Energy beam blasters

[DanielAstrol]

There are some droids and enemies in the game (for example, the scrapyard on Hutta) that have a rifle that fires a constant beam. I would like to see some weapons on the CM like the Geonosian Elite Beam Cannon. Or modifying existing blaster pistols / rifles and assault cannons with this.

There's the Kyber Assault Cannon for example. It has a literal Death Star laser effect on it.

I suppose the way this could work by adding an auto-attack, which fires the beam until the target runs out of HP. If the target is switched, the player must fire his / her blaster again. While the auto-attack is in progress, the player can't use a secondary attack to lower the HP of the target faster. What do you guys think?

 

Edit:

There are also some wrist blaster-like gauntlets. For example, the gauntlet from the Mantellian Privateer set. I think I speak for some of us when I say we need some wrist mounted weapons for a change. Mix-matching some gloves would be also good to get a wanted appearance. For example:

Outfit: Elegant Duelist

Main Weapon: The wrist blaster from the Mantellian Privateer set

Secondary Weapon: Vibrosword

 

It might just be me, but in my opinion a well-balanced mixture of close and ranged combat style for a Smuggler, Bounty Hunter, Trooper and Agent would be good. It wouldn't be much for the vibrosword-based attack, it would be the basic lightsaber attack. Just as some NPC can switch from ranged weapon to vibrosword and hitting the player with it.
