DietPepsi.4371 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Thank you to the ArenaNET devs responsible for finally making Turl Sharptooth's Rifle available as the "Shiny Rifle". I'm grateful for such an intricate and understated design finally making it into the roster among a sea of over-the-top garish skins. Give the artist/s/modeler/s responsible my praise. XOXO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge.8724 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Looks like a lever action rifle, western style. I like that. Might go for it, my inner fallout new vegas fan wants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might go for it, my inner fallout new vegas fan wants it. One of the only rifle skins in the game that looks like it was designed by someone who understands how rifles work. It being lever action matches the rifle mechanics better than a musket does aswell (as do Bolt actions and Semi-autos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celldrax.2849 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 That's the only shiny I've unlocked thus far, though mainly because it matches my thief pretty well. The rest... eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancho.8750 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 It is actually ornate Winchester rifle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_rifle . Waiting for the M16 and Kalashnikov now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for the M16 and Kalashnikov now. Well, I wouldn't compare it to any real life lever-actions. Besides the fact it's a Lever Action rifle, it shares little similarity to the Winchester family of rifles. >! Namely: >! -The Shiny rifle has a greater distance between the magazine tube and barrel than the Winchester. >! -The main body/receiver are different shapes. >! -The "loading gate" of the Shiny rifle is on the bottom, not the right-hand side of the main body/receiver. >! -The shiny rifle has a more pronounced hammer than the Winchester. >! -The shiny rifle has a larger breach on the top of the main body/receiver. >! -The shiny rifle has a muzzle break. >! -The shiny rifle has a large housing for the finger lever screw, that is external to the main body/receiver. What's more important though: The fact that I can point out these tiny (screen-space wise) details, such as the position of the loading gate, or the fact that there is one in the first place, shows how much attention to detail the artist/s/modeler/s that made this put into it, which is a great deal more than is put into most of the other rifle skins in this game.

Jin.8501 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Will i get it if i spend 1500 gold? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a couple elder wood logs and normal quartz crystals. You **could** spend around 400(this is in the worse case scenario where you only get the wrong colors) to buy the djinn caches to get the essences instead of doing world bosses. You could also get the essences by raiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also get the essences by raiding. Thanks, i was confused since wiki said acquisition was from one of those djinn boxes. Then i saw that people opening thousands of boxes and not getting those weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostileskeleton.7364 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I've been wanting more rifle skins that actually look like rifles since I started playing deadeye. I am in the small group of people that actually like the cursed flintlock for what it is (even though the sound effects are too "pew pew" for me). While as a "shiny" skin this rifle is pretty disappointing IMO I appreciate the subtlety. I also really like the design of your charr. You don't have to have a million glowies to be "fashionable."

DietPepsi.4371 Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 > @"Jin.8501" said: > Will i get it if i spend 1500 gold? One of the easiest least grindy skins I've unlocked in a while. You just need an evening to do a few world bosses, and the aforementioned mats. Cost me 0 gold to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in the small group of people that actually like the cursed flintlock for what it is (even though the sound effects are too "pew pew" for me). I like the overall size and silhouette of the cursed 'flintlock', but the fact it lacks any working parts, breaches, sights*, or any other essential functional elements of a rifle, other than a magazine, really bothers me. That and the black smoke effect coming off the barrel. *self correction: The Cursed Flintlock does have a scope, but it's 'precursor', the Deadeye Rifle I believe it's called? Doesn't have any sights. >! note to self: _Stop double posting._ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanoEliteSixSixSix.8935 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Despite not usually being that big a fan of lever-action rifles, I will say that this is definitely one of the nicer rifles in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwiceDead.1963 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Does the Ultra Shiny variant have a unique projectile effect/sound? Got myself a leggy to get rid of the constant PEW PEW from Deadeye, but ended up with PIOUW PIOUW with The Predator instead so that wasn't much of an improvement.
