Blue phasers from Disco S2?

Was expecting them with the Disco Rep, but I dont see them. Are we going to get the blue phasers from the show seen in the last episode? Both Discovery and Enterprise were firing them. Also the red photon used by the Enterprise.

They are almost identical to the ToS phasers, but the sound is a little lower and the beams are I guess for lack of a better word, updated?

    I'm actually surprised that there doesn't appear to be any Discovery related weapons in the new Rep other than set pieces. All of the box drops seem to be consoles.

    Discovery Weapons are lock box.. they're not going to give them away in a reputation. :disappointed:
    Insert witty signature line here.

    There called Covert phasers, so far not to terrible expensive on the exchange.

    I thought those were the red/orange ones the Section 31 ships were shooting?

    The Sensor-linked and Emitter-linked ones are lockbox. But they give a Disco phaser beam array as a mission reward that you can grind for. Same stats as normal phasers.

    Do they have the same visual effect as the Emitter/Integrity/Sensor linked?

    Outside of the Sensor Linked, the only real selling point is the cool visuals. The T6 ships from the DSC era have scaling common versions.. they're pretty cool for leveling up, but obviously aren't a real end game possibility.

    Yep, same visual effect, just not as good as the Emitter or Sensor versions from the lockbox.

    oh could be. i bought some just to test them out, but i already had blue and orange beams on the ship, so i just figured, could be wrong.

    Yeah, just looked up a video on them. They are the orange/red ones used by Section 31 ships. Not the blue ones. :/

    They probably hadn't seen that episode when the rep was finalized, there's aspects of season 2 of discovery that the Cryptic team didn't know until they saw it themselves, they explained it in the latest stream (referring to why their DSC winter jacket looks different then the one worn by Pike).

    These things take time after all and there was probably no time to make a new set of phasers in time for the launch, they might come with the DSC connie when it comes though.
