It has been ages since we had a new gun. I am starting to guess OOO is trying to shut us gunner's down. What you want proof? I will give you some proof.

1 When OCH came out we could get a sword and a bomb. why no gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 The snarblox set has a shield,bomb,armor,helm and a sword. No gun again!!!!!!
3 The home coming celebration comes you give us a new sword and shield. No gun again!!!!!!!!

How that for proof. So i ask a simple thing:- a new gun.

Some of my ideas for gun:-

1 The shock wrapper

Description
It is hard to tell how this gun was made some say that it came for the underworld, others say that it was created by a evil mastermind and a few say that a knight got shocked and his weapon got created in to this scary weapon. Whatever the reason this guns packs a punch.
Attack
when fired normally it launches bullets which do elemental damage and shock.
when charged and fire ti fires a rope which wraps itself to a enemy(or group) and keeps giving them shock until the loose out of it.

2 The dead bringer.

description
When enemies see this weapon they will wonder if this weapon will kill them first or bring the dead back to life.
Attack

This brings the dead back to life and they start killing your enemies the only problem is when they come back to life they don't want to go back and you have to kill them.

3 The surprise gun

Description
Only time will tel what this gun will do.

This gun can do any damage and any status but they come randomly not in an order.

I don't care if any of these guns come or are rejected all i want is a new gun.

Zaffy is Laffy

1. Polaris / Voltech
2. Why an instant death weapon / necromancy
3. Nope

Love guns too much? Now tell me how bombs are not loved too. If you wanna suggest a new gun, elaborate more. I can seriously bring down a list of new guns / guns that need buff. Snarby gun, magnus buffs etc.

Little-Juances

1-OCH has no gun but gunner helmet
2-Jelly and Vana have no bombs
3-No honor bomb either
And all bomber amors are elmental. Also gunners can fully enjoy swiftstrike buckler and they have the most powerfull weapon ever.
I could go on with RSS changes, etc.

Go away, you dont know what it feels being hated by OOO.

Snarbolax: sword + bomb (no gun)
Roarmulus: gun + bomb (no sword)
JellyKing: sword + gun (no bomb)
If 000 want to add a gun for the Snarbolax's gun (which is going to be useless or dethrone the Blitz) they should also add a sword for the Roamulus (Voltedge alt) and a bomb for the JellyKing (DarkRetribution MKII), sounds exciting right?

Speaking of bombs celebrations haven't given any of those, yet.

PS: The "surprise gun" remind me this post.

Hmmm

Maybe OOO can settle the issues the community wants now and let the gun come later. The debate on an upgradeable Lionheart Continues! :D

omg /\

this IS an issue too, isnt because you like the other topic more it should be priorized.

i would love to see a full set for every boss. and with it a new full set bonus too, like

Increase Normal Defense: Low
Increase Elemental Defense: Low
Increase Piercing Defense: Low
Increase Shadow Defense: Low

its something more for using all pieces yet is something balanced. do not forget it requires a weapon upgrade slot as the set would have 3 weapons.

piercing gun WITH MOBILITY,

piercing gun WITH MOBILITY, the only thing you cant bring in a fiend filled room is blitz / magnus , fiend are superfast and have aimbot , wich will make you fail the shot most of the time , also blitz will surely 1 hit kill any , if not even 2 fiend at time , but still you cant shield when charging it

I used to actively assist people and gunners in what guns to bring and where, so please do not completely take me as a joke when I suggest:

Hail Driver against devilities.

It has to deal with the freeze and the split shots combined, but you do not know its true potential until you actually use it. It cannot even be described accurately, honestly.

For the most reliant, safest, and highest AoE damage against devilites, do not take a Blitz needle, but instead a Polaris.

You'll have to understand where to shoot (not directly at the devilites all the time) for both options but you will be safer than any sword.

After you use an alchemer / polaris combo against devilites, you'll probably lose any bit of you left that asks for a mobile piercing gun lol.

Eternal-Lancer

Quakeman and The-Rawrcake

To the folks talking about guns vs fiends:
As an avid user of the Callahan, all I can say is... no. The Callahan/magnus line is great against fiends if you know how to use it, you just have to be careful. Heck, because of the bullet's speed it's one of the only guns that can reliably hit them. Ensure you're far enough away from the devilite that they land a throw before you can shield again and pretty much never fire the second shot unless you're only up against a single fiend. Taking good shots with the callahan and knowing how to shield cancel with it is a great way to take out those giant hordes of fiends.

Heck, if you're careful with the blitz, using the charge attack can work out alright with them too, you just have to make sure that you catch any of the devilites that are in range in the firing arc. It's nowhere near as reliable but it's possible.

OT: We haven't got much of anything in terms of weaponry in the last year. Operation: Crimson Hammer brought us one new "sword" and one new bomb, while the crystal bomb update brought bombers a new variant. And no, the Honor Blades don't count as new swords. I'd love to see new guns, but I'd also love to see new bombs and swords... and new levels. Bottom line is I'd like to see more Spiral Knights.

Skold-The-Drac

Basic mechanics/reality

If they release a single weapon on each line over 6 months, that helps maintain lifespan for SK. If they just went and coded all this immediately, we'd develop a metagame among all the equipment and just be bored within 6 months. No fun nor profit in that.
