So some people are getting bored of guns similar to each other. Some guns I once loved were changed into a completely different gun. (starter pistol...) I even have some gun ideas that could be interesting to use. This thread is long but organized. Some of these guns may have been the same ideas as the others. If so, I'm just putting more detail into it.
1. (Dual) Speed Pistols
Freeze Rate:None
Power:Weak or Very Weak (depends on rate of fire)
Reload Freeze:Very tiny
Spread: Tiny
Clip size:small
Rate of fire: You decide. (I don't really care if it's fast or slow.)
Description: Guns to replace my before nerfed starter pistols/handguns. This I find a bit sad because those guns won't be balanced. I find that era needs a gun with no freeze. I used the throwing chopsticks which has no freeze. It was so much fun to use. But there is not one gun with no freeze. I put guns with no freeze into good use. Please at least add a pistol with no freeze at all. No freeze is the fun part for me.
2. Power pistol
Freeze Rate: very low or none
Power: About neo rifle damage (10 upgraded)
Reload freeze: Medium or low
Spread: Perfect
Clip size: small
Rate of fire: very very low
Description: If you like guns with no freeze but you don't like spammy guns, then this might be the one for you. Careful precision and high mobility makes the gun different from others. Learn to not spam and aim carefully. Precision is key. This is like neo rifle but with very low rate of fire, and a slightly bigger magazine.
3. Sniper Rifle
Freeze Rate:Quite long or neo rifle freeze
Power: Very high (about 15 damage)
Reload freeze: Long
Spread: Perfect
Clip size: 1 (must behave like the very old neo rifle)
Rate of fire: Bad
Description: People want a true sniper rifle in era. Neo rifle came in and behaved like one. But it sadly was underpowered. The clip got changed into 2 making it more like a rifle. We have a sniper rifle GFX....some where in this forums. It's very good. Good enough to be in era. Now the reloading can behave like the old neo rifle or you can reload manually. Fire 1 shot, retreat to safety, and hit the shooting pad to reload. Oh yeah, give the sniper rifle a scope. That's it's signature design.
4. Slug shotgun
Freeze Rate: Long
Power: Total damage is roughly pbp damage
Spread: Tight allowing longer distance shots
Reload Freeze: Very long
Clip size: 3 blasts
Bullets per shot: Maybe about 3
Rate of fire: Bad (or slightly better than sniper)
Description: This is like an alternative to the sniper rifle. So most shotguns are very good at close range. But this one is better at long range. I noticed the m3 is pure horrid. But what came into my mind is either making the pbp have tight spread, and behave this gun idea and make the m3 behave like a pbp. Or just make the m3 be like this gun idea I have above. M3 has lack of potential. A totally trashed out gun. M3 should have some sort of uniqueness to the other shotguns.
5. Grenade Launcher
Power:Weak (much weaker than frag grenades and artillery)
Freeze Rate: Huge or low
Clip size: 1-6
Rate of fire: Horrid (about power pistol rate of fire or even less)
Explosion radius: Large
Reload Freeze: Small or medium
Description: The grenade arcs like the frag grenades. But would it make it unbalanced? To balance it out, the rate of fire is pure bad and slow. Even slower than an artillery cannon. The power is much weaker giving it horrible damage per second. You can decide between frag grenades for good damage per second to attack over walls or use the weak grenade launcher. The benefit of this gun is that you don't have to keep buying frag grenades. This gun heavily suffers on main combat sparring. Make sure you have a secondary weapon to back you up.
6. Burst Rifle
Power: About 7 damage
Freeze Rate: Long
Spread: Tight
Reload Freeze: Medium or long
Clip size: 3-5
Rate of fire: Very Very Fast (the fastest fire rate in the game)
Description: Unleash 3-5 bullets within a second or less. It's like ak 47 but more freeze forcing you to use it as a covering fire method/blocking off paths. This gun can surprise people with burst damage. You must be firing this gun stationary. It is very ineffective firing this gun slowly in attempt to move while shooting. It's better to burst fire. This is like m-16/ak 47 but with burst fire. This gun uses auto fire. (It wouldn't be good if it was semi auto)
Bouns 7. Grapple Hook (I had a last second idea)
Power: Average or low
Freeze: Long
Description: This is not focused on being a weapon. Instead, this "gun" is used to drag you to walls at high speed. Fire this "gun" towards a wall. The projectile hook will then hit the wall and drag you towards that wall. There will be some range on this grapple hook to balance it out a bit. If the hook hits an enemy, they will be damaged. You decide if it should pull you towards the enemy or not. I'm unsure if this may come in handy. The projectile speed should be a bit faster. This can be used to get to places faster when basing or get you out of a dangerous situation.
Suggest your gun ideas here as well. Be fast so that I can update this. It cannot be updated after awhile. Your name can be mentioned as well with the gun idea. (If you want)
Note: I'm unsure if this is the right category to post this in. Feel free to move this into future improvements if you want.
