Dark Energy Dart

The Boltshot's charged shot fires a single projectile, a "Dark Energy Dart", that ignores a target's energy shield, passing right through without damaging it, while dealing just one hitpoint of headshot-capable damage to health.

Because of these unique properties, a charged headshot can kill any player, regardless of his shield level.  Even the mighty Overshield cannot protect a player from a lethal headshot because, in the eyes of the Dark Energy Dart, energy shields do not exist.

The unusual characteristics of the Dark Energy Dart lead to two very different outcomes depending on shot placement.  While a charged headshot is always lethal, a charged bodyshot does no damage to shields and virtually no damage to health, so it is essentially a missed shot.  Similar to how the Dark Energy Dart does not see shields, it does not see bodies either, only heads.

There is a minimum charge time required before the medium projectile speed Dark Energy Dart can be fired.  The minimum charge time yields a projectile that begins rapidly dropping once past close range.  The weapon can also be charged past the minimum charge time.  The maximum charge time yields a projectile that begins gradually dropping once past medium range.  The weapon will automatically fire a charged shot after a moment of being fully charged.
