Some decent burst fire guns, that fire multiple shots with one click.
Some shotguns.
Some lasers, that give us one big blast that goes through enemies in exchange for charge up time per shot.
And flamethrowers.
We need more gun types.

Mini gun with slow reload.
Mini gun with slow reload.
Edit:Autogun is sorta like a mini gun but my idea is like a huge gun you you can aim with and have low damage but a whole crap load of bullets until the slow reload comes.I think it should have it's own line.

*lasers no... u have got to
*lasers no... u have got to be realistic on this*
What's wrong with them?
They wouldn't do tons of damage, but would hit everything in a line.
Kind of like the Retrodes do.

Lasers are a bad idea because
Lasers are a bad idea because they aren't realistic?
like the undead coming to life, or knights made of mist, a planet that is made of machine, swords bigger than you that you swing with noodle arms, gelatin coming to life, etc etc etc.
Honestly it isn't a bad idea, I would like more gun types as well. Swords have a variety in a way (very light, med, heavies), but guns have much more room to improve and be more diverse - and for the most part they are, but compared to swordsman and bombers, gunslingers just aren't able to compete as well as they could.
Having some different ways to damage your enemies, like mobs do (cyclops constructs have lasers, gremlins and turrets have flamethrowers, both of which pass through players) would help. Apparently, Nick has been working on new gun types, so I guess you could hope that he's on track with this.

look at retrode's laser sweep
look at retrode's laser sweep attack its broken as hell. the last thing SK needs are lasers.

Or how about We get a gun at
Or how about We get a gun at can shoot bomb?a crossbow that shoots bombs.first you need the crossbow the same tier as your bomb.you can choose what bomb to use from your arsenal.you do not have the charge but the bomb will be a bit slower to blow up.The crossbow will have it's own line.
One star

what about snipers?
lasers are nice and all, i can see myself using one if they come out, but i would really like to see a sniper sort of gun, it hase much longer range than "normal" guns and maybe some sort of zoom feature ( you can drag the camera out or maybe the camera will follow the cursor). the downside would mean it has slow reload and you would have to stay still while aiming and shooting

not sure
Not sure if you guys know this but there is a shotgun icon located in the resources folder for SK, much like the lance icon, so theres a good probability that at some point shotguns at least will be brought in, and most likely before any other new style of gun
i would prefer to see snipers brought in over flamethrowers or lasers but the problem with this is, standard shot range is realistically restricted by the view space, there's no point having a range the far exceeds what the player can actually see (and most monsters dont appear before you close in anyway)
@monkeyman135 - the magnus is not at all like a standard shotgun in the sense that most people view them, ie fire a spread of shot

@MarQui He ment unrealistic
@MarQui He ment unrealistic to the game.
You're expecting too much from the game. Adding that stuff would destroy the game and make it not what it is. A sniper in tis game would only make sense if you ran from enemys because the spawn as you go and this game was not make for a sniper. It was made for close-combat and snipers don't fit into that.

Shotgun

I've suggested the shotgun.
We didn't get very much collaboration on it.

How? In what way?
We have enemies with laser heat beams. Why can't we have a simple beam?

Lasers: Would be nice to have
Lasers: Would be nice to have a penetrating gun with a charge similar to DA/GF I guess.
Gun that shoots bombs: Pulsar
Shotgun: Iron Slug
Sniper: Callahan
Burst fire/minigun: Autogun
"Well, this gun is SORTA like it, but I want it to be more like what I have in MY mind!"
No words.

I just want to be able to throw office supplies back at the devilites. I wish we could catch what they were throwing and throw it back at them.... epic.

I'd like to ask... Why do
I'd like to ask... Why do people keep calling the Magnus like shotgun equivalents? Maybe if you are shooting slugs it is a OK comparison, but I am sure when most people thing shotgun, they think of shooting buckshot - of shooting a spray of pellets.
Please read the thread I posted a couple posts up about the shotgun idea. We got it somewhat boiled down to what I felt was a respectable idea.

Lasers...
Uh...I kinda like the idea of a railgun better...
Ka-BOOM! Hardcore piercing damage in a straight line going through all opponents and blocks. Kinda like a Magnus but with way more recoil and whatnot.
Though lasers sound ok. Maybe you could even move while firing for a spread around type damage, so it'd be a one shot-reload type gun with a firing burst of like 2 seconds. IMA FIRIN MA LAZOR! BWAAAAAH!
Though I like the idea of laser sights on a gun...
autogun line= burst fire
magnus=shotgun equivalent
lasers no... u have got to be realistic on this
