Disclaimer:This is not a story, however this does relate to a story I'm writing. The information below is the changes that happened after the events of Gods Eater Burst. Hopefully, nothing below conflicts with the recently confirmed Gods Eater 2, but if it does, I'll continue the story as if they didn't conflict (I hope it doesn't come down to that). Most of what you will read below is upgrades in God Arc technology. For those who read my disclaimer on my chapters to my actual story, this will elaborate on the changes and the "oddities" of the newest God Arcs. If you don't care to read the changes below, but still wish to read the story, that's just fine.
God Arc development over the past few months
Date: August 21, 2071
- Gun Type Arcs now are shield compatible.
- For weight related reasons, the smaller and less powerful older model God Arcs are being brought back, such as the Pistol Arc (reasons explained below).
- As Pistol Arcs are much like a smaller Sniper Arcs, other small versions of weapons have been crafted, such as the SMA (Sub-machine Arc) for Assault Arcs and Hand Cannon Arcs for Blast Arcs.
- Upgrades to new type God Arcs have allowed for 2 blade weapons and a Buckler/SMA/Pistol/Hand Cannon attachment to be equipped. This is the weight factor that was mentioned before, since both blades will always be active, the weight of the god arc will be tremendous. Only a light weight side arm or buckler may be attached at this point. Any attachments heavier than the ones listed above have been proven to effect long term battle scenarios for the worse; due to fatigue.
Eg.
Short Blade/Long Blade/Buckler = Acceptable.
Buster/Buster/Hand Cannon = Acceptable, but pushing it.
Long/Buster/Assault = Unacceptable
- Long blade attachments that do not have any gun attachments will have a different method of using Impulse Edge. The force of swinging the blade will eject the bullet out of a shaft, hurling it outwards, given that the trigger is pulled before the swing. Requires practice to aim, and uses up more stamina than a regular Impulse Edge.
- Double gun, or even triple gun customizations are possible, but they have been disallowed, for the consumption of OP is too great. Even multiple God Eaters struggle to keep a single person with such a customization above critically low.
- The discovery of Rare-Type God Eaters also put light weight God Arcs to good use, since a Rare-Type is someone who is compatible with 2 God Arcs, without showing any side effects what-so-ever. Much like New-Type Custom Arcs, there is a weight limit to the Rare-Type arcs. Both God Arcs must be relatively light, since a 2 handed Gun Arc has poor aim with just one hand, or a Buster Sword Arc cannot be swung with just the strength of one arm. Short Sword Arcs, and the 3 Light class Gun Arcs can be placed on each hand, and one of the 2 Arcs may also have a buckler attachment. Buckler is optional, however it is strongly suggested.
Eg.
Left Hand – Short, Right Hand - SMA/Buckler = Acceptable
Left Hand – Short/Buckler, Right – Pistol = Acceptable
Left Hand – Buster, Right Hand – Blast = Unacceptable *note that this doesn't even have a shield, and it still exceeded weight restrictions.*
- Custom God Arcs beyond the listed above, as long as they follow the weight regulations, do exist and are used in missions. However, only few ever master these difficult God Arcs, since it's usually customized by someone, for themselves.
All God Arc Modules
Light Gun – SMA, Pistol, Hand Cannon
Heavy Gun – Assault, Sniper, Blast
Light Blade – Short
Heavy Blade – Long, Buster
- More close range weapons are in development. These new modules are said to come out in a couple months (Those who are knowledgeable about Gods Eater 2 should already know what I'm talking about).
