Weapon Fire animation

[_________NanoSimpson]

Hey all. Was wondering what the coolest weapon firing animation/effects were. Preferably on a weapon that can be found as QL1. Im looking for some cool effects to add to my NT. I dont have the IP for a real weapon, so want to get a low QL one that looks cool so people think Im at least doing something some of the time. Already found a low lvl hammer that I have fun running around the city with, now just need something for when I actually fight mobs and such.

Coolest one I ever found was the Neutrino Flash in the Steps of Madness. Has a nice Quake 3ish railgun shot to it.

Try a Magical Stave of Inferno, its a stick but it fires like a gun. Thought it was pretty cool. Wish the effects were more spectacular though.

Also:

Banjo
Hayfork
Omni-med Butter Cakes
Water Balloon

Those are cool looking but no effects

More toys in this game than viable weapons...

I found funny stuff to run around with already. Hayfork, hammer(paper or real), and my personal favorite, a chair! I do have a staff of inferno, last I recall it wasn't that great. Would try it out again, but it takes too high of a skill than I can easily acquire, would need to look for buffs, not something I want to do too much, very boring. Did do some testing earlier, best I found was a sparkling HSR arms. Very cool effect after it fires, supposed to be sparks shooting out.. but looks a lot more like flames. I urge everyone to try it out, or watch me shoot it, worth it. Next best would be an el-dieu. Looks much like the sleekblasters and such, white/slightly rainbow beam. But the difference with the el-dieu is upon impact it ignites in a little orange fireball.
I will have to try out that Neutrino Flash, you know where in SoM I may acquire it? Would it be possible to solo it as a lvl 79 NT? I tested out some bow that looked like a rail like effect as well, hopefully its different as it wasn't very exciting.

I always thought the good old fashioned flame thrower had a nice effect. Easy to equip too.

For the banjo effect turn up your sound.

IIRC The Original Plasma Emitter has some brutal looking special effects, especially when it fires a burst. Terrible gun though...

Cheers,

Manged to acquire the Neutrino Flash weapon last night. Before I could equip it(skills a lot higher than this poor IP-less NT could afford) a guildmate had it and showed it off for me. And I must say, not all that impressed. Pretty much the same effect as the bow-blaster, just more blueish. Afterwards, I showed him the sparkling HSR arms, and he admitted it was far better. And I managed to acquire a second one of low quality lvl and dual wield, so now I can shoot out double the flame power, woot!
Yea, I figured a flame thrower would look cool, but I can't seem to locate a good low lvl one in the stores. Ill go check out the plasma emitter as well, I don't care about weapon stats mostly, just effects. Though I would prefer if it had a somewhat decent attack speed so I could see the effects more often.
