This mod adds a little bit of "space" science fiction to your underwater adventures by allowing you to obtain one of the most iconic Mass Effect trilogy weapons, Geth Pulse Rifle.
Features
Geth pulse rifle (in game - Alien pulse rifle) is a rare and powerful weapon that can be found in alien ruins — prepare to getting wet obtaining it!
Just like all the ME1 weapons, it doesn't require ammunition — not even those weird thermal clips added in sequel. Instead, you'll have to cope with your weapon rapidly overheating, especially outside the cold waters of Europa. Overheated weapon requires some time before it starts cooling down, so firing with short bursts and keeping distance is key!
The rifle is carried with both hands and can be only placed inside the toolbelt slot, just like other big guns. (It also has a special sprite for contained/worn state, like a real Mass Effect weapon!)
It has mild damage per shot, but a very high rate of fire, may and will inflict standard firearm damage (gunshot wound, bleeding), but more commonly - deep tissue injuries.
Pulse projectiles have minimal structure damage, so shoot without fear of getting sunk (and look for a better way of destroying walls).
[Updated]
Now with its own flashlight! That's right, you haven't overheard me!
A lot of you asked for such feature and I can perfectly understand why. Won't overload you with technical details, just gonna say it wasn't as easy. Had to rip some hair on my head, but now it is there, though maybe not exactly how you were imagining!
The rifle has a movable UI layer with a tickbox on it - use it to turn the lights on and off. Flashlight uses weapon's internal power source, so you don't have to worry about recharging it. It also has some nifty sounds for switching on/off, but those are kinda unstable and will work better in singleplayer rather than multiplayer.
Compatibility
Completely standalone.
Plans
Pleasing the pocket guns lovers.
