It's maybe a bit too weak, at start it almost can do no damage, devs please power it up a bit. And make it a decent weapon.
The beam rifle is an awesome rifle with 100 ammo, and has no reload. At level 5 it's a godly minigun. Spoiler EDIT: For clarity I'm only responding in this thread with posts made by DragonShark yesterday where he made an additional thread to talk about the Beam Rifle in the same subforum as another thread that already had an ongoing discussion about the Beam Rifle. Then he proceeded to talk about how the Beam Rifle is great despite only mentioning how it is terrible. I actually think the gun is under powered.
Aren't there already two threads about the Beam Rifle, one of them posted by none other than yourself?
Yeah yeah, but I noticed that the Bullet hell is stronger than the Beam Rifle. But why is that? The Bullet hell is a beginners gun.
That is awful logic. The beginning weapons should ACTUALLY be in general the most well rounded. Look at Hawken, their starter mech, while basic, was top tier.
It's a constant beam firing over and over. Pretty awesome huh? I really like it for some reason I get GREAT kills with it!

Only if you're hitting with all barrels. How often does that happen? The Auto Sniper is flat out stronger than the Beam Rifle, that's true.
for the beam rilfe you will see that after about 1000 yards the damage falls off to half of its original damage, so if you are closer you will do more. as for the lower levels, i do agree, it is difficult to use. i have a slight damage buff in mind for it, but we are going to give it more than a weekend to test
