Rostovic Ciklon

Lore:

I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a

straight razor... and surviving.

An unwieldy precision rifle commissioned by the Red Army, the Ciklon was designed for long distance engagements based on lessons learned from the Soviet Occupation of Afghanistan. Rostovic approached the problem by modifying their base Kolac rifles to fire bullets with a larger powder load. To withstand this increased pressure, the barrel was replaced with heavier duty barrels sourced from Techtronika (as used in the SPT32 Grad). Additionally, the trigger assembly was modified to allow selective fire between semi-auto and full auto.

Gameplay:

gameplay wise, I took the Hypercritical and changed the iconic mod, it retains the increased knockdown force and crit damage, but instead of the existing effectors that buff the last shot in the mag, I took effects from the Osprey and the Headsman. Headshots increase  hipfire damage, accuracy, and reload speed. I also activated the scopeslot the Kolac/Hypercritical has!

Big change though is that this fully makes use of Seijax's Trigger Mode Control framework. What this means is that the Ciklon does not swap between trigger mods via the usual method of ADS swapping. Instead you set hotkey and manually toggle between semi auto and full auto modes.

Change Log:

• []v1. 1. 0 Tweaked stats a bit. Added penetration capability and 30% increase to Full Auto RoF. Expanded the list of equipable scopes. Can now be purchased from the weapon vendor by the motel in the Badlands.

  []v2. 0. 0 Major overhaul. There are now two versions of the rifle included. The HE round version and a silenced AP round version. The stats for the HE round version have been overhauled. While the dismemberment factor has been reduced, the stagger and wound chance has been increased along with a chance to incflict burn. I also gave it a new Iconic modifier that gives it the stacking buff from the O'Five as well as a modified version of the Scorch's ability such that attacking burning enemies will refund the round you just used. The AP round version retains the original headshot based ability. Otherwise the HE round has reduced armor penetration and headshot damage but increased crit damage while the AP round version is the opposite (and can pierce cover).

  Acquisition:

  CET codes are in the archive. You can also buy either version from the Badlands weapon vendor at the Sunset Motel.

  Known issues:

  Audio might be a little weird, I swapped the audio to the Overwatch's sound set so it will have a supressed firing event for the AP version. I haven't gotten to test it fully.

  Shout outs:
