I am not too sure if many players thought of this before at any time before I posted this topic. How about if OOOs made a Gun Puppy-themed gun; a gun that looks like a gun puppy and it was modified to be a gun, in addition to include Puppy sound effects and 2-3 way shooting. I came up with 3 branching lines. It may sound overpowered as I go along the way, but to hell with that. I know Gunners need something that packs alot of punch in both LD and Clockworks.

==Ideas==

=Alchemy Paths
==Puppy Gun 3*>Puppy Cannon *4>Roaring Rover *5 (Elemental Damage)
==Puppy Gun 3*>Howling Cannon *4>Necroblaster *5 (Shadow Damage)
==Puppy Gun 3*>Love Gun *4>Revitalizer *5 (Heal/Lockdown Exclusive)

Normal Combo::

2-shot clip for all lines. Roaring and Necro shoot 3-way, and the Revitalizer shoots hearts to heal allies. The Revitalizer's HP replenishing properties become stronger as it is upgraded.

Charge Attack::

5-way shooting like the T3 Puppies. However, Rover and Necro fire a homing rocket or the howlitzer head at the end of the attack. They can home-in on targets. The Revitalizer shoots a big heart that explodes into an AOE that group heals.

==Flavor text

3*
::Puppy Gun:: "A Gun Puppy modified into a potential handgun."
---
4*
::Puppy Cannon:: "A more powerful Puppy Gun that can lay down some bullet hell, with some statue-like finish for an ancient feel to it."

::Howling Cannon:: "Not even the Spiral Order knows how exactly does one make this terrifyingly undead armament, but it packs a hellish storm within its jaws."

::Love Gun:: "Designed by a Spiral Medic who won many Lockdown fights, and decided to weaponize the Heart Pendants. This gun is designed specifically to heal other Knights as a supporting weapon."
---
5*
::Roaring Rover:: "Now with an intergrated rocket launcher, and a laser-targetting sight for homing capability! Just remember to wear earplugs because there is a reason its called 'Roaring'."

::Necroblaster:: "This gun will haunt everything. Your enemies in the Clockworks, your competitors in Lockdown, and even you when sleeping at night. Its not due to the howling but the fact that it works like a Howlitzer after death!"

::Revitalizer:: "Using a True Love Locket as a power source, this gun can bring back both the health and morale in the most daring and dangerous Clockworks expeditions. Achieved with the Power of Love!"

==Epilouge==

I am very aware that this Gun line is entirely new, and somewhat high-tier judging from the fact that it can be spammed as a bullet-hell gun but that's why I choose it to start at 3* like the Magnus. Also more options to choose from instead of Polaris. Also know that its kind of overpowered because it lets the player shoot a homing missile (or floating head) that can home in on enemies, but that's a 5* charge attack. I don't know if that evens out the balance. What I wanted is to make it work like a "Turret-style" weapon, and try to be balanced as best as I can. The Revitalizer line is kind of a healing-type gun based on the Love Puppy. I know it sounds broken in a sense, but that's why I choose it to be a Lockdown Exclusive; you must earn Krogmo Coins to earn the recipes.

I believe some avid gunslingers in this game would like this gun for being a bullet-hell gun that can be used to pin down strong opposition in both PvE or PvP although on the other hand it from a Lockdown perspective can bring problems or complaints from other classes because of its 3-shot feature or the fact that a homing projectile can intercept both attacking or retreating Strikers. Although the balance is that it has a 2-shot clip and thus not being as spammable. In terms of charge attack, it would only be useful at 5-star due to the homing projectile.

While I appreciate the time and effort you've put into this thread...

"I am not too sure if many players thought of this before at any time before I posted this topic"

There's a search bar. Please use it. It has been brought up before, and for the most part the idea has been pretty much shut down each time due to a general lack of balance or content.

The part I'm most concerned about is the healing weapon. Completely spammable. It doesn't matter if you need Krogmo Coins to get it - if it can be gotten, it can be spammed.

Next up would be the homing missile in the charge attack. Get yourself some CTR trinkets/UVs and let the gun take care of the whole game for you with little to no effort on your part.

Finally, the very thought of having such a wide spread on regular shots is inconceivable. The weapon system is generally balanced as such:
- Swords do lots of damage. The drawbacks? You have to put yourself in dangerously close range, and you generally hit just one target.
- Guns have the ability to do damage from a safe distance. The drawbacks? You don't do a whole lot of damage, and you have to aim properly.
- Bombs do damage over a wide area. The drawbacks? You have to put yourself in dangerously close, and you don't do a whole lot of damage.

The ability to have such a wide spread of shots on a single, regular shot tips the balance.

Hmm

I'm very appreciate your idea but there is a lot of problem :<

---> People will use the gun before made it to the next level.
---> Overpowered
---> This game is just too easy.
---> Conquer the Lockdown.

Healing weapons, as stated by

Healing weapons, as stated by the devs, are never going to be included in the game, because no matter HOW you try to balance it, it will still be used in a way that will instantly heal everyone.

Meanin' that the Revitalizer line isn't going to get anywhere, I'm afraid.
