Forum:More weapons

Although I normally stick to small, guns, and occasionally dabble in energy weapons and big guns, I have noticed the lack of weaponry for Big guns, energy weapons and, in particular, unarmed. Melee has no less than 20 options, small guns has alot as well, but energy weapons has 6, and big guns doesn't even have 10. And unarmed has 5 (including your raw fists). Does anyone who likes to specialize in other weapons feel this way?
 * I think there are plenty of Big Guns. There's a very large variety of different guns that use different ammo and cover a very wide variety of situations, from random adventuring (Rock-It) to close range (Flamer) to long range (Gatling Laser) to crowd control (Minigun) to big game hunting (Missile Launcher and Fat Man). I do think that Energy Weapons really needs a fully automatic entrant, and maybe some sort of non-unique shotgun (because Protectron's Gaze is like an energy shotgun) that works well when firing from the hip at close range.

Brief Ideas
Plasma Fist: Unarmed

Like a |Power fist, with glowing green plasma around the fingers. Does more damage than a power fist and turns the enemy to goo! Found on Enclave soldiers.

Alien Destroyer: Big Guns

Looks like a flamer, but emits a large blue beam for a few seconds vaporising anything in its path. Takes a 10 second recharge for 5 seconds of complete carnage. Uses Alien Power cells.

Laser Spreader: Energy Weapons

The shotgun of laser weaponry, it emits 3 laser beams at a time, frying opponents in close quarters. Uses MF Cells, loads like the sawn off shotgun but with 3 barrels. --18:21, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Not a weapon, but how about night vision or infra-red goggles? It would be easy enough to incorporate. Bethesda did the same thing for Oblivion with the Ring of Nighteye.

It does make sense that there are more small guns than big guns or energy weapons. That's just a real world breakdown. Citizens would have small guns, military and law enforcement would have the more advanced and powerful weaponry. You could make a case that there aren't enough small guns. There are a a myriad of handguns in the world, but only a few survived the bombs? LVTDUDE 18:55, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

id love to have the Prototype Constantine laser rifle, a full auto laser rifle with a small grenade launcher under the barrel that can fire pocket nukes or plasma nades.Maccy Man the man with no plan. 06:21, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

That kinda sounds like the Half-Life 2 SMG. It launches grenades too. Broeman 02:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

kind of, just a bit more powerful and with a possible scope.Maccy Man the man with no plan. 02:46, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I think it would be cool to have a weapon that makes enemies frenzied. It would come in handy for any diplomatic or intelligence based characters. Nichos354

there is one, its the mesmemtron it frenzies some people.Maccy Man the man with no plan. 01:48, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Heres just a few litle things that i'd like to see; nuka mines, a scythe, a guitar converted to a crossbow (lol) or a crossbow like the one in hal-life 2 that fires glowing metal rods. i think what the game needs in the line of weapons is more 'homemade' sort of weapons like potato gun that someone thought would be funny to modify to fire lumps of metal (oh wait there is one: the fat man...kinda) Mr snip 09:44, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

i would want a battle axe you get from a museum, or a fire axe.Maccy Man the man with no plan. 23:40, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
