this would be a simple blessing im proposing but a interesting one that would make it so the helbore doesnt need to charge to do full charge shots BUT this comes with the drawback that such quick charge rates means each shot builds up heat which disapates faster or slower based on your charge rate stat which if you overheat it, you take damage and get stuck holding it as it cools down again almost working like a faster less dangerous version of a plasma gun but also still not being as overly strong and overwhelming making the helbore almost become a solid fast swap one shot stick to pull out quick and drop a small rager horde or take out a distant bomber or gunner or sniper without much trouble but being far more limited on how quickly you can use it as it can only shoot so much before it overheats.
That’s basically one of the lower damage helbores with the fast charging blessing.

basically but with the fun overheat mechanics that make it more interesting than annoying firing speed limitations cause idk about you but i far prefer instant fast shots but with danger if i over use it too much versus standing there for like a full second or more for the first like 3 shots and than having to move ads speed while chain firing shots without stopping because if i do, i loose all the speed i built up and go back to the like 1.8 to upwards of like 3 seconds of charging before a full power shot again.
also it wouldnt be lower damage, it would make each one do FULL damage that each one can do making them always fire as if they were fully charged but it simply is a matter where based on the damage they do, they built up heat faster or slower with the least damage builds up heat the slowest and vents it the fastest but obviously has a notable degree less damage.
yeah look just use the plasma gun instead of making the helbore a worse plasma gun
also you vastly overstate the charge times
The 2nd Mark needs to stab =(
I think all single shot rifles need a lil more umph to their headshots
I want to agree on this one because of how much I love the helbore, but honestly if it had no downside to one hitting reapers 20 times in one magazine it would be worse than the plasma gun. Especially with the ammo economy. The third variant has almost as much damage, charges quicker, and still has the stab bayonet, so it’s a pretty good compromise in that area.
