DMLR Rework — Marksman Laser Rifle

Custom primary for Mycopunk. A dual-mode marksman rifle that reads enemy anatomy and routes damage through it.

Tag the body. Cut the limb. Dump the pain into the heart.

Registered as its own gear slot — the vanilla Scout / DMLR is unchanged.

Core gunfeel

Baseline is a clean auto-DMR + hold-laser charge loop. Anatomy fantasy is opt-in through the upgrade grid.

Severance

Upgrades speak a shared vocabulary. The gun does not enable it for free.

Transfer prefers living shells and damageable cores — not limbs — and drills one outermost shell at a time before going deeper.

Build paths

Mix freely. Paths are identity, not hard locks.

Dissection — limb → core

Strip extremities and dump pain inward.

• Neural Feedback — limb damage transfers % to core (laser ≫ DMR)
• Overkill Conduit — limb-kill overkill multiplies and transfers inward
• Arterial Shred — +limb / −shell; Open Artery bonus laser transfer
• Joint Breaker — every 3rd DMR limb hit applies Decay
• Phantom Pain — bonus damage + charge refund vs regrown limbs
• Bleed Charge — limb hits generate bonus laser charge

Breach — shell → Expose → execute

Crack armor, open the core, dump the beam.

• Hard-Light Designator — shell kills Expose the core; laser on Exposed refunds charge
• Core Brand — DMR shell hits stack Brand; max stacks → next laser Exposes
• Pulverizer — +shell / −limb; shell hits splash inward
• Fault Line — repeated DMR hits on the same shell escalate damage
• Reactor Tap — core kills refund charge; Exposed cores also refund ammo
• Breach Charge — shell hits generate bonus laser charge
• Collapse Wave — shell kill emits a pulse scaled by shell max HP

Conductor — marks, arcs, clear

Paint packs, laser one body, clean the rest.

• Sympathetic Arc — laser on Marked parts arcs to nearby enemies
• Sympathetic Resonance — Marked damage echoes to other marks on that brain
• Voltaic Battery — reload throws an aim-battery blast with inward transfer
• Demonstrator's Trick — mode-switch empowers the next hit (spread Mark / heavy Mark)
• Triple Feed — DMR always Shock or Acid (rolled per mag)
• Rot Thread — every 3rd DMR shell hit applies Rot
• Marked Recycling — laser refunds DMR ammo on Marked or Exposed parts
• Elemental Emitter — laser applies rolled Shock or Acid
• Incendiary Laser — periodic fire wave along the aim path

Gunfeel staples

• Condensed Munitions — dump the mag in one shot; pierce scales with ammo spent
• Long Scope — reverse falloff (damage rises with distance) on DMR and laser
• Overheated Capacitor — laser damage ramps the longer the beam is held
• Gravitational Collapse — with Laser Hover, laser pulls enemies toward aim
• Plus ported staples: Hot Swap, Aux Reserves, Laser Hover, grid expanders, and other vanilla DMLR economy cards as independent copies

Notes

• Client-side mod; vanilla Scout / DMLR pool is not modified
• Upgrades are deep-copied onto Marksman via CreateUpgrade (mod GUID + id offset)
• Unlock and level persist across relaunch
• Designed for mid–long range precision / anatomy play — not pure spray clear without Conductor investment

Changelog

1.0.0

First stable release of the Marksman Laser Rifle — a full dual-mode DMLR rework with the Severance anatomy framework.

Weapon

• Independent primary gear slot (dmlr_rework) — vanilla Scout / DMLR untouched
• Fully automatic DMR, ADS disabled, hold-aim (RMB) laser discharge
• ~20 DMR hits to full laser charge; reload never mode-toggles
• Hot Swap input handling (role/priority flip, empty-mag idle fixes)
• Persistence: unlock, level, and equipped upgrades survive relaunch

Severance framework

• Shared runtime for Mark, Expose, and Transfer
• Transfer destinations prefer shells and damageable cores (never limbs)
• Drill-path transfer: focus one outermost shell, then inward on that breach
• Skip shell-gated cores until a living shell is cleared
• Re-transfer guard so transferred hits do not chain forever

Dissection path

• Neural Feedback — limb damage transfers % to core (laser > DMR)
• Overkill Conduit — limb-kill overkill multiplies and transfers inward
• Arterial Shred — +limb / −shell; Open Artery bonus laser transfer
• Joint Breaker — every 3rd DMR limb hit applies Decay
• Phantom Pain — bonus damage + charge refund vs regrown limbs
• Bleed Charge — limb hits generate bonus laser charge

Breach path

• Hard-Light Designator — shell kills Expose the core; laser refund on Exposed
• Core Brand — DMR shell Brand stacks; max → next laser Exposes
• Pulverizer — +shell / −limb with inward splash
• Fault Line — repeated DMR hits escalate damage on the same shell
• Reactor Tap — core kills refund charge; Exposed also refunds ammo
• Breach Charge — shell hits generate bonus laser charge
• Collapse Wave — shell-kill pulse scaled by shell max HP

Conductor path

• Sympathetic Arc — laser on Marked parts arcs Shock to nearby enemies
• Sympathetic Resonance — Marked damage echoes on other marks on that brain
• Voltaic Battery — reload throws aim-battery blast + inward transfer
• Demonstrator's Trick — mode-switch Mark empower (spread / heavy Mark)
• Triple Feed — DMR always Shock or Acid (rolled per magazine)
• Rot Thread — every 3rd DMR shell hit applies Rot
• Marked Recycling — laser refunds DMR ammo on Marked or Exposed parts
• Elemental Emitter — Shocking + Corrosive merge into one rolled Shock/Acid laser
• Incendiary Laser — periodic fire damage wave along the aim path

Gunfeel & staples

• Condensed Munitions — dump mag in one shot; pierce + charge scale with ammo spent
• Long Scope — reverse falloff on DMR and laser
• Overheated Capacitor — laser damage ramps with continuous beam time
• Gravitational Collapse — with Laser Hover, laser pulls enemies toward aim
• Remaining vanilla DMLR upgrades port as independent copies (Hot Swap, Aux Reserves, Laser Hover, economy cards, etc.)
• Vanilla Scout upgrade pool is never modified

0.6.0

• Phase 1C Conductor path:
  • Sympathetic Arc (ArcLightning): laser on Marked arcs Shock to nearby enemies
  • Sympathetic Resonance (Elemental Recycling): Marked damage echoes on same brain
  • Collapse Wave (Hot Exhaust): shell-kill pulse × shell max HP
  • Voltaic Battery v2 (Tosser): reload throws aim-battery blast + inward transfer
  • Demonstrator's Trick v2 (TosserTwo): mode-switch Mark empower (not flat dmg buff)
  • Hard-Light Designator moved to Shield Piercing slot

0.5.2

• Hot Swap: empty DMR mag no longer auto-starts laser with no buttons held (hard idle when Fire/Aim released; poll real input; clear forceEnableFire on empty)

0.5.1

• Hot Swap: laser only while LMB held with charge — no sticky laser after DMR
• Phantom Pain: track killed limb ids/names (not brains) so sibling limbs aren't "regrown"
• Triple Feed: stamp GunData.damageEffect so Photon Disc / shared systems see the element
• Elemental Emitter: Shocking + Corrosive Laser merge into one rolled Shock/Acid laser
• Incendiary Laser kept as separate fire-wave upgrade

0.5.0

• Phase 1B: Mark plumbing + anatomy upgrades
  • Joint Breaker: every 3rd DMR limb hit applies Decay
  • Rot Thread: every 3rd DMR shell hit applies Rot
  • Fault Line, Reactor Tap, Core Brand, Phantom Pain
  • Bleed Charge, Breach Charge, Marked Recycling, Triple Feed rename

0.4.4

• Transfer drill path: focus one outermost shell (weakest), sticky until dead, then inward on that breach only — does not clear every shell on a layer before going deeper

0.4.3

• Transfer playtest debug (SeveranceSystem.DebugTransfer=true): BepInEx log lines + cyan floating "XFER" text on destination + health outline pulse on shell/core

0.4.2

• Transfer destination: never pick limbs (parent walk was foot→leg). Prefer shell, then damageable core, then shell-under-core; skip limb segments entirely

0.4.1

• Transfer destination: skip shell-gated cores (vanilla ignores core hits until a shell dies); dump inward into living shell/parent instead so Neural Feedback / Overkill Conduit / Pulverizer splash work before the core is exposed

0.4.0

• Severance v2 foundation: Mark/Expose/Transfer runtime (SeveranceSystem)
• Neural Feedback (Autocycler slot): limb damage transfers % to core (laser > DMR)
• Arterial Shred (Shredder slot): +limb/−shell; Open Artery bonus laser transfer
• Pulverizer rewrite: +shell/−limb + inward splash toward core
• Overkill Conduit (Energy Regeneration slot): limb-kill overkill transfers inward
• Hard-Light Designator (ArcLightning slot): shell kill Exposes core; +dmg + laser charge refund
• Unmapped vanilla upgrades still port as fillers

0.3.3

• Condensed Munitions: laser charge scales with ammo spent (20-dump → 20× laserChargeOnHit on hit)

0.3.2

• Condensed Munitions: stop double-Kill NRE (disable PierceTargets when budget spent; never Kill from hooks)
• Long Scope: reverse falloff also applies to laser (set range before laser early-return)

0.3.1

• Condensed Munitions: real target pierce (PierceTargets + multi-pierce budget), not bounce
• Long Scope: explicit reverse falloff curve (5→55m, damage rises with distance)
• Gravitational Collapse: IPullable.AddImpulseForce_Client pull (no transform teleport / no kill)

0.3.0

• Remaining design-doc rewrites:
  • Shredder: laser periodically applies Decay
  • Demonstrator's Trick (TosserTwo): mode-switch temporary damage buff
  • Gravitational Collapse (Sturdy): with Laser Hover, laser pulls enemies to aim
  • Condensed Munitions (DmrDmg): dump mag in one shot; pierce per 10 ammo
  • Incendiary Laser: periodic fire damage wave along aim path

0.2.3

• Overheated Capacitor: apply ramp via ModifyContinuousBulletDamage (laser freezes BulletData at beam start)

0.2.2

• Wave 2 simpler rewrites:
  • Tainted Exhaust (Hot Exhaust): DMR kill explosion
  • Pulverizer: every 3rd DMR shot applies Rot
  • Triple: DMR always Shock or Acid (rolled)
  • Long Scope: reverse falloff (damage ↑ with distance)
  • Overheated Capacitor (LasDmg): laser dmg ramps with beam airtime

0.2.1

• Voltaic Battery (Tosser rewrite): every 3rd DMR shot + ~50% of laser damage
• Upgrade port defers until PlayerData/GearData ready (fixes CreateUpgrade NRE)

0.2.0

• Phase 2 wave 1: port vanilla DMLR upgrades onto Marksman Laser Rifle as independent copies
• Deep-copied properties + hex patterns via CreateUpgrade (vanilla Scout pool unchanged)
• Upgrade ids = vanilla NumberID + 50000 under mod GUID sparroh.dmlrrework

0.1.0

• Phase 1: Marksman Laser Rifle custom primary (clone of ScoutLaserRifle / DMLR)
• Automatic DMR fire
• ADS removed; hold aim (RMB) discharges laser
• Both buttons held: laser wins (default); with Hotswap, DMR wins
• Laser charge fills in 20 DMR hits (matches default mag)
• Hold-R no longer toggles mode (reload stays reload)
• Independent gear slot — vanilla Scout/DMLR untouched
