Personal welder almost like in ns1

<div class="IPBDescription">Just like the NS1 welder but a little different</div>Welder, just like in ns1.

repairs armor of team mates when used, has a respectable range of use and will be in slot #4 so pressing 4 will switch to it.

repairs MACs, and all buildings (perhaps this will be the ONLY way MACs are repaired?)

repairs ARC

repairs doors

repairs anything electronic that has a health bar, so that includes power nodes BUT

the personal marine welder CANNOT restore a power node, only macs can do that, although a welder can REPAIR only.

welders are the counter to webs as they melt them

I would like a net feature to the welder as a stepup from ns1.

i would like the welder to have a power supply that recharges itself, kind of what they have for the killing floor welder.

it repairs things but you can use it and then its power display will drop down slowly, it regenerates energy at a pretty slow rate.

THIS solves the problem NS1 had where you can have a heavy welders team and they would be unstoppable.

The welder will cost 20 player resources. YES jetpack+exo suits can use them? not sure but great if so.

the repair rate will be similar to the one from ns1?


the welder can be dropped and shared with G button.



This would be great, because of these awesome reasons:

this not only encourages but ENSURES teamwork will happen and squads will form because without two or more people the team will lose its armor and fail in combat with welders if alone.

this will be the method that can only repair MACs

this is great because a kind of support role of welding is always great.
