Chaingun now includes more chain and more gun!
The latest update to Tabula Rasa is now on the public test realm. Some of the bigger impacts include:
"* Series 2 Physical Chaingun: This newly developed fully automatic weapon has the ability to punch through enemy combatants, cutting down anything in its direct line of fire. This comes at a cost however, of reduced accuracy and the inability to lock a specific target.
* Series 2 Laser Pistol: With the ability to fire 3 shots per rapid fire burst, this weapon is ideal for eliminating individual targets at close range without drawing too much attention.
* The first installment of Pet Improvements is now Live and all Bots/Clones/Spotters will now act more consistently and reliably. Each Bot/Clone/Spotter is automatically set to follow and guard the player and each will always assist the player above all else. Each rank is now a toggle as well so you may cast the same rank of Bot Construction, Spotter, or Create Clone to dismiss your pet. A few pets have also been changed slightly so that they are more useful to their master:
o The Repair Bot now has a radial repair instead of a direct repair and the VFX have been changed to reflect that.
o Spotter Rank 3 now uses a radial repair tool instead of a healing disk.
I like the idea of a three shot burst that doesn't draw attention, silent but deadly? read the rest of the new deployment notes at Tabula Rasa News.
