Gauss gun inspired mainly by Half-life.
As you know, sharpshooter's skill choices offer them a tradeoff between weapon power and mobility.
The very main idea behind this weapon is to give sharpshooter a versatile weapon that's more or less suitable for playstyles with both left and right skill trees.The weapon combines both playstyles for the sharpshooter - charged shots do more damage and more suitable for left sided, stationary sniper. While low powered beams deal maybe the same damage as winchester but have a lot faster rate of fire - useful when you need to move.
SImple. Works pretty mich like husk cannon, but designed for Sharpshooter.
Here is weapon's description from official wiki:
"The Tau Cannon fires beams of Tau particles. The weapon has two different fire modes. The first shoots tau particles semi-automatically, visible as yellow beams in the air; each beam damages a target with its negative charge and its bullet-like kinetic energy. Though only moderately per hit, these rapid discharges can quickly gun down unarmored targets. The alt-fire mode charges up the weapon to fire more powerful white-hot beams; these can shoot through multiple targets or walls, causing a devastating explosion blast of particles on the far side."
They mention some kind of explosion, but in game this weapon doesn't do that. Also it doesn't have to penetrate walls obviously.
