DeathBoLT Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Tenloss Disruptor Rifle The tenloss rifle is outlawed by the New Republic but is still produced on the black market and used by some criminal elements. The primary fire produces a single fast-moving shot with a medium rate of fire. The secondary mode can be charged up and disintegrates living targets. It allows scope activation and zoom. I wonder what the radius is on the living target disintegration.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowbieOne Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Hmmm, so it seems that the Disruptor could turn out to be a Sniper Rifle and a powerhouse weapon, which is quite a good idea. As a matter of fact it sounds like it will be completely original from anything we've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Obi Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 <font color=cbcbff> It sounds like a medium-range death machine to me, not a sniper rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowbieOne Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Death machine or not, it's definately a sniper, having a scope attached to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Hopefully if it a combination powerhouse / sniping weapon, it will be like the sniper rifle in RtCW - extremely ammo limited! No offense, but I think that would make things more interesting. Certainly Ifound that having 5 bullets in the chamber and *none* in reserve in an area where stealth was helpful made things very interesting - and challenging.

Guest Obi Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 <font color=cbcbff> I didn't check the shots before this post, because I'm in a hurry. But I think I recall scopes on the StRifle and the BowCaster as well. Since the BowCaster is a long range weapon and was more or less the sniper rifle from the first Jedi Knight, that is where I'd place my bet for now.

It allows scope activation and zoom. therefore, the disrupter is, indeed, the sniper rifle. and with the secondary fire AND sniper function, i beleive THIS will now be the new over-used multiplayer weapon (even if the ammo is limited. im not complaining, i think the gun looks awesome), or atleast of the ones we currently know of.. and obi, i beleive they have already stated the bowcaster WONT be having a scope, sadly. then again, hopefully it will be nothing like the bow in JK, so it might not even be an effective long-range weapon actually, the disrupter somewhat reminds me of a bowcaster, or atleast the way they say it functions. a single fast-firing long range shot, and a charged up short range blast is quite similar to the bowcaster's shotgun spread..

Raxius Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Actually, i've read that the bowcaster WILL have a scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowbieOne Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Yes, I think they were trying the scope on different things possibly?? But last I heard , the Crossbow will NOT have a scope. Man, I wish Raven would come clear this up because we have been confused about it since the beginning of our JK2 discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathBoLT Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 you read that in the November Issue of PC Gamer, and a Raven dev came on the forums and stated that PC gamer was incorrect. the bowcastor does not have a scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Which is a shame in my opinion. I was hoping that it would have a scope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Obi Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Originally posted by A Big Fat CoW It allows scope activation and zoom. Ok, that was <i>not</i> there before. I would have seen that when I read it last night had it been there, wouldn't I have? Well, excellent, it's solved. It is indeed the riper snifle.

JPMaximilian Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Most disruptors have a limited range (Rifles about 20 meters), this must be a new version. The one in the Essential Guide to Weapons is the Tenloss DXR-6. This one must be what, the DXR-20SE, for it to have a good enough range to utilize a scope. I'm not complaining, its looks like a sweet-action sniping weapon, but it doesn't fit the build of a typical disruptor in SW EU. Could be a tech-breakthrough though.

CaptainRAVE Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Maybe its a prototype weapon that has been scretly researched somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Tahu Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Now that the link is up,porbably my forum in the swamp could get locked,but usually,in this forum,it gets neglected,not locked. Anyway,my current favourite weapons in JO is the DEMP-2 and the Disruptor.I like the Lightsaber more,though.Anyway,I hope that the disruptor would be weapon number '9'.I wonder how do you evoke the Sniper mode...

Point 1) They just have scopes on the graphic, you can't actually zoom. Point 2) When we say sniper rifle we mean something akin to ST rifle w/ scope in MotS, rather than just a weapon you can usually hit with from a very far range without zoom. We're refering to a weapon that can zoom an allow you precice aim with no autoaim and a shot that goes really fast so that you will hit where it was pointing (normally).

Broode Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 To me, the disruptor seems overpowered. The ability to zoom to get targets at long range (generally, sniper rifles = 1 or 2 hit kill), and the ability to disintegrate matter at closer ranges with secondary fire makes this weapon out to be the most deadly weapon at all ranges. They'll have trouble balancing this out with other weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 U mean powerful as in AWP/Magnum Sniper Rifle form Cs type powerful?... yeh that would be good tho the time it took to relaod should be added as a recharge sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[SWS]Strider Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 They should just mkae it so the charge takes a little bit. You can also make it take up alot more ammo, making it more precious. I think it will work out. Plus, what good is a Disruptor agains't a det pack Strider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
