Tesla powa

Can we introduce the Portative Tesla weapons?

Like Tesla, but portative, with yellow electric arc at short range.

When you fire, this will project in a 45° cone in the direction and can hit everything on range, and will "jump" to second and third target like the electric attack from Adv. Marauder. But... this can hit human and human building too.

This will be great for testing if there is an alien hidden near a door.

Need loading like Luci.

We can discuss about damages, and why not Adv. Marauder can't be hit with this.
If touch human building, this will be like EMP and inactive them for some seconds?

Just an idea... for dangerous weapon. (and bots shouldn't use them like Luci, near base)

how so? would it go through walls or around corners?

[SuperDupont]

Like Advanced Marauder, but can hit everything, so, need be used in safe condition by human.
We know humans and safety or security...

I'm not in favor for giving humans ONE MORE MASS DESTRUCTION weapon, especially if effective at close range and copying an alien attack.

As a reminder, humans already have:

* chaingun
* flamer
* lucifer

Which do the role of area damages (mass destruction), not to mention the grenade and firebomb. Ok, sure, chaingun is not technically an area weapon, but it's spreading makes it act like one.
On the other hand, aliens have... only marauder, that you're asking to give to humans.

May be Advanced Tyrant can spit dart (like Adv Goon), but will explode at the impact and create a poison explosion (like Acid Tube)?

So, the Tyrant can be useful, at range.

And, if the the gas from acid tube (and theses darts) can extinguish flames, this can be useful to defend the Alien base too.

Just a fool idea.
