Weapons that have multiple barrels ( Iron Curtain, Scattergun, ect. ) look terrible with this effect IMO.

A lot of the melee options do as well.

This effect was already in game, however Valve retired/removed it from current crates due to claims from individuals, making the effect crash the game. If this updated version fixes the issues it had before, Valve would definitely readd or reboot the effect in game. As of right now, the current unusual weapons with Energy Orb are extremely rare and very expensive. Since the removal, the effect is concidered very luxurious just like invasion effects.
Very nice work to Mr.Ghost for recreating and fixing the effect, hopefuly Valve would see this workshop submission!

Make energy orb great again, such a pretty effect shouldn't have been left for dead.
Woligi 18 Feb, 2018 @ 10:51am 
Yes!
spah 18 Feb, 2018 @ 9:58am 
damn
Crabby 18 Feb, 2018 @ 4:04am 
I love how the edge of the melee weapons look. An alternate look of the effect for melee weapons is a really good Idea.
NightRaid 18 Feb, 2018 @ 3:12am

Kleadron 17 Feb, 2018 @ 10:50pm

How so? I'm curious, I had never heard of that problem before.

The case system with one effect bound to one weapon prevented them from becoming commodities."

The case system that generated skins prebound to a weapon model was a terrible concept. It generated piles of unwanted weapons, especially SMGs, that no-one had any use for, or made people unbox weapons for classes they didn't play. The player community begged Valve to change it. If you are seriously calling for a return to the outdated Gun Mettle/Tough Break decorated weapon system, you must be the only one in the world. A weapon skin with a shitty texture or a wear grade that makes it look like trash will always be worthless, even if it is Unusual. All the old system did was generate Unusual SMGs or worn trash skins that were unsellable.

Jack the Affiliate wrote: "Thanks to unusual warpaints, every single unusual weapon effect apart from Energy Orb has become inflated to the degree that they're almost worthless anymore. There should be at least one effect that retains value"
Wrong. The reason that old Unusual decorated skins have lost value is that the Gun Mettle skins looked pretty terrible and now we have better skins available, not because more weapons with effect X exist globally overall.
Energy Orb won't lose value. Shitty skins will.
Knusperfrosch 15 Feb, 2018 @ 4:14pm 
Very nice work! I hope Valve will consider bringing Energy Orb back!

Nitpicks:
* The effect on the Iron Bomber looks oddly underwhelming, compared to the effect on similarly shaped weapons like stickybomb launcher and grenade launcher where it envelops almost the entire length of the weapons. Is it just a bad showcare picture?
* On the Disciplinary Action the effect seems to be applied only to the top bit, not all along the shaft as well. Why?
* I think the showcase is missing pictures for medigun and crusader's crossbow?
PorQpine215 15 Feb, 2018 @ 2:52pm 
I think the iron bomber needs the unusual to be placed a little better, but other than that, very delicious unusuaal effect.
