Post Game Joke Rifle
Will: One of the more crazy ideas we had for Artificer's campaign was to allow them to find the joke rifle post-game.
Will: We were likely going to alter it to be some kind of mass accelerator that the
scavengers had stolen. Similar to their abuse of the power cells, or their electric spears.
Will: However, this concept eventually died out over the course of development. A lot of the more wild ideas of
MSC were slowly reigned in, and some ideas were dropped entirely due to their conflicts with the official lore.
Will: In the end, we decided to unlock the joke rifle for arena by moving it to challenge mode, as a small nod to this phase of development.
