Appearance
The 'Nova Helix' Pulse Revolver has the same viewmodel as the 'Nova Blaster' Pulse Revolver.
Gameplay
The 'Nova Helix' is a tier 2 sub variant gun to the 'Nova Blaster', it requires pulse ammo to fire; the gun requires 3 pulse pellets to fire a single shot.
Its primary fire shoots 2 small yellow pulse orbs that flow in a helix like formations. They have the capability to bounce once before dissipating.
Pros
Along with the 'Nova Blaster', the 'Nova Helix' is the only tier 2 weapon to have its shots bounce off of surfaces.
Despite being weaker in comparison to the 'Nova Blaster' the 'Nova Helix' can out DPS its original counterpart should the 2 orbs make contacts with zombies (and can fire .4 seconds faster i.e can fire a shot faster allowing easier panic fire).
The weapon itself has integrated pulse slow, allowing the user to focus on buying Pulse Amp and/or Cascade trinkets without additionally buying Pulse Rounds to supplement them.
Cons
The biggest drawback to the 'Nova Helix' is that the orbs form extremely large helix motions that can easily bounce off of walls or hit and break on props, making it unwise to be used in small hallway situations.
The gun has slow reload speed, making it unwise to be used in zombie group rushes.
