Holosight Rifle

Item

Image holosightrifle.jpg
Description Midgard still haven't worked all the kinks out of this new, experimental rifle. The basic functionality is a bit clunky, but the sight is what they're really innovating on.

They've worked up some crazy holographic display that seems to almost predict where your targets will be. Staring at it too long gives you a wicked headache, though.
Type Weapon
Hidden Flags Rifle Weapon (non-automatic)
Effects +3 Ranged Power
Applies part of your Etheric Defense bonuses to Ranged Power

Sources

Zack's House of Coins, originally available in Season 14 for two unearthly coins.

Uses

Bonus Ranged Power

The part of Etheric Defense applied to range power depends on what you have equipped. With just the holosight rifle or just a solid gunman hologram equipped, you get Etheric Defense/3 (rounded up) in bonus Ranged Power. With both the holosight rifle and a solid gunman hologram equipped, you receive bonus Ranged Power equal to your Etheric Defense. Bonus Etheric Defense from sources like Lord of Nightmares or Shield Of Scales does not count for this purpose.

Item-Specific Techniques

Fighting with this item equipped and using Precise Shot as an opener gives you the Holographic Shot technique, if you know (Etheric Defense/4) or fewer instances of it already.

Using Holographic Shot with a scope equipped gives an instance of the Holosighting technique.

Interactions With Holograms

Defeating any holographic opponent with the rifle equipped gives:

You observe the last shreds of its energy dissipating through your rifle's scope. A strange notification pops up on your comm.

You found: gunman hologram

A dual laser is not required. You lose the original hologram win or lose. Having a solid hologram offhand equipped takes priority over the rifle converting the hologram to a gunman hologram.

Also enhances Words Of Light.
