Stolen pretty much from Hawken, which has gone open beta recently. I altered the idea to provide more offensive capacity though.
The weapon would shoot bubbles of about 2.5~4 metres in diameter that absorb enemy damage and repels enemies from entering it, capable of housing around 4 people or so, able to be shot at friendlies and attach to both people and vehicles to provide a mobile buffer, shot infront of the player to create a temporary barrier or shot in the middle of an enemy cluster to push them out of a hiding space or creating an entry point for a friendly assault (it's been calibrated to your allies shield frequency or whatever).
I think a hand-held version would have a basic skill that improves max. HP by 5% while specialised would improve duration by 5%, with a basic gun holding about 4 shots, 600 HP and lasting for 30 seconds, with an assault variant having 12 shots of 250 HP and lasting for 20 seconds each, and a heavy duty one having 2 shots of 800 HP and lasting for 40 seconds. to avoid massive bubble snakes I think only 1 bubble can be supported per gun at a time, with a medium~long reload time. I like the idea of it pushing enemies out violently, like them being hit by a massive rubber ball as the bubble quickly expands, allowing allies to run into a safe space and get the hits they need. to claim a point. Naturally as a shield it would be quickly melted through by lasers, but resist kinetic and explosive damage well, and it's large size makes it an easy target for all weapon types. |

I always wanted some sort of scifi barrier/shield thing to defend and support teammates.

Hey, thanks for the comment, I was thinking about that a lot, I definitely agree that it should be a logi thing, but I couldn't figure out which slot it'd be best in so I kept it vague. Personally I like the idea of it being a gun, maybe similar to a mass driver with the same ballistic arc thing going on. I think that possibly because it's such a support orientated concept, with limited direct damage application, it would naturally fit as a logi's light weapon slot item as other suits have higher priorities towards damage. Maybe making the bubbles targetable with a remote shield repairer would increase logistics synergy, with a bonus of every 5 seconds repped adding 1 second extra lifespan onto the bubble (combined with regenning it's HP of course), helping logis maintain a bubble while besieged by 1 or 2 enemies.
I was also thinking of potential counters for when facing a bubblelord logi, where instead of being forced to blast it away with raw damage every time, maybe having an equipment slot item that allows the player to penetrate the enemies bubble, something like a "Shield wavelength resonatorGäó" that when activated allows free movement and 15~35% weapon damage to penetrate the bubble when shot at from a distance (with melee and close quarter damage inside the bubble being 100%), giving everyone the ability to apply pressure with heavy preference to a scout counter, at the cost of an equipment slot (and maybe some tough CPU & PG requirements so people are coerced into either a dedicated anti-bubble loadout or kind of gimping themselves).

Perhaps something like this. Protect friendlies, and promotes movement as a group. |
