Night Ops Weapon!

[vealck]

Ok, here's an idea of balanced night vision solution that wouldn't spoil the gameplay and still would be useful:


Assault rifle with night vision system (M4 / M468 maybe?)



-6 blocks of space
-Price: 1250 or 1500 (lower for commando)
-Damage higher than bullpup, but lower than AK47
-Reloading time similar to SCAR
-Moderate recoil
-30 round mag, max 8 mags total
-Firing modes: single/3-bullet burst (no auto)
-Night vision while in aiming mode, heavily obscured vision outside the scope, something like this (KF-Farm):





That would be pretty sweet on farm, getting crawlers in dark corners of offices and biotics, or westlondon night version. Also, wouldn't be much of a god mode if properly balanced. I think that 6-block, quite expensive weapon would make more sense than night vision goggles.

Putting a new weapon in is truly not necessary and on top of that, to put it between the already fine line of mid way bullpup/ak is just making it redundant. Adding a purchasable optic sight would be a simpler implemenation and forseeable addition

a night optics scope would be a cool addition to the trader, but there does not need to be yet ANOTHER assault rifle/automatic weapon

Interesting how you mentioned a Commando weapon for a Night Ops weapon... since the Cmmando already has life bars come up, which pretty much serves as his night vision. At first I was stoked about the idea of NV... but now I've just realised, thats one of the advantages a Commando has... Lets not steal his bonus for everyone else

This is kind of a cool idea. Maybe make the M4 more of a sharpshooter's weapon, make it more of DMR rather than a close quarters weapon. Something more like this:



But with nightvision.

Like how you actually though out the weapon, if it was ingame it sounds like it would be pretty balanced.

I was going to suggest giving night vision to the AK47, but no.
What about altering the Bullpups scope to nightvision?

It's a good idea. If it's going to Commando though I think it makes more sense to go on our SCAR which is used to US SOCOM I think? Anyways makes it more tactical and you know? Have more of a difference from tier 2 to 3 weapons as opposed to less of a difference from tier 1 to 2.

I do agree the lifebar thing is kinda nightvision (not really but better than seeing nothing). I would say put it on the m14 or something but until they lower its damage or take away/reduce SS's straight damage buff to weapons..no. After sure.
