The '''Coilgun''' is an alternative [[:Category:Secondary weapons|secondary]] weapon for [[Engineer]]. It's a ~~sleek~~ laser pistol with a glass window revealing an energy coil inside.

The '''Coilgun''' is an alternative [[:Category:Secondary weapons|secondary]] weapon for [[Engineer]]. It's a futuristic laser pistol, made out of a slightly rusty blue-tinted metal, with a glass window revealing a yellow, glowing energy coil inside.

~~Though a relic of the past, the Coilgun still proves to be a helpful tool in~~ the [[~~Engineer~~]]~~'s arsenal. Unlike the pistol~~, the ~~Coil gun is an energy weapon that~~ fires laser projectiles~~, on contact they~~ deal ~~a consistent 25~~ damage ~~no matter the distance of the target~~. By holding ~~the alternate~~ fire ~~button a user can charge up the Coilgun's next shot and upon letting go it's fired off with more force~~, ~~the more a shot is charged the more accurate~~ it becomes and ~~the more damage it deals, a fully~~ charged ~~shot~~ can ~~deal 70~~ damage ~~at any distance~~.

Unlike the [[Pistol]], the Coilgun fires laser projectiles that can be charged to deal more damage. After holding primary fire for 1.5 seconds, its damage triples to 75, it becomes fully accurate, and its projectile speed increases by 60%. Fully charged shots can also ricochet up to three times off surfaces, with each bounce reducing its damage by 15.

~~The Coilgun's charged shot also allows the user ricochet the beam off walls, once the beam starts to ricochet it~~ will ~~bounce off 3 other surfaces until it burns out, however the shot~~ will ~~only do 60 points of damage. It's worth noting that charging the gun~~ for too long ~~will result in~~ the ~~weapon overcharging, causing it~~ to ~~explode~~. ~~When the Coilgun explodes~~ the user ~~takes 45 damage and is knocked~~ into the air, ~~this~~ can ~~however~~ be used ~~for increased mobility~~ if a jump ~~or crouch jump is timed right as the gun overcharges.~~

Charged shots will be weaker if released early and will explode if held for too long, dealing 60 damage to the user and up to 50 damage to any nearby enemies. Overcharges will also knock the user into the air, which can be used as an [[Jumping|explosive jump]] if timed correctly.

}}

== Trivia ==

* The Coilgun is loosely based off of the [[tf:Railgun (Classic)|Railgun]] from Team Fortress Classic. ~~That game~~'s ~~version did not have a ricochet function~~.

* The Coilgun is loosely based off of the [[tf:Railgun (Classic)|Railgun]] from ''Team Fortress Classic''.

* The Coilgun overcharge can actually deal up to 60 damage, but since this requires being physically inside an enemy player, this is unlikely to be achieved in normal gameplay.

* The Coilgun can randomly crit on an overcharge.

* The ragdoll disintegration from Coilgun kills was taken from the Pyro's [[tf:Phlogistinator|Phlogistinator]] in live ''TF2''.
