Just had a few ideas about the Medic and his possible weapons and tools:
So we have now, the MP7, with healing darts that heal single targets.
Then there is the ideas of this Medic Shotgun, which uses some form of healing spray.
Then there is the already modded M7A3 Medgun, which currently uses meddarts as well.
I was thinking of them more like this:
MP7 + Healing darts = Healing on single targets
Medshottie + Healing spray = Lineheal, shortrange "piercing" spray for close up multi-healing
M7A3 + Healing "ball" = Healing "grenade", for AoE healing, launched in an arc.
Obviously there would be strengths and weaknesses of each weapon:
MP7's dart would be the best for healing single targets, but mainly at longer ranges. So it's the "sniperheal". The weakness is that it only heals one target at a time (if it hits) and is the hardest to hit with. Each dart cost 50 energy to use.
Medshottie's spray would puff out a short, broad line of "healing gas" which would be really good to heal multiple people in a line who are close to you. The weakness is the range, both healing and combat-wise. Each spray also costs 50 (or 75?) energy, making it the potentially most efficient healing weapon.
M7A3's healing ball/grenade would probably be the most versatile healing device. Its ball quickly does a small cloud of healing gas on impact, which obviously can heal multiple targets at once, being a huge strength, so it can also heal multiple people at once, but from further away (longer than the spray, shorter than the dart). It is also easier to hit with the heal than the dart, but harder than the spray. Sometimes it might be harder to hit with though, due to the "arc"-behaviour of the ball, meaning this heal is more of a medium range aoe heal. It would be good in close range too, yes, but the Shotgun would still excel at this, due to this ball costing the whole 100 energy of the weapon.
So they all have strengths and weaknesses
Imo, the energy recharge should be shared between all the weapons too, so you choose which weapon you wanna use for different situations. The Syringe should still remain seperate.
Weights:
MP7 - 3
Shottie - 5
M7A3 - 7
That way you can only carry max 2 of the weapons at the same time as the Medic.
Baseprices:
MP7 - 3000
