Hellgate: London E3 Articles

LoadedInc has launched a new section dedicated to Hellgate: London, complete with a handful of articles covering various aspects of the demon-infested RPG. A snip from their Templar Report:

For a time one of my templars was armed with dual peace makers, and I had some fun with their firing rate. Both shot at the same pace, slightly faster then one shot per second, and one was usually enough to kill the level 2 and 3 zombies I was facing at the time. For that reason, it was a waste to shoot both guns at the same time, since both shots would hit the same zombie when just one would have killed it. I therefore shot one gun, then the other half a second later, and after that I just held down the mouse buttons to keep them both shooting. In this way I had one gun or the other firing every half second, and never wasted two shots on the same target, if one was enough to kill it.

It was also fun to synchronize the guns and obliterate single targets, and I’d often end battles by delaying one gun a second, then shooting them both at the same time, sending the last monster down like it had been low bridged, with a big splash of purple (spectral) energy left over its falling corpse. Combining different types of guns was also a lot of fun, with a Firestarter spewing a jet of flame in one hand, and a Flash Banger (Grenadier) throwing short-ranged grenades in the other.
