I'm sorry if this has been brought up before.

What is the closest weapon in CBT that would work as a Tesla Weapon crossover?

Just wondering for other games that us mechs....and tesla weapons what that would be in the CBT game universe.

It depends on which Tesla Weapon you mean. If it's Teslas "Deathray" that works with that thing he called "Teleforce" a Gauss Rifle would be equivalent, because Teslas idea was to accelerate a projectile inside a vacuum chamber with the help of electrostatic repulsion.

If you mean a weapon based on the Tesla Coil from C&C Red Alert it would be a combination of a PPC and a TSEMP.

A PPC with a capacitor! Charge it and blast 'em!

The Centurion system comes to mind as well.

Thank you for the responses.
I know how some Steampunk uses a Tesla as a weapon and just wanted a CBT related weapon-ish.

Wireless electrical bolt slamming into target: PPCs, TSEMP.
General electrical weapons: As above, plus Centurion system, Electric Discharge ProtoMech armor, Mech Tasers.
