Question about increased magazines
« on: September 08, 2021, 12:40:48 AM »

Does it impact the burst size of weapons such as the Thumper ?
I can't quite tell

Nope but it probably will in the next update judging by the Alex tweet a while ago showing that Thumper will have 3 charges of the burst.

Then I've been thinking, should the Ion Pulser be made to work like the thumper for simplicity's sake ?

Why? That would be horrible since you'd be forced to unload the entire burst that instant. I can imagine it would also be harder for AI to use well.
