Munitions emanation points

Quinburger · 07-12-2009, 01:28 PM

Does anyone know if munitions skills can have emanation points changed? I know you can do this for powers like a force blast, but does it work with powers that have an "item" model?

For example, would it be possible to take the minigun power and then have it emanate from a characters chest instead of a gun?

good question, but not sure if ppl can answer it

We'll know when open beta is released or the NDA is lifted.

It was alluded to that you may not be able to select your gun or weapon as an emanation point for most (possibly all) powers that don't interact with such an object, but I don't recall anything being said about the opposite being true.

Sorry.

It's been stated that some abilities don't have any optional emanation points, which makes sense. I highly doubt you'll find a Superhero running around and shooting missiles from his eyeballs.

The entire point of munitions is to be a gun-totin' bad ass. If you want to be a robot, go Power Armor.

You mean like Deadshot, one of Batman's nemesis'? I haven't heard anything about emanation points with the exception of the energy pools but that would be rather spiffy

There probably is a set of firearms that are attached to the wrist.

I'm pretty sure the end builder from power armor was what you are asking for.

if you watch the video, towards the end when the guy flies in to help out in the Desert zone, he appears to be "wrist firing" /shrug
