It may or may not have changed. I would say the beam would be different than the one on the phase rifle. What's sure is that the weapon will need balancing. It will either be OP or UP at first. _________________ You can't get better at aiming from the forums.

It's a secondary slot. Edit: It would be much more fun if it were a belt item, also the range should be 50-100% longer

The Shocklance is a close combat weapon that does extra damage if you strike someone in the back.

This weapon will be available for all classes in the secondary weapon slot.

It says "expect few hours of downtime" right on the launcher.

Thanks.
It may or may not have changed. I would say the beam would be different than the one on the phase rifle. What's sure is that the weapon will need balancing. It will either be OP or UP at first.

While I appreciate a discount on GOTY, as someone that has spent $70 on this game already, the prospect of spending MORE comes off as a slap in the face. To me it would be more fair to set it up as:

"If you spent more than 'X' on Tribes: Ascend before the patch, you get all current unlocks (excluding skins, voice packs, etc.) for free..."

This puts anyone getting GOTY at an advantage over people that have been playing the game for a while.
