Django Quik R.I.f.t Orion Empire 469	Posted - 2013.05.13 23:05:00 - [1] - Quote So a while back there was mention that the devs were looking at a mortar firing mode for the mass driver as a secondary firing mode. People have also suggested many times that swarm launchers should have some sort of secondary dumb firing mode like we had in the E3 build (but was horribly OP). For the sake of pure speculation what do you think could be secondary firing modes for other weapons? Single blast charges with extra oomph for laser rifles? An area of effect EMP/shield disruptor blast from a forge gun? Throwing nova knives? Close quarters short duration flaming with the plasma launcher? I'm a bit stumped on ideas for the more traditional weapons (AR, SMG, Scrambler, HMG) - any ideas?
Cosgar The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 858	Posted - 2013.05.13 23:18:00 - [2] - Quote Mass Driver secondary firing mode should be bouncing grenades or sticky bombs depending on the variant. Bouncing grenades could detonate on contact or after 2~3 bounces and sticky bombs can detonate by tapping the interact button. When Tech-III weapons become a factor with different ammunition types. I'd like to see flux rounds, cluster bombs, (that deal severely diminished damage over a wider area) incendiary, and smoke rounds.

TheAmazing FlyingPig Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 276	Posted - 2013.05.13 23:23:00 - [5] - Quote I want my shotty to launch the entire shell and my swarm rockets to swirl around each other, in addition to my laser rifle shooting orbs of energy (that detonate when shot with the laser rifle primary), my Fragmented small missiles to have camera guidance, my bio-rifle to pile up a massive green ball of goo in one shot... Also, I want to turn my scrambler pistol on its side.

They could ditch the burst fires and make it so you can switch from full auto to burst for ARs. Shotguns could switch between slugs for long range or shot for short range. I just want a freaking flame thrower.

MassiveNine Pink Fluffy Bounty Hunterz Noir. Mercenary Group 170	Posted - 2013.05.13 23:42:00 - [10] - Quote What I would love is a "defense mode" for heavies. When they are crouched, range and accuracy increases and they can't move while crouched, think of it as setting the HMG down on a bipod. Doesn't have to be by much, but enough to make holding an objective doable by one heavy vs 2-3 reds. I think the danger of being prone and immobile would justify the extra range and accuracy. Now I know that accuracy increases when crouched already, so perhaps that accuracy with extended range.

It would actually have a secondary purpose just like all the other av weapons. Like AV nades? Because they can be thrown at people and do no damage whatsoever. I think it might have been your suggestion I replied to a little earlier elsewhere - A single missile would do 300 damage without dmg mods (no one swarms without dmg mods). 2 missiles would do 660 damage with one dmg mod and insta-kill pretty much any non-heavy. That's pretty darn OP and would make both the mass driver and plasma launcher almost entirely redundant.
Joseph Ridgeson WarRavens Orion Empire 122	Posted - 2013.05.13 23:54:00 - [13] - Quote Lazer Rifle Burst. Instead of burning slowly, it fires a huge pulse like how they work in EVE. Would obviously cause HUGE overheat and would only be really useful for Amarr Assaults with their Heat Reduction.

Like a siege mode for HMGs? I like it. Takes time to enter/exit but once set increases accuracy from the first shot. I'd say range needs to be kept the same though - once the falloff mechanic is all sorted out, accuracy will be king anyway.

Already in the game, there's just a unique button combination you have to press to activate it. It's Triangle + L1. My vote for HMG secondary would be to be able to prop it up as an automated turret, then go run around with your sidearm.

Val'herik Dorn SyNergy Gaming EoN. 535	Posted - 2013.05.14 02:43:00 - [17] - Quote If you look at the assault rifles they have an underslung grenade launcher/shotgun there is your secondary fire mode for that. The scrambler rifle will probably have the option of using both modes on one gun. (with the secondary being weaker) i would love to see secondary fire options be highrisk high reward options. Like oh god if i do this wrong ill end up exploding my clone...
