One Shots: And the rocket's red glare

I searched high and low for an old Tabula Rasa screenshot for my turn at the One Shots helm today, but hooking up old hard drives did not sound like a fun morning to me. So I've decided to show off my new bazooka (that I'm borrowing from the clan) on my Fallen Earth character, Ampersand.

I'm a huge fan of the guns in Fallen Earth, and this Omega Arms Valkyrie will literally blast your face off. It looks a bit odd on a scrap-armored CHOTA, but I'm willing to break immersion to melt some faces.

All this week, we Massively writers are spotlighting some of our personal favorite One Shots. What exciting stories revolve around our screenshots? Stay tuned to find out. Next week, after staff picks week, will be free-for-all week for you, our readers. Send any eye-catching, beautiful, scary, or generally epic screenshot to oneshots@massively.com, and we'll pick the best of the best for next week's One Shots!

Awesome screenshot! Love Fallen Earth's armor, weapons and scenery, the city's and towns are well done too.

Nice shot, but that looks more like a flamethrower than a bazooka?

@real65rcncom Nope, it's definitely a bazooka. It falls under the new "Heavy Weapons" category they introduced with the last patch and shoots rockets. But yeah, I know what you mean, with the side vents on the barrel.

Cool armor and bazooka. Can't wait to play FE when it comes F2P.

Am I the only one thinking that this looks like Scorpion from mortal combat with a nade launcher!

@Wic I was thinking Shredder from Ninja Turtles with a bazooka. I think we can both agree that whether he's scorpion or shredder, he's pretty badass

@Wic I imagine him yelling "GET OVER HERE!" and spearing some poor schmoe.

@storm & joe

Oh man thats way back for me shredder hehe.

And storm yep I reckon the FE devs could actually make that happen lol.

Care to explain Ampersand's name? I'm curious.

@(Unverified) I'm a huge English/grammar nerd and for a while there, I named all of my characters after interesting language symbols. Ampersand's horse's name is Umlaut, for example :)

Nice shot. I have been playing FE for two months now and still amazed and mesmerised by it's bleak beauty. Great game!

I've been playing FE for a few months now myself and have to agree with Oponon, scenery is awesome, and sunsets are just beautiful. Great game with a great community!
