What Addons would you like to see for the MG and other weapons?

-Diesel-

<div class="IPBDescription">Come and post them in here</div>I personally would like to see a bayonet being an optional addon for the MG. When the enemies get to close you can push a button to stab them.

What would you like to see as an addon?

Brilig

Under the barrell grenade launcher with optional shot gun type rounds.

aNytiMe

A USB flashdrive for file storage.

We already have a shotgun.

Atone

A grappling hook which grabs airborne lerks and fades and pulls them hilariously back to earth.

Seriously, though, I'm not a big fan of gun addons, exept for basic red dot sights. I'm actually pretty disappointed that the grenade launcher is being turned into an attatchment.

Yes same.

I wanted it to be more stuff like....

Flashlights, dot lasers, bayonets, scopes... stuff like that.

SentrySteve

a small range teleporter, under the barrel of the pistol, that creates a mini wormhole where upon exiting the mini wormhole you are equipped with a riot shield (with 2 flashlights on the riot shield for added ambiance) and there's fog that is expelled from the mini-wormhole. Inside the fog a LMG is randomly dropped and you have to search for it to pick it up, however, while in the fog the skulks can't see or hear you. If a skulk enters the fog then he takes 1 damage every three seconds. Upon clearing of the fog the marine will stand (in a movie-like pose) with the riot shield slightly hanging off to the side and the LMG raised toward the ceiling. Aliens who look upon this pose have a two minute armor debuff due to being intimidated. The only counter to this would be if a gorge does a belly slide into the fog knocking any marines down to their knees.

The upgrade would cost 15 res to research.

ghost in the shell

I wana see flashlight like in L4D, were when you reload it gets all screwy and stuff.
Also, probably not going to happen but a baontet that only slashes were you look, so if you wanted to slash someone you would scroll ina shash line. if you were to stab a guy, you just run into him. like in real life.

In all actuality: I just want some kick ass animations ie: whack guy with butt of gun, whack with the side, kick him, stab, whack with the other side of the gun...

ljcrabs

Semi-seriously: blaster, plasma rifle, disc launcher, chaingun, ELF, laser rifle, grenade launcher, mortar.

Brilig

I get mine! What other confirmed addons are there? Or where can i find em?

Those ideas suck.


Lol.

A silencer.

homicide

A remote airstrike beacon that can be used to bombard onos if the marine holds the the lazer on the onos for 25 seconds. Also works for hives but takes 2 minutes. Kills hives and onos in one hit unless the hive is umbraed, then it takes 2 hits, but onos always takes 1 hit. When the ioncannon goes off there is a huge flash of light that blinds all the aliens in the area. Not marines...because their holographic visors block the light. It causes area damage also. The short blindness would only last for about 30 seconds. The airstrike is actually an ioncannon located on an orbitting spacecraft. Once marines call in the spacecraft alien lerks can fly over to the spacecraft and bite the window to get inside. It should take 45 lerk bites to break the glass. Once inside the lerks can kill the pilot of the ship and make is so marines cant use the remote ioncannon airstrike anymore after that. Also, aliens can put a 4th hive inside the orbitting spacecraft, so marines have to be careful. But, marines can still kill the spacecraft if it has a hive in it because it always have a phase gate inside it that cannot be killed. Marine's have to call in ANOTHER orbitting spacecraft, teleport to the original spacecraft, and use the ioncannon on the original spacecraft. There is a maximum of 7 orbitting spacecrafts and ioncannons at once. You can see the spacecrafts out of the window. Once marines have all 7 spacecrafts orbitting it allows them to call in plasma-cannon strikes that can destroy dynamic infestation in the entire area and map the lights bright. It also heals all marines when the plasma-cannon hits an area and gives them better vision that allows them to see farther. Also, the plasma-cannon makes it so aliens cannot leap, blink, charge, fly, or jump within the plasma-cannon area.

Subtle troll is subtle.

More seriously?
Gl addon sounds good. Flechette rounds for the MG would be cool even if shooting skulks around corners(because they hide in obvious places) would probably be the quickest way to be declared a "hacker".

MuYeah

I keep trying to think of new things you could add for all the weapons but honestly, apart from putting GL and MG into one to save time on modelling, I can't really see anything that needs adding to the weapons that isn't just gimmicky or removing parts of the commander/marine synergy which makes a lot of NS so much fun.
