Pimping the EXOS!

kespec

As you all know the exo suit with claw is somewhat useless, considering that it costs 50res without any mobility, lack of firepower etc etc.

here is my solution; lets make 50 res exo a gateway for further exo types,here what i mean:

when you buy the exo suit with 50 res, there will be options to change the claw with following weapons; similiar to marines buying weapons from armory.

25 res flame thrower, replaces the claw with flamethrower now you can shoot and cook at the same time.
20 res shotgun or an exo equilevant of shotgun, the claw is replaced with a shotgun
25 res second minigun, replacing the current dual-mini gun upgrade.
20 res grenade launcher, claw is replaced with a grenade launcher HURRAY!
25 res shield, claw is replaced with a shield, armor is multiplied
5 res welders, claw is replaced with welders now exos can repair each other!!!!!!11 just kidding!

bear in mind that you can of course only choose one type of weapons listed above.

each weapon should be researched through prototype lab as dual miniguns are researched today.

you may think that but the claw exo is still useles?? correct but this way people will actually buy the claw exo. no one buys it! lol!

thanks for reading!

Personally I just want that Claw to have the same effect as an Onos stomp.
It will knock down an alien including an onos if the punch connects.
That would be more then enough to make the Claw Exo justified

I personally enjoy the claw. Slapping skulks out of the sky as they leap at you is fun.

Problem with it stunning aliens is that all alien life forms, except the gorge and lerk, have to be in melee range to be effective; as a result, it could easily be abused by one or two exos continually stunning an onos while everyone focuses him down in a few seconds. Rines, on the other hand, have made a huge mistake if they are in melee range of an alien.

the claw is awesome, it could be better at pushing things away from you, and it would be nice if you could either crouch or make it be able to reach cysts on the ground.

but if i could have a 30-40 res exo with dual claws, i'd be happy.

hey i don't say lets remove it, i say lets make it the default exo which then can be upgraded to other variants with different weapons. you can always have your claws as long as you don't buy a secondary weapon !

dual claws and claw+shield for maximum badassness!
