[IDEA] Redesigning the crylink - again

[tChr]

I like it the way primary fire works on it, however I think secondary fire should fire single armor piercing rounds. Just a thought

the crylingk should be armor piercing overall..

I have never really noticed the effect of armor- I collect it anyway though.

LOL! wise choice anyway, keep on doing it

no, seriously: when you have armor, a certain amount of damage is (60% i think) is subtracted from that, the rest goes to your health. Makes quite the difference as you can see

[C.Brutail]

Yeah, especially when I see myself dead with 25+ armor points :F

@torus
Armour is essential in surviving a first-strike from a Nex.

Or RL for that matter

But to be honest, I think lightning guns are overplayed. It's time for something new, unless you make a weird kinda lightning gun What about invisible mines, or at least an invisible turtle that you can place somewhere for people to trip on them.
Why not some kind of shield that bounces the projectiles thrown at someone. Something like the green shield in UT2004 but this one would surround the whole character and when on the damage dealt to the player is almost nullified (you still take minor damage), while rockets, mortars etc. are being bounced in random directions. Even the push effect from weapons would be minimized so that you wouldn't be able to shoot that character away, which gives you a higher rate of killing him.
Also, having this shield on would drain, either, ammo or some battery like mad. So you wouldn't be able to have it on for a long period of time. Say, like 5 sec or so.

I highly like the idea of a shield. A shield gets my vote, even over a flamethrower.

[divVerent]

Would it make any sense to have BOTH on the same weapon? Some energy shield on secondary, and a "flamethrower" on primary. Certainly needs a new model then though.

[torus]

That would pwn so hard.
