Possible content ideas?

Just a few ideas for a future content update:

Maybe some weapon mods that can be added onto certain guns, like some guns when bought will have a subdivision right below the gun showing gun mods that you can buy.
They can be just aesthetic or actually improve the gun slightly.

- Laser sight: Adds a laser sight to the gun that can be turned on or off - Aesthetic or increases accuracy by 5% - 500F
- Barrel Rifling: Modifies the gun barrel with intricate grooves and twists - increases accuracy by 5% - 750F
- Stock Padding: Adds a layer of padding on the stock to reduce recoil and the impact on the user - decreases recoil by 5% - 600F
- Anti-Personnel Rounds - Replaces all current ammo clips with clips of anti-personnel rounds that excel at inflicting damage to skin and organs. (Good against typical fleshy enemies, less shots used to finish off an enemy means slightly more money as well.) - increase damage against fleshy Z.E.Ds by 15% - 35-75F?
- Armor-Piercing Rounds - Replaces all current ammo clips with clips of Armor-Piercing Rounds that excel at bypassing armor to maximize damage. (Good against enemies like scrakes, fleshpounds, and gorefasts as they have genetically hardened skin through experimentation). - increase damage against armored Z.E.Ds by 15% - 50-100F?

Just a few mods, I guess you could throw in silencer, but that doesn't have a actual purpose asides from accuracy? These mods apply to some guns only, so in the subdivision of the gun you'll see whats available. Some mods could be exclusive as well.


Firebug
- Fire Axe upgrade
The fire axe should either get a damage upgrade when used by a firebug oooorrrr
- Oil Coating
Coat your fire axe with oil (cool animation with the fire axe have a oily texture and than the character pulling out a lighter and lighting the axe up)
- slightly increased damage + enemy is set aflame?

- Extinguisher
I read about this on a number of posts and I think its a great idea, light weight and simple it would make a great utility item.

- The Incinerator
A beefed up version of the flamethrower with extras.
- Increased base damage
- Separate oil tank and pressure barrel (right click to coat enemies or certain strategic points with oil, all you need is some fire to ignite it all, conserving ammo, dealing out damage, and weakening enemies at strategic points.
- Bunsen Burner Bayonet ( click mouse 3 to activate a enlarged bunsen burner attached at the bottom, the concentrated amount of heat allows you to slice through certain enemies as long as its activated. Consumes 1/5 of your fuel and allows you to incinerate/slice your way out of a tight spot for 20 seconds.

These could all be separate attachments as well, I feel like the Firebug needs something to actually finish off enemies without wasting more fuel.

Berserker
I like the berserker, but I feel the chainsaw needs to be buffed up a bit, katanas great, but the chainsaw needs to be badass as well , a little more damage resistance to stand a chance as well on higher difficulty.

New sword?
Meteorite Broadsword
A large Chinese broadsword infused with particles from fallen meteors.
- Due to its large size and swing force - increased damage
- Z.E.Ds have a violent allergic reaction against the meteorite particles causing a small amount of damage over time like poison. Stacks up to three times.

Tier 1 Drugs -
Enhancement Pills - 1 per purchase, up to 3
- Increases speed slightly
- Increases strength = more damage slightly
20 seconds

Tier 2 Drugs -
PEGV77 "Bushido Shot" - 1 only
- Greatly increases damage
- Boosts up damage resistance
- Restore health
- Speed decrease 5%
- 15 seconds
- You die at the end of the 15 seconds

Intended as a last stand type enhancement, you become powerful, but lose your life at the end.

WHAT?

...seriously, dude, what kind of weed do you smoke?

Also, this is the first time I read a post filled exclusively with bad ideas. There's no man able to tell the difference after 5% accuracy / recoil tweak, so why waste money on it? Also, kamikaze drugs that get you killed somehow does not fit into an idea of SURVIVAL game.

Uh...

Must agree with vealck this time. No offense, but most of these ideas are a waste of in-game money, won't be generally accepted, and/or do not fit the game's general idea.

Except that new flamethrower, just remove almost everything you suggested (read: direct damage upgrade)

I have some (constructive) criticisms. First off, according to my sources, not only do suppressors only work with subsonic (slower) bullets, but they decrease accuracy rather than increase it. I may be wrong, as the Mac-10 (9mm) suppressor silences it to the point that only the firing pin is heard, but i'm certain that a suppressor doesn't increase accuracy.

I agree and have also suggested buffing the chainsaw, at this point in time it's purely a novelty item; in practice the knife is better at killing except for the alt-fire which stuns. And additional damage resistance (up to say 50%) would make the zerker more appealing as a choice.

Hm.. Missed those two suggestions (probably 'cuz they were hidden and all), and I agree with both of them. But I think 50% damage resistance is excessive. 'zerker can do "fine" even in suicidal, and by "fine" I mean... uh... nevermind. I'd say 35~40% resistance.

those weapon upgrades and the drugs sound pretty useless, and berserker doesnt need any improvements. I do agree that firebug should wield fireaxe better than the rest
