A friend of mine brought this idea up to me and asked me to post it on the forums.
What if Nanite Injectors could be used on downed enemies to terminate them, and you could harvest their ammo for extra Health/Ammo for the wielder? Perhaps 10-20%. Say it takes 3-5 seconds to complete the animation to add a bit of risk to the reward, and you are rewarded with enough ammo to help replenish the lost ammo (but not grenades).
It might give people more incentive to carry nanites for their personal ammo rather than nanohives, logis won't spend their hives for their own expense, and it wouldn't replace a nanohive's utility for providing AV ammo, grenades, or ammo for heavies/other ammo hungry weapons. Also great for shield tankers that want a way to replenish their missing armor instead of feeling a need to equip reps or reactive plates. I don't see anything immediately broken about it (if it encourages enemies to terminate, then it costs them money and clones, so it is arguably good if they do).
Sounds like a neat, and doable idea to add a little extra love to an under appreciated item.

Better idea: Injecting an enemy clone turns him into a mindless zombie that melees his own teammates in a blood spurting frenzy. |

Even BETTER Idea, just shoot the dead clone in the butt to terminate him. Why waste a nanite injector? Nanites don't steal, they either heal or destroy, and right now in DUST they only heal. You know what would also be better? If DUST was like Call of Doodoo and you can just pick up ammo, but this isn't Call of Dogs, this is DUST.

You use it to siphon the nanites from their corpse to replenish things. Less for termination, and more for resupply/heal between fights.

I like the idea of an injector also being capable of sucking the nanites out of people and getting some sort of benefit for oneself.
Might be useful on assaults / scouts as a little reward for actually making sure an enemy is terminated.

I like it. I'd carry a nanite then. Maybe make it a variant and can only replenish you, make them tiered, 5% 10% 15 %
I cut you up so bad.... You gonna wish I no cut you up so bad.

I think making it tiered is good, but I like the idea of all injectors doing it. If it only replenished you, then it is basically a less functional nanohive, but it is also unlimited in use. I like the idea of more people using nanite injectors in general, and if this little feature can help it along, then so much the better.

that's exactly what i was thinking when i was looking at cannibal nanite injecto's name. the name made me think that somehow it cannibalizes or steals form others. so the idea was born. if it was still functional as a friendly revive injector but maybe less efficient at it then say a stander injector i could see it as a great variant |

seems like a good idea to me. It also brings an interesting game play situation. Instead of people lying around waiting to be picked up, they have to decide if it is worth the risk of letting the enemy replenish off their clone before their teammate can come revive them. |
