The '''Machina''' ({{pronounce|ˈmɑːkiːnə}} or {{pronounce|ˈmækɨnə}} {{respell|MAH|kee-nə}}<ref>''Random House Dictionary''</ref>) is a [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Weapons#sniperprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Sniper]].

While this weapon deals identical [[damage]] to the default Sniper Rifle, it cannot be fired unless the player is utilizing the scope. Attempting to fire the weapon unscoped will cause a "click" sound effect in addition to sparks being emitted from the rifle's muzzle, at no cost to the player's ammo. A fully charged shot fired by the Machina delivers an extra 15% damage, can pierce through multiple enemies, and has a distinct firing sound. [[Building]]s cannot be penetrated; they can be damaged by shots that have penetrated players, but the shot will not penetrate any further. As a drawback, each shot fired has tracer rounds, leaving a faint team-colored trail in the air for a few seconds which, in turn, notifies enemies of the Sniper's position.

The '''Machina''' ({{pronounce|ˈmɑːkiːnə}} or {{pronounce|ˈmækɨnə}}; {{respell|MAH|kee-nə}}<ref>''Random House Dictionary''</ref>) is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Weapons#sniperprimary|primary weapon]] for the [[Sniper]]. It is based on the [[wikia:w:c:deusex:Longsword 202 ERASER|Longsword 202 ERASER]] from the video game ''[[Deus Ex: Human Revolution]]''; a futuristic {{botignore|sniper rifle}} with a fluted barrel and a soft grip.

Compared to the [[Sniper Rifle]], a fully charged shot fired by the Machina deals 15% more damage and can pierce through multiple enemies. [[Buildings]] cannot be penetrated; they can be damaged by shots that have penetrated players, but the shot does not penetrate any further. However, the Machina cannot be hip-fired at all; attempting to fire the weapon without scoping in causes the rifle's muzzle to spark, accompanied by a "click" sound effect, at no cost to the player's ammo. In addition, the Machina is loaded with tracer rounds, which leave a faint team-colored trail for a few seconds when fired, potentially revealing the Sniper's position to the enemy team.

The Sniper on piercing rounds

The Machina (/ˈmɑːkiːnə/ or /ˈmækɨnə/; mah-kee-nə[1]) is a community-created promotional primary weapon for the Sniper. It is based on the Longsword 202 ERASER from the video game Deus Ex: Human Revolution; a futuristic sniper rifle with a fluted barrel and a soft grip.

Compared to the Sniper Rifle, a fully charged shot fired by the Machina deals 15% more damage and can pierce through multiple enemies. Buildings cannot be penetrated; they can be damaged by shots that have penetrated players, but the shot does not penetrate any further. However, the Machina cannot be hip-fired at all; attempting to fire the weapon without scoping in causes the rifle's muzzle to spark, accompanied by a "click" sound effect, at no cost to the player's ammo. In addition, the Machina is loaded with tracer rounds, which leave a faint team-colored trail for a few seconds when fired, potentially revealing the Sniper's position to the enemy team.

A successful penetration kill, where a fully charged shot penetrates an enemy to kill another enemy behind them (regardless of whether the enemy in front dies), triggers a unique fanfare sound effect audible to every player on the server, similar to the sound effect made by obtaining an achievement.

The Machina was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Deus Ex: Human Revolution on Steam before August 26, 2011.

Bugs

  • Occasionally, the tracer round stops around an enemy target despite the shot not registering as a hit.
  • When firing under the effects of damage recoil, the Machina may appear to fire two bullets: one bullet firing towards the intended target, and the other firing a few degrees higher at a diagonal angle out of the barrel. This may be caused by the Machina's particle effect. The second shot deals no damage and costs no ammo.
    • This also applies if the players are standing on a moving object such as the Payload Cart or a Train.
  • In the event of a penetration-kill killing more than 2 players at once, the fanfare sound effect stacks for each additional kill.
  • By firing a fully charged shot behind a teammate, the Machina incorrectly registers a penetration-kill when killing an enemy player. The unique penetration kill icon is shown and the sound effect is played for everyone on the server.

Trivia

  • The item's name is based on the phrase Deus ex machina (Latin for "God out of the machine"), a term used to describe a convenient plot device that appears out of nowhere, usually to instantly solve a difficult problem.
    • This phrase is also used as the namesake for the Deus Ex series of video games that the Machina originates from.
