Maybe a new type of weapon should be the boomerang. It would do more damage shots fired from a gun, but you couldn't throw it again till it comes back to you. Some boomerangs could grab items for you too. Also, you could charge it for better range, among other things.
Certain boomerangs would maybe plant bombs(on the floor or enemies), and others might shot at the apex the toss. Is this a good idea? What do you think.
May as well bump this instead of making my own
I was thinking of how nice boomerangs would be to have. there could be simpler boomerangs like the basic one could be thrown and bounce back real quickly once it hits something and pierce through enemies when charged
there could also be a boomerang that looks like a mechanical snipe too which could be thrown in a round arc or something as apposed to a regular forward throw.
