Why tesla guns are so extremely rare in FPS videos games?

[Pr.Jitterskull - best bug fixer]

There barely any video games that actually have gun that shoot realistically behaving continous stream of lightning/electricity. The only few games I know are both of Return To Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein mafe by Raven.

The lightning balls are also extremely rare thing in video games. The only I know are Dystopia mod and Dark Messiah of Might and Magicultiplayer, in which the Mage class had awesome and fun to use Lightning Sphere magic spell.

What about you? Which games you know that have tesla/lightning weapons, which actually shoot realistically behaving chaotic electricity that is attracted to living creatures, and electric balls that also zaps everything it passes nearby, instead of just boring lame laser-like behavior such as quake 1/3 had?

Jak 3 had a "realistic" tesla gun.

As for lightning balls, all I can think of is Darkspore which is a game EA murdered. I'm sure there's others I'm forgetting though.

Edit: Jak 2 and 3 also had ball lightning guns.

From what I remember, Jak doesn't really have first person mode.

And once I googled Darkspore, it seems to be an even top down game.

Evolve and Alien Swarm both have Tesla guns that shoot continuous streams of lightning. The former is dead though.

Well I need to learn how to read because I'm pretty sure this is the second time this has happened with one of your comments.

Anyway, I recall playing a UT99 mod called "PSI weapon dreams" which had a realistic lightning gun. That's the best I've got sadly.

Technically the Tesla Rifle in 76 is the one added in the Fallout 4 DLC.

And it's a damn sweet one.

If you want a good tesla gun, go find the Wunderwaffe from Call of Duty Zombies.
