The Energy Drill is a Heavy weapon released in the 14.0.0 update.
Description
It is a futuristic/laboratory themed weapon that shoots an energy drill particle when shooting. It deals very high damage when charged to the max, low fire/charge rate, high capacity, and decent mobility. This weapon has a fast reload speed and a very large area damage.
Appearance
The Energy Drill looks like a futuristic driller with an aquamarine energy beam protruding out, with 2 antennas above it. It has an overall futuristic look.
Performance
This weapon is a charge shot weapon, so the more the weapon is charged, the more capacity is consumed and the higher the damage. The particle that is a shot is a light blue energy drill particle with area damage and a medium bullet travel time.
When reloading, the clip is taken out from this weapon and is replaced by a spare one. It has no delay mechanics.
