What are some accessories for weapons that you would like to see? They wouldn't have to be add ons to the actual weapon. For example, alternate colors? Like changing the color of a gun's projectiles.

I know I would love to see my Combuster with rows of jagged spikes on the blade.

Or how about a Final Flourish that sprays sparks whenever you attack with it.

Or adding a silencer to a gun that in addition to being cosmetic, actually silences the weapon.

I wouldn't expect OOO to go crazy with it, but I would pay high prices for all of these changes were they available.

Good idea, but needs refinement.

I kind of think that weapon accessories (which I love as an idea, by the way - I made a comparable suggestion awhile back that weapon UVs could have visual indicators in a similar vein) need to follow the pattern established by armour accessories; that is, the items themselves are universal, but not all weapons would support all accessories. I think this is pretty much what Starlinvf's suggesting - one set for firearms, one for swords, one for bombs, but with limits to their applications within those groups.

Also, it's worth considering that bombs, certain firearms, and lower-level swords have relatively small models; I suspect most could support one accessory, two tops, before getting overly cluttered. That's fine by me, but.

Edit: changing the shape, colour, size &c of a projectile's not a good idea - the current projectiles are pretty clearly codified to tell players what kind of damage they're going to do, and messing with that hurts readability.

First, I think a better name

First, I think a better name than "Weapon Accessories" would be "Modification"

Second, there is a mod I would be willing to pay 20 bucks for, because that's what it would be worth.

"Light Blade"

I.E. Lightsaber.
