Screenshot of the Week: The net gun and futuristic “root” attacks

This week’s featured Tabula Rasa Screenshot on the NCSoft official website, shows off the effect of firing a Net Gun – presumably one of the weapons in-game – on a hapless individual. We say hapless because if you take the time to look carefully, you’ll be able to notice that the target is already “netted” or rooted to the ground.

The shot shows the FX of the projectile as the “net” travels towards the intended target.

We don’t have to go into a history of “entangling roots” – esque attacks and how it’s so beneficial to combat in MMOs and RTS games. Especially in this game, where FPS elements are included. It seems that not being able to run and shoot is always a prelude to a painful death.
