Added 2020-04-26 09:30:14 +0000 UTC

Additional reference material to go with the images that was revealed in High Roller: Scaling Guide , High Roller: Scaling Reloaded and High Roller: Approaching Functionality .

The following is the conceptual description that was drawn up at the start of the modelling process, this formed the basis of the ryder on what we originally hoped to achieve. It should be kept in mind that revisions may occur going up to the final implemented version and so it could almost be considered a three part process.

Prototype High Roller -> Initial Concept Model High Roller -> Implemented High Roller

Initial Idea Prototype Description (Pre-Model)

MELEE: x1 Black Iron Switch Blade

A massive two-handed blade made from compressed black iron.

LASER: x1 Shoulder Mounted Particle Cannon

A powerful mounted particle cannon effective against even medium-sized ships, as long as they are not shielded.

PULSE: x1 Switch Blade Pulse Gun

The Black Iron Switch Blade can also transform it into a pulse gun. Rapid fires a stream of plasma bolts. Effective at cutting through the armor of bomber ryders. However, shields reduce their use.

MISSILE: x20 Itano Missiles, 1 Refill

Powerful and fast moving missiles which lock onto a single target. More difficult to shoot down with assault weapons. They output heavy damage, but cannot target multiple enemies at once.

ASSAULT: x1 Auto Rifle

Fires a stream of fast moving ballistics. Useful against ryders and missiles. Ineffective against armor.
