modes. (if not, the gauntlet will go, because the shotgun melee is EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC WINNNNNNN
)
I'm just thnking they [electro blobs] easily would become TOO effective...
