[Projectile Weapons] <--- Fun stuff inside

[Discord]

Somebody posted their first- ever weapon mod over at INA, and per usual it's an overblown Wheeeeee! gun. However, the mechanics are quite interesting.

It's a modded shock rifle, but the altfire is an explosive plasma projectile. The cool thing about this projectile is mainly its speed... it's way faster than just about any of the projectiles in UT04 (except possibly flak shards, dunno for sure). Unfortunately it's got heavy splash damage on impact, so it's not like you have to go for the direct hit... although at that speed the dh isn't hard to pull off. And it looks cool, to boot.

I'm thinking about asking the guy if he'll let me trick it out a little further so as to make the projectile a little faster yet and with no (or very, very little) splash associated. Still, it's kind of fun to watch the thing in action and wonder about a possible all- projectile UT04 from an alternate universe or somesuch. I thought some of you projectile mavens might get a chuckle out of it.

As a bonus, it's freakin' hilarious when used with the Arena mutator. :tup:

Wasn't expecting that! Competitive 1v1 should definitely be played with this!

That would be pretty fun with the arena mutator.

This is the most satisfting weapon I have ever had the chance to shoot in UT2004. Nuff said. :tup:

Fun. pretty spammy though. You can do a prtty cool trick like UT's ripper - bounce them with the primary and knock them out of the air with the secondary.

spineblaZe approved! :tup:

yup that's the shock rifle mk II, my first coding attempt
not sure if it's gonna work online tho

here's another version of it

it's got explosive hitscan beams and shockcombo-style exploding lasers
I think im gonna combine these 2 versions into 1

Now all we need is a rocket launcher that has infinite ammo and shoots redeemer missiles!

thrust me that's easy

 

[Nemephosis]

the primary fire needs to do splash damage if it has the rocket explosion decal, but otherwise this thing is awesome to use

Now all that's needed is heat-seeking goo ... Oo .

You won't believe me but i actually made that kinda weapon it's called the 'annihilator', its a rocket launcher that fires heat seeking redeemer missiles but the problem is i can't get it to work due to some weird unknown bugs/issues . I was expecting quite a lot of it, unfortunatly

 

[Nemephosis]

ooh, new version of explodey rifle. Me go play with new highpowered artillery now.

 

[Damike]

has anyone ever tested it online?
should be cool if they put it on a server
would be better than instagib IMO

 

[Nemephosis]

It might be just me but secondary's explosion doesn't feel big enough. The decal is huge but I seem to miss a lot. Might need an increase in splash radius.

But otherwise it's pretty damn funny.

Actually, I'd love to put this into a pack of overpowered weapons. Other guns could include that crazed Ripjack somebody put out a few weeks back, the ZeroSkillz sniper rifle and the OMFG Gun. I think at least in relation to eachother, those guns strike a reasonably good "balance."

 

[Nemephosis]

The Noskillz waveflak is cheaper
