| “ | Despite a primary reliance on powerful Psionic attacks, the Chosen Warlock does fall back on an unusual rifle unlike any wielded by more conventional forces of ADVENT. Our soldiers will no doubt be eager to try this new trophy. | ” |
Project Report[]
| “ | Codename: Ersatz
The Elders’ Chosen Warlock, perhaps their most powerful Psionic command unit, fielded a number of potent abilities to gain physical control over those he was sent to pursue. However, as with most who find themselves in the throes of battle, when all else failed, the Warlock would return to the conventional and strike with this relatively nondescript rifle Despite an increase in size owning to the Chosen’s physical stature, the weapon itself is deceptively light in weight and delicate in balance. Although it would appear to fire the standard ADVENT round, there is an unexplained variance in effective range that I can so far only attribute to an unknown material lining the weapon’s barrel. Although it is unlikely we would be able to accurately replicate the weapon in its entirety, I have authorized continued field trials to the indulgence of our troops. Even if the results yield no further research benefit, they will no doubt enjoy turning this weapon against the aliens who crafted it. -R Tygan |
