A Shotgun-type Gun?
Thu, 07/28/2011 - 15:20
I had thought about it the other day, and a few friends liked the idea.
I know the whole idea with the Spiral Knights and their guns are that they are small side arms and that is why something like the Magnus knocks them on their ass, but if the gun made you stand still and gave you a decent amount of knockback (as in, you slide a bit), wouldn't that make the logic part of it make sense?
Now I know the Autogun series kinda already has bullet-spraying, but it sprays like... Well, a machine gun/machine pistol. But this thing would maybe have a more settled spray. Not to mention, the pellets would launch all at once. Maybe to make it less viable to catch dodgy things in the spray (being that they fire all at once) give it a slightly tighter cone of spread?
I'd imagine this gun would do normal or piercing, but maybe a chance to stun would work, too.
Anyway, throw out opinions and ideas. Chances are whatever comes up in this thread, no matter good it may be, will never see the light of day in the game anyway.

This is what I was thinking.
That is what I was thinking, Raton. Make it pump-action, but without too much reload. That way the fire system goes shot (with standing still and knockback on the shooter), pump (maybe allow slow movement?), repeat.
It should be slow, to balance the damage output, but not too slow to make it not worth using.
Other than Stun, I don't think it should have a status variant - might be overpowered. But it would depends on what OOO does with it.

I would LOVE more weapon
I would LOVE more weapon variety and there's a good chance there will be more sooner or later, something like this sounds pretty cool.

This isn't really a suggestion. This is more or less wild dreaming and speculation, because as I said in the first post, I don't imagine this weapon would make it in any time soon, if it all.
If this thread REALLY isn't meant for this section, it'd be nice of an admin to move it or something.
EDIT: I think I will just make a dupe thread in Suggestions. Who knows, maybe that will help this idea into actuality.

Since it hasn't been
Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, the Alchemer lines are sort of shotgun-like with their charge attacks. One shot that does a considerable amount of spray damage.
