Hey

I was recently wondering which map can I find that model of the plasma rifle with the needles sticking out. It was a weapon that was removed from the game but according to slappythepirate you can still find it in some of the mp stock maps. I remember him and some other guys talking about how the plasma rifle pic in the instruction manual had needles sticking out. I have recently learned how to make textures from scratch and would love to make new textures, shaders and effects ( as well as animations but I'm not that great at it).

Thanks

I believe that was just an error in the manual itself, rather than an actual weapon intended for the game. If you look closely, it's a Plasma Rifle overlapping a Needler in the background. I've never seen mention of it in the stock maps, although there is mention of a "Gravity Rifle," in some of the maps; a Covenant analogue to the Human sniper rifle that was scrapped before the game was released.

Oh ok. Didn't realize that the gravity rifle was gonna be a sniper rifle lol. Especially if it shot out flames. Though idk about the plasma rifle because bungie recently released renders of the concept art and scrapped stuff and their was a needled plasma rifle or what ever is called.

They have a lot of concept art of odd things, not all of which made it into the game itself. I've looked through most of the tags in the default maps pretty thoroughly, and I've never noticed it mentioned.

But if you want to make new textures, shaders and effects, the Gravity Rifle needs all of these things. It's also lacking first person animations, and could use a new projectile, seeing as how it shares one with the Flamethrower. Maybe have it fire a sticky projectile that detonates with a high-power/small-radius explosion after a second? I'd be interested in seeing how that turned out.

I believe I left a sort of finished version of the gravity rifle in internment_v2.2 but I can't be sure. It should be in weapons\gravity_rifle

I'm pretty sure the projectile just did no damage but pushed you into the air. Dunno though, it's been a few years since I made that map, hehe.

ok thanks guys for answering

lol im not gonna even try texturing a model with these uvws
