Wanted to share an idea or two on new weapons I was thinkin of



Imagine, if you will, 3 Heat Cannons strapped together in a triangular shape as your secondary; Remove the charged shot, increase uncharged projectile speed slightly, and keep the tiny amount of splash. (The size of a single Heat Cannon projectile, uncharged) You should be left with a triple projectile secondary that fires 3 seperate projectiles in a triangular arrangement at a speed just slower than a TOW (As I imagine it, perhaps projectile speed needs to be increased more since you could easily miss at least one of your projectiles); Its a direct impact, non-hitscan secondary with a tiny splash to keep the foot-shots from original Heat Cannon relevant (Obviously, not as damaging as direct-hits) and still filling in a -small- gap in the secondary slot. With the right numbers for damage, speed, heat, and reload, I feel like this idea could fit very well in Hawken? Ideally, I see the projectile speed between a TOW and GL but maybe just as fast as TOW? That all kind of depends on the reliability of the accuracy of such a weapon. Similarly with damage, and heat but I imagine reload being faster than GL, slower than TOW




Another idea: Take the Spinfusor from Tribes, add a ricochet effect, and give it a timed lifespan before detonating. For those of you who dont know Tribes, imagine a GL that shoots frisbees. The disc would bounce off of any surface but detonate upon contact with any appropriate object (I.e., enemy/friendly mechs, turrets, or shields/blockades, etc). It would have a lifespan of 3-6 seconds? Testing would be required. Projectile speed would probably be around GL speed. Reload would be longer than a TOW and damage might be just a tad higher. Splash size would need testing but Id leave it around TOW size for starters?


Anyone else have any cool weapon ideas?

Well my ideas aren't nearly as thought out as yours but they could start putting out MECHs with Laser Type Weapons. They do have the bubble shield and that could be put to use more. We are talking about advanced machines hear so maybe Terminator style weapons aren't so far-fetched

I would like to see some heavy laser weapons. Start off with a laser sniper like mech?


Incinerator + Berzerker = Bae

Id be interested in a laser weapon but having a simple laser gun would be sort of redundant, AM SAR takes the sustained single fire slot, SLUG and either Sabot fill the need for sniping, sustained automatics are already existent...

Heres my take on a laser weapon:
A burst single-fire weapon, if youve played Star Wars Battlefront, projectile speed would be equivalent to that, just ever so slightly not hitscan. The fire rate would be just slower than a SLUG rifle. Direct impacts would deal a tad more damage than SlUG, due to the extra aim required, but also have the ability to hit the ground and deal damage in a small radius on the ground (Note: Not splash damage but ground AoE damage) for just a bit less pain than the SlUG dishes out. I imagine the energy blast somehow charging the ground due to materials in the planets surface that end up causing a small red electricity like effect wherever it lands, explaining the weapon and giving you something to imagine.

I would like to see AC (Autocannon) like weapons from MW or MA.  Large caliber slow firing slugs.

 

Gauss Cannons, maybe partical cannons.
