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 energy coil inside. The coil is yellow, and the metal is tinted blue, regardless of which team the user is on.
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.


Unlike the pistol, the Coilgun fires laser projectiles instead of bullets. The tip of the laser will always be orange, while the train will always be team-colored. By default, holding the primary fire button shoots a series of low-damage lasers that disappear on contact. When they hit a target, they deal 25 damage regardless of distance. By holding the alternate fire button, a user can charge up the Coilgun's next shot, up to 1.5 seconds, increasing its damage up to 75, its accuracy up to 100%, and its projectile speed by 1.6 times. A charged shot can be released early for increased damage, accuracy, and projectile speed, scaling linearly between 0% charge and 100% charge. Any charged shot, regardless of percentage, will delay the user's next Coilgun shot.
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.


A fully charged shot will also ricochet the beam off walls. The beam will ricochet three times until it disappears, reducing its base damage by 15 for each ricochet. In addition, the gun can be charged past its maximum amount, up to 3 seconds. Charging the gun for too long will result in the weapon overcharging, causing an explosion at the user's position. When the Coilgun explodes, the user takes 60 damage and deals up to 50 damage to any enemies nearby. The user is also knocked into the air, which can be used as an explosive jump if timed correctly. This allows the Engineer to get to positions that would otherwise be impossible.
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.

* 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.
