The "Fluence" Ion Burst Cannon

This swep runs off of the TFA Swep Base. The base is paired with the download of this weapon for good reason; Failure to do so may result in strange bugs, such as not being able to fire the weapon, not being able to move, and so on. In the case that TFA IS present and the weapon continues to not work, consider clearing out any possible conflicting addons that may be tampering with the TFA base.

The "Fluence" Ion Burst Cannon was a top-secret Combine weapon that utilized a miniature core to create bursts of deadly energy. At least, until it was found by the Rebellion.

A while back, a rebel group raided the now-abandoned City 23 Citadel. From the information given to us, City 23 was a weapons testing zone. Refugees would commonly refer it to as "Genocide City", from the constant shellings, mortar strikes, and raids. After the evacuation of City 17, the resistance there got a major boost and managed to overthrow the authorities. Hidden deep inside their Citadel was a prototype ion cannon, possibly to be replicated en masse and to irradiate the remaining citizens, named the "Fluence", a pun on the radiant exposure from the core, otherwise known as "Radiant Fluence". So what happened to the cannon that should have been dismantled and destroyed?

They sent it to us, the mass weapons developer and distributor to thousands of people. Want to know how to use it?

To install, just hit "Subscribe" and the addon will automatically download. Once in game, you can find these in the "Babel Industries" tab in the Weapons section of the Q Menu, or whatever it's called nowadays.

The map is officially known as gm_babeltest. It's a majorly-improved version of my old map, gm_sweptest. Currently, I don't feel as if it's ready for public use just yet. For now, I'm just using it for videos.
