I just wanted to give some input on the new weapons. I bought every dlc so far except for the camo pack and the Rocker. I only wanted to point that out because I really love the game! Also, for the input below I'm level 6 in everything and normally play hard mode.
Anyway, in my opinion the new weapons aren't very useful. Players will buy them and then not use them.
The bile blower is neat but pretty pointless. I can expect that one to be weak because it's a low tier weapon. I know that it has it's spot on the list. I guess my thoughts are... try not to make a really interesting gun to put on the lower tier because in the end it's suppose to be weak. It'll just end up disappointing. Also, the bile on the ground doesn't do any damage to the monsters. It could be neat to make it do damage, spraying it on the ground making a small damage barrier from the monsters.
The Zed gun V2 is good. I like it! The graphics are very appealing on both firing options. But I don't like the fact it doesn't multiply damage on flesh pounds but overall it's the best one in the pack. When used with a grenade it's really powerful. Again it's lower on that tier so it has to be a little weaker than the first one. But when you think about that, why is it's name version 2 when it's weaker than the first in all aspects? I guess if anything I have a problem with the name.
The seal Squealer Harpoon Gun is disappointing. It feels like it needs a larger clip and a secondary fire and a damage upgrade. When I read the description for the gun it sounded like it was going to shoot through things and pin them to the wall. That's the only thing I can thing to add to this gun. Maybe pin things to the wall, then have them explode. Whatever you decide to do is fine. I just hope something is done to it.
The Seeker Six is terrible. All it does is bounce monsters around. I'm level 6 and I can't kill clots with it on normal. The only way I can kill anything with it is by throwing a grenade first and then hitting it with a missile. It needs a huge damage boost. The other thing it needs is a larger clip. I felt like I was reloading every 3 seconds when using it, and it takes forever to reload.
Well in short the main concern with all of these guns is the damage. They don't do very much damage at all, especially the seeker six. All of them need a larger clip, except the bile thrower which felt like it needed more carrying ammo. I'd also love to have all the guns have a secondary fire especially when I paid some extra money for them. That's about all I have to say!
The only other thing is... PLEASE make more fire bug weapons!!! I can't stress that enough! :IS2:MORE FIRE BUG WEAPONS!:IS2:
This is where you can get the most creative! I'd buy a future dlc pack if all of them were flame weapons. I'd still buy it even if they had a few problems like the ones above. It's so much fun torching everything on the screen, I just want more unique ways in which to torch those things!
Ok, I'm done! I did ramble a bit but I hope you guys can get some ideas from this. Thanks!
