Swarm launcher variant, firing one missile per shot, but with a large clip (somewhere between 8-24) and high ROF.

It's similar power to now, just single fire, allowing you to fire just as many shots as you need.

A snowball launcher, a swarm launcher that fires snowballs, they do no damage, but are funny

dropsuits variation like the type-II but advance and prototype versions. was kinda cool to see the type-II but didn't matter for long because people went for advance and prototype.

Assualt sniper rifle.
Less accurate, not as strong.
Easier to fire while moving.

This would fill a gap between the Tactical AR and the sniper rifles.

Basically, I was going to suggest making the tactical AR this.

It's semi auto, so why not have the tactical AR be slightly higher dmg than the creo, and be SLIGHTLY more accurate. Still quite less powerful than the sniper rifles currently in game. It would be perfect as a "marksman" rifle.

this. theres only armor variations after type-II, no shield ones..

A type of Forge Gun that doesn't do massive damage like the others but instead shoot EMP Blasts that immobilizes any type of Vehicle for a certain amount of time, giving your team the chance to attack it without it trying to escape. But also have a shorter distance it can travel so that it can't hit Dropships for an easy take down for them, only unless the Dropships are flying low and trying to crush people.

But a repair tool that, when used on an enemies dying body while they bleed out, increases your end of match salvage considerably would be cool

APC Dropship - Basically a flying healing taxi

Has no guns - Maybe repair guns to help repair friendly tanks
But a bigger shield and armor tank
Has a MCRU - 10second spawn time
Also has the ability to give ammo and also repair armor

Yes. Yes. YES YES YES.

APC Dropship - Basically a flying healing taxi

Nanophage mass driver - inflicts 5-10 armor damage per second through shields for 15 seconds over a 5.0 meter blast radius - cannot be stacked - reduced direct hit damage bonus. Effect removed by remote repair tool.

Anti-hive - Disguises itself as an enemy nanohive by copying enemy ID signals - devours ammo and armor over time

Hi there,

Over the course of the coming update weGÇÖre going to be testing some of our fancy new content streaming systems. To do this I need to create one new variation of an existing weapon , vehicle, dropsuit and module to add to the game. However since I am a kind and benevolent Wolfman, I have decided to give you the opportunity to suggest what kind of variations you would like to see. IGÇÖll then pick my favourite from each category, make variations based on them, and we can all test them in the game

Keep in mind these are variations on existing items, not completely new items so they need to use the existing models and features in the game. For example, is there a type of mass driver you wished existed? Well I want to know about it!

IGÇÖm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

CCP Wolfman

How about simple smoke grenades.

A third variant on the Forge Gun with some kind of burst or spread mechanism for suppressive fire and room clearing. Basically, a heavy version of a shotgun or a heavy version of a burst AR.

wormhole uplinks: when two wormhole uplinks are placed on a map, the person entering a graphic animation above the uplink is transported to the other corresponding uplink.

I'm sure someone could rationalize the physics and lore behind this idea, but what if we had the ability to equip BlackOps Suits (different from CovOps) that have the capability of setting up a Micro-Worm Hole (or portal of some sort) in 2 areas of a map (more than likely on the coming larger maps) which allow infantry & vehicles to pass through to port-across the field.

BlackOps could receive War Points from dropping these "Worm Links" (possibly similar in design to a drop uplink but distorting the field around it). In order for BlackOps to gain access behind enemy lines they will obviously take advantage of the possibly Soon(TM) cloaking modules.

Prevention of BlackOps tactics could be done through the use of Visor Modules (such as EM/Heat Vision) to spot cloaked infantry and engage/fire on them. If people feel that "Infantry would be torn to oblivion if passing through a worm hole, even a micro one at that!" then it would at least still be interesting to have this tactic for vehicular warfare on larger maps Soon(TM).

Discuss!

Edit: A skillful BlackOps could also help to prevent a team from being Red-Lined, so long as the initial Worm Link was placed in an area at the initial spawn that could not be fired upon by enemy tanks/dropship/etc.

Keep in mind these are variations on existing items, not completely new items so they need to use the existing models and features in the game.

Regenerative Armor plate, passily regens armor

Its a AV weapon not a AP weapon besides it fires a single blast it doesnt have any spread to begin with

I really would love a Heavy Dropsuit with a Light arms and Heavy arms slot, but no Sidearm slot........An Assault Rifle and a Swarm Launcher/forge in the same fit would be nasty and very beneficial to team play.

Just need to find a good partner with some nanohives and its on!

BTW, Wolfman, this is way cool what you are doing. Thanks.

Gallente (militia,assault, tactical, advanced, proto) Sniper Rifle: Does a little bit more damage to shields, but less to armor, , has a diferent sight or scope, or skin. (Thinking in color blue)


Caldari (militia,assault, tactical, advanced, proto) Sniper Rifle: Does a little bit more damage to armor, but less to shields. Diferent scope or skin. (thinking in color green)

Amarr (militia,assault, tactical, advanced, proto) Sniper Rifle: More heavy, almost AV, 2 shots per magazine, and slows you down. But does a lot of damage, (White or yellow)

Minmatar (militia,assault, tactical, advanced, proto) Sniper Rifle: Ligther (made out of space toilet paper ), has 7 or 8 shots on every magazine, but deals less damage, but almost no recoil.

---

Gallente specific dropsuits: A little more expensive that normal (militia, standar, advanced, or proto) but have higher default shields.

Caldari specific dropsuits: A little cheaper than normal (militia, standar, advanced, or proto) but have higher default armor.

Amarr specific dropsuits: Same cost as normal (militia, standar, advanced, or proto) can fit one more weapon, or deal more default damage.

Minmatar specific dropsuits: Same cost as normal or cheaper (militia, standar, advanced, or proto) but are faster by default. (running from your former masters makes you quick on your feet )


SAME GOES FOR VEHICULES

Thats all for now

A type of Forge Gun that doesn't do massive damage like the others but instead shoot EMP Blasts that immobilizes any type of Vehicle for a certain amount of time, giving your team the chance to attack it without it trying to escape. But also have a shorter distance it can travel so that it can't hit Dropships for an easy take down for them, only unless the Dropships are flying low and trying to crush people.

Good point. Should be a new variant of the Forge Gun, but with same characteristics as current Forge Gun.

Actually, either variety could be anti-vehicle, and an interesting Anti-dropship/Anti-LAV variant. The individual shot in the burst could be much weaker, but the slight delay between shots in the burst would make it easier to catch fast vehicles (for less damage) by leading.

I dont know why but that made be think of something I suggested in feedback forum labed under tech 2 studd and mrw module if some was will to go posr their opinions abput it... Please.

But I suggested a tech 2 version of the mass driver that would shoot a single direct damage shot in a more lineir path and do a good deal of damage on impact, at the time I was think of the crossbow from black ops. But it would feel the role of faster tracking less damage weapon like your forge gun so either or a direct damage MD or low dmg quicker forge gun would work I just suggested it for as a mass driver tech 2because the MD needs some love and people already have incentive to train for forge guns.

Oh I refer to above request to go check out my suggestion... Please

Assault Shotguns!

Fully automatic high magazine count low damage.

A variation of the charge sniper- faster charge and lower damage- but don't make it as fast/weak as normal semi auto snipers.

dropsuits variation like the type-II but advance and prototype versions. was kinda cool to see the type-II but didn't matter for long because people went for advance and prototype.

A snowball launcher, a swarm launcher that fires snowballs, they do no damage, but are funny

'Inferno' granade
Causes heat damage to weapons and turrets that have a heat guage that can cause them to overheat

Tweak the existing tactical AR.

The prototype tactical AR current stats are as follows:
Damage: 52.2
RoF: 789.5
Accuracy: 57.1
Magazine capacity: 30
Single fire

And the prototype breach AR stats are:
Damage: 57.6
RoF: 401.1
Accuracy: 58.3
Magazine capacity: 42
Full auto


Based on this info it would seem that the tactical AR has a higher Rof then the regular AR, but has a huge damage increase, so it easily beats the breach AR in dps while still being accurate, but thats not the case. Me and other people have tried it and can't achieve that RoF no matter how hard we try; the maximum RoF we get is slightly higher than the breach and it takes sooo much effort to do so and that effort would be better used for adjusting our aim more effeciently and other things. The avarage RoF we get is around the same as the breach.

What I'm trying to suggest is to change the tactical AR to have more damage than the breach but have the RoF brought down to 500.0 and make it have higher accuracy than the breach. The magazine capacity should stay the same though.

**Edit**
I can only achieve the max RoF using the PS Move controller.

A minmitar LAV

-Shopping cart with 2 SMG's duct taped to the sides of it. Place a lawnmower engine on it make it move.

Tank mines would be nice

A grenadier variant of the assault suit.

Basic:
no side arm slot
2 grenade slots
grenade damage bonus (5%)
reduced gun accuracy (-5%) <---applies to AR, Swarm, SMG, and Pistol

Advanced:
HIgher grenade arm speed & throw distance (10%)
no side arm slot
2 grenade slots
grenade damage bonus (7%)
reduced gun accuracy (-5%) <---applies to AR, Swarm, SMG, and Pistol


Prototype:
Higher grenade arm speed & throw distance (15%)
bonuses for using the mass driver (+5% rate of fire)
no side arm slot
3 grenade slots
1 less low power slot that the standard assault proto
grenade damage bonus (10%)
grenade splash radius bonus (5%)

All suits would also have 5% less armor than their standard assault brethren but have a 3% bonus to their movement speed

Tank mines would be nice

then you would also need to have anti-infantry mines......can already see the QQ

Those would be great too

The trap mines from Templar One, the monofliament mines

A sniper rifle capable of doing damage to targets behind certain types of cover. Damage of the weapon would scale from full damage (when there is no intervening) material to extremely low damage should the round have to pass through a particularly thick/high density material.

The scope on said rifle would have a heat setting allowing it to see the heat signature generated by dropsuits power cores through materials. Dropsuits using more PG would generate a larger heat signature and would be brighter, thus easier to see by this scope. This would make it easier for the sniper to ID and target high value targets (ie proto suit users) while lower value targets would be much harder to spot and more dangerous to the sniper. This would provide a real tactical use for those type one and militia suits even after a player is able to use proto suits.

cannibalizing one of my own ideas in the feedback forum:

Amarr 'Castigator' Pistol

Another variant of the Scrambler Pistol, this weapon dumps all of its power into a single devastating shot. While forcing the firer to reload after every shot (while the pistol cools down at the same time) the effects are undeniably lethal. It is widely believed that the Amarr use this weapon for the 'castigation' (ie: assassination) of heretics and other enemies of the empire.

I also thought it would be neat if you awarded a T1 BPO of the items that make it into the game to the people that suggested the items.

Weapon Variation "Unicorn"

-15% damage
Shoots Rainbows at your enemies.

A sniper rifle with increased distance high power really low RoF

Shotgun that does heavy damage to tanks, but tiny range. basically, it's loaded with Antimatter.

How about a scout suit that has two S weapons slot so i can carry two types of pistols

An a pistol that does good damage against armor instead of shields

=> A tasing scrambler pistol firing heavy damage projectile but with a crappy Rof. 1 bullet per clip for example. With railgun visual if possible.

Red smoke grenades for when you need air support

I'd like to see some more variety of grenades. Drawing on the real world for inspiration:

A delayed timer variant that doesn't begin counting down the fuse until you throw. (This is how real grenades work. No one wants to pull the pin and then be carrying a ticking bomb...) For extra usability, some way to put them away if you decide not to throw them would be great, but just being able to run around with a grenade in your hand ready to be thrown could add plenty of emergent tactics we don't have now.

A defensive grenade variant. Defensive grenades are grenades that have a blast radius larger than they can reasonably be thrown. They're usually packed with more explosives making them heavier (so they have both a bigger blast radius and can't be thrown as far.) and are designed to be used when you have cover to throw them from behind. They're the kind of grenade you would toss through a doorway before stepping back, or throw over a low wall where you'll be shielded from the blast. In DUST, I was thinking something along the lines of the shorter throwing distance of the Packed AV grenade variant, with roughly the same damage that AV grenades currently do to infantry without their soon to be implemented vehicle only usage.

A few other grenade ideas gathered from the IRC channel...

Flashbang variants. Large explosion radius, little to no damage (just enough to give everyone hit markers and cause a bit of confusion), just a very loud noise, bright flash, and some smoke left dangling in the air. On the plus side, great to use in game modes where friendly fire is on and you don't want to have to explain why you threw a Frag into the middle of a gunfight.

EMP Variants. I'm not sure how possible it would be with the damage types in DUST, but a grenade that did massive shield damage and ONLY massive shield damage. Basically you would never be able to get a kill with these grenades, but you could instantly drain an enemy's shields and then finish them off with gunfire. An AV variant of the same would also be nice, something to take the (obviously superior) shield tanking vehicles down a peg or two.

I'm guessing someone who's been deployed can vouch that they still do this.

do they still make you do that wonky "shot put" style throw for grenades?

As someone who's been deployed, I can vouch we'd never do this. Fuses in the real world have too much room for error, leaving the timer between 3 and 5.5 seconds. So if you pulled a grenade pin and counted to 2 before throwing, you'd have a grenade with between 1 and 3.5 seconds left before exploding, which is too large of a window to try some of the airbursting tactics you see in video games and movies.
