I think we need a new gun, aka the love puppy cannon.

Ill make more edits yo this when I have time to fully explain my idea.

For now just imagine a mega-man-ish attachment to your arm which looks like a love puppy.

Will be working on alchemy trees with elemental versions and a howlitzer version- thinking that may be either 4* or shadow

And of course one that's a love puppy that heals teammates.

BTW anyone awesome at art I'm going to try to make some rough sketches if you could maybe bring this idea to life? I've seen some of the art on here and its phenomenal so that would be epic beyond all reasoning.

Edit #1 More on the idea

3* gun- Puppy pelter. essentially ripping the head off your average gun puppy and shooting other things with it. Slow bullets, slow shooting, but big damage. thinking 50 bark modules for one. normal damage, three shots per reload, charge is the tri shot

|____ 4*(need name) looks like a Romulus twin head. More damage, slightly faster bullets, charge is two tri shots. normal damage
| |_______ 5* RPR(rocket propelled puppy) looks like a Romulus twin head with the spikes up. same
| | as original except shoots rockets. AOE damage and low movement speed decrease. normal damage
| |_______5* Bark extraordinaire. looks like a shadow Romulus twin head with spikes up. shoots a laser beam for a specified range. two
| pules per reload. less damage than rockets but instantaneous hit and penetrates multiple monsters
| normal damage and low movement speed decrease
|____ 4*(need name) howlitzer head. Less damage but does elemental damage. 5* versions will split to the different status versions

still working on how the love puppy gun will work and a shadow version. thanks for the patience!

Please wait till I finish

Please wait till I finish with the details before passing judgement? Yes i knew from the start that it could be OP which is why im putting careful thought into how the game mechanics would work so that it isn't OP but isn't useless at the same time

Interesting idea

@Ironskullkid Don't be rude, let him go over his idea.

Also, Moonarr, I have an idea where:
Love Gun (4*)
5 ammo in total (can not hurt enemies or destroy construct)
1 bullet heals 3 bars of health (so 15 overall)
Only one charge can be used per depth, as it uses one bullet, and it can fully revive a fallen teammate from a distance (and it must be aimed close enough)

It would make it a gun for a team, making it meaningless when solo'ing, as it can only heal teammates. It encourages people to work together. By taking one weapon slot, I don't see much harm in such a gun. Depending on how it is used, it could be OP, but I don't think it would ever be too bad. For Lockdown, I don't see an issue with it, as you can heal in your spawn already.

Of course it would be a little difficult for Three Rings to make such a gun, but it isn't out of their abilities. An idea could be that it would be released with an energy pack, binding on purchase. It means less people could get it, less people would spam it, and Three Rings could make some money (because I want Three Rings to get some profit, this game is great!)

What do you think? Also, I'm sorry if I'm a little unclear, I kind of have a headache.

Edit: Changed a little in the description of the gun

as of right now the only way

as of right now the only way i can think of the love puppy not being OP is if it has a polaris like effect where you need to be a certain distance away for it to become a heart any closer its worthless

@Moonarr:

Here's the problem with healing stuff...

People can stop and use them at any time. Even if you limit it, there's currently NO reason to have them, even in SLs. No SL I've ever done is too hard to need healing weapons, much less other tiers; provided you're geared properly.

It just doesn't make sense to have a healing weapon.

1. There has NEVER been a Weapon with a Debuff. (Aside from Bombs, but that's Different.)

2. The Alchemers make up the Elemental Gun Line. It sounds like you want to make it Obsolete.

when i thought status weapon

when i thought status weapon i was thinking weapons that only applied status. like no damage whatsoever. and theres a bomb with MSD so why cant there be something else?

"when i thought status weapon i was thinking weapons that only applied status. like no damage whatsoever."

Then you're making the Howlitzer Guns Obsolete. People want Damage & Status.

I think OOO doesn't like people to heal others, from what I heard. It's a fashionable idea, but it's one of those things that we reeeaaallly need to check upon in Lockdown, Arcade, Missions, Solo, etc. The Cautery Sword said it was meant for medical purposes, but while there was a huge door, it goes to the purposes of cleaning up after Gelatin.

@Moonarr:

"New and interesting"...I certainly hope you're not talking about healing weapons.

They've been on this forum I think around the time the Clockworks came out.......

Which is why people react negatively toward them.
