What do with overworld - surface maps for online game ?

The Corporations would obviously be the ones already appearing, Vladof, Torgue, Maliwan, Hyperion, Jakobs, Tediore, Dahl, and Bandit, along with bringing S&S Munitions back.

However S&S would be more like the Bandit weapons of BL2 with insane magazine capacities, while Bandit weapons would be crazy and more unique weapons scrapped together by the really talented gunsmiths that aren't now working for S&S

As for guns I'd like to see the following.

Revolvers, made by Maliwan, Jakobs, and Torgue

Machine Pistols, made Hyperion, S&S, Dahl, Vladof, Tediore and Bandits

Shotguns, made by Torgue, Hyperion, S&S, Tediore, and Bandits, with Jakobs making their unique break action shotguns.

Assault rifles, made by Dahl, Torgue, Vladof, Bandits and S&S

Sharpshooter Carbines, made by Dahl, Jakobs, Hyperion and Maliwan

Sniper Rifles, by Vladof, Maliwan, Jakobs, Dahl and Hyperion

Machine Guns (as in fuckhuge machineguns not assault rifles), made by Dahl, S&S, Bandits, Vladof, Tediore, Jakobs (in the form of a hand-cranked galting gun) and Torgue

SMGs, by Dahl, Maliwan, Hyperion, Tediore, S&S, and Bandits

Rocket Launchers, by Maliwan, Tediore, Bandits, Vladof, and Torgue

Grenade Launchers, by Torgue, Dahl, Bandits, and S&S. Like shotguns, Jakobs would also make grenade launchers in a unique break action form.

Elemental throwers, weapons that do pure elemental damage, Flamethrowers, Slag Blasters, Shock-It Launchers and Acid Flingers, made only by Maliwan and Bandit weapon-artisans.

>>24459318
Of course Pangolin and Anshin would return to make their small time shields, class mods and medical products and have no advertisement and generally go unnoticed by everyone.

>>24459009
If you mena you have some, go ahead and show em off!

>>24459375
That's how cozy their fiscal position is. Everybody uses their product, but nobody realizes they've pidgeonholed themselves into a near monopoly.

I bet the zippers on your clothes are marked "YKK".

>>24459318
There's some ground to separate S&S and Bandit guns though.
Old S&S always had slightly boosted damage and big mags, with a chance of low-proc elementals, at the cost of frills like recoil control, accuracy, and (except for the machinepistols) RoF. S&S machine pistols were replaced in BL2 by the Vladofs, but I always loved those little bitches.
Bandits sacrifice accuracy and damage for the deeper mags, and tend to be ETech or nothing on the elemental side.

Atlas guns were always rare, but decidedly average for their rarity - never really the best at anything, and their revolvers had obscenely low capacity.

>Grenade Launchers
Dahl currently makes these - any "grenadier" assault rifle (the rocket barrels) shoots arcing grenades, and they have a burst-fire mode. Also, the Landscaper, although it's kind of shitty. And TORGUE.

>Elemental throwers, weapons that do pure elemental damage
Splatguns writ large? I do like the beam rifle idea.

>Dahl Sharpshooter carbines
Replace their Snipers - downdamage a Jakobs and add burst fire.

>>24459488
Copied from last post of last thread:

>Machine Guns (as in fuckhuge machineguns not assault rifles)
S&S and Atlas made LMGs. DEEEP mags with crawling load times, shitty recoil control and accuracy.
>Dahl, Tediore HMGs
Dahl: doesn't really fit their design aesthetic. Those Carbines would make a good BAR proxy though - they use high-powered burst-firing battle rifles for suppression instead of indiscriminate spraying. Something like the early Squad Support Weapon concepts from WWI.
Tediore: the budget, "family" company making an HMG? I admit, the exploding fat-mag gun would be pretty hilarious, but I think they'd do better making carbines (fer hunting dontcher know) or grenade launchers (home defense against those particularly aggressive burglars)

>>24459488
>Dahl currently makes these - any "grenadier" assault rifle (the rocket barrels) shoots arcing grenades, and they have a burst-fire mode. Also, the Landscaper, although it's kind of shitty. And TORGUE.

These would replace Grenadier, Rocketeer ect weapons and become a separate class of weapon for game play reasons in a Pen and Paper contex.

Its easier than saying you pick up the assault rifle thats really a grenade launche r but still uses your assault rifle bullets. Grenade launchers would use their own unique ammunition, and unlike rocket launchers, actually be affected by ammo regen.

Groovy. I was just making sure you weren't bypassing some of the existing models.

Right now I'm toying with the idea of an "AMMO" stat - you have generic "sizes" of ammo - Beefy, Boring, and Dinky guns.
Beefy Guns are Snipers, RLs, MGs, etc.
Boring Guns are shotguns, carbines, ARs, and the like.
Dinky guns are pistols of all types and SMGs.
Each gun gets a certain number of shots per point of AMMO. Still fiddling with it conceptually, so I'll probably change my mind once I actually put dice to table.

>>24459479

>>24459488

Like >>24459639 said, these would replace Grenadier type weapons.

>Dahl Sharpshooter carbines
Can't see a problem with this, Dahl snipers are pretty much this already

>>24459518
This was the point of adding elemental trowers, Shock-It Launchers being essentially Tesla weapons, maybe certain manufacturers could make rocket launchers with homing ability and sweepable beams could be an E-Tech weapon type.

>>24459617
>Tediore Carbines
I like this, it would give Tediore a rifle class weapon and make more sense that them making an HMG

>Tediore Grenade Launchers
Can't see anything wrong with that

>No Dahl MGs
I was thinking that since Dahl is the more "realistic" military company, they could make MGs more like M249s, M60s, or Browning M2. But I like the idea of their carbine being a BAR proxy.

>>24459488
>There's some ground to separate S&S and Bandit guns though.

This is true.
The main point we had in the last thread of wanting to bring the S&S company back was so we could have a company making the cheap high cap guns on a large scale and then associate Bandit weapons with the mysterious art of homemade guncrafting.

So would we make the weapons all randomly generated?

Personally I think the weapons should be sold/found as specific models of weapon that come with different variants, green rarity weapons being the standard civilian model, blue being souped up, higher quality military version of the civilian variants, and white being the most cheaply made and poorly maintained junk.

Only purple and orange weapons would be entirely random, as they are the custom makes made for soopa speshul operators, or members of the companies own deluxe gun club.

The exception being bandit weapons of all qualities would be random as they are made by small time gun crafters, S&S now serving the role of the high cap cheap guns.

>>24460066
We kind of want as little random generation as possible. A GM can add as much variation as he wants, putting a Torgue barrel on instead of the standard, adding an accessory or optic, or whatever, but as standard, the guns will be pregen.

>>24459778
Aye. Lemme think of what weapons or otherwise interesting effects are in-game that aren't accessible to players.

Homing rockets: Both small and large versions. The small ones are basically grenades and are fired by JET, RPG, and Badass loaders. The big ones have glowing orange aftertrails and are fired by exceptionally large Hyperion units, like the Bunker, Saturn, and Constructors.

Nuclear warheads: Only fired by Badass Constructors, and they have like a full 30 second windup time and can be intercepted. But dayum.

Throwers: Already covered these, but whatever. Nomad Pyros have flamethrowers, and perhaps the breath weapons of elemental skags count as well.

Linear heat ray: Fired in single rays by Deathtrap, Constructors, Hyperion Engineers, and Terramorphous tentacles. Badass Constructors can fire arrays of them simultaneously.

Disk Launcher: Strange weapon used by Hyperion Engineers. Fires what looks like hockey pucks with glowing lights on the top and bottom. Not sure if they have any mechanically interesting properties, but they seem to fly slowly and arc, then explode on impact.

Tesla bolt: I've only ever seen Deathtrap use this. Fires a medium-damage sustained bolt of lightning that, once locked to a target, keeps with it until the bolt finishes.

Shockwave: Hyperion Engineers will sometimes slam the ground repeatedly with their mechanical arms, causing multiple shockwaves to explode up around them. Spiderant Knights have a singular large shockwave effect.

Electro cannon: Fired by everything Hyperion ever. Shoots a slow-moving orb of electricity that explodes on impact. Eats shields alive.

Shield ray: Projected by Surveyors and Deathtrap. Either repairs or places a shield on an otherwise shieldless target. Gonna need some team-synergy effects in a tabletop anyways.

Wormhole: Awesome effect produced by the hideously annoying Wormhole Threshers. Might be nice to be able to do some battlefield control.

Can we get Eridian weapons back?

>>24460191
>Can we get Eridian weapons back?
No reason we can't.

I'd imagine them kinda like E-tech weapons, but even better because they are the originals

>>24460191
>Nuclear warheads
These actually exist (though somewhat scaled down) in the form of the Torgue Nukem and Torgue Tunguska launchers.

>>24460386
Dang. Guess I still haven't gotten any real endgame loot, then.

>>24460293
I'd very much like that. While I actually prefer E-Tech most of the time, the fact that Eridian weapons exist at all is an important part of the setting and flavor, and I was mightily disappointed to see them go. Relic weapons = <3 (And having a sniper rifle that shoots a lightning bolt is pretty awesome on its own.)

>>24460191
While not really existing in-game (aside from the single Hyperion mortar near Overlook), it was mentioned in the last thread that artillery and field guns based on existing weapons could be an interesting concept to implement.

>>24460500
A particularly amusing and very Whack Fooey idea was artillery pieces that seeded evolving varkids into the foundations of cities, which then ate the cities whole after growing to raidboss size.

>>24460191
>Shockwave: Hyperion Engineers will sometimes slam the ground repeatedly with their mechanical arms, causing multiple shockwaves to explode up around them. Spiderant Knights have a singular large shockwave effect.
Pyro Threshers, Old Slappy, Terramorphous, and most elemental Skags also have elemental Shockwave attacks, not to mention all top-tier Spiderants.

>Nukes
A Top-teir Axton ability also sets off a nuclear hand grenade when he deploys his (longbow, in all likelihood) turret.

>Disk Launcher
I've >never< encountered these as anything other than a shock weapon. Probably something along the lines of the regular Hyperion Shock cannon reduced to a more man-portable size.

>Eridian Weapons
The Eridian weapons were actually a little inferior to the current e-tech weapons (mostly Shock, recharged ammo but ate it fast, only one mag, no scopes, the Cannon always pulled hard to the left of the sights), but the unreleased Thrower-class Eridian weapons (Fire Storm and Acid Storm) sounded quite cool.

>>24460500

For flavor and balance purposes, I'd bump true Eridian weapons to the highest level of rarity, and make them significantly more powerful than anything else. At the expense of all those other things you listed. Maybe bump their recharge times to be prohibitive to fire more than one magazine's worth in a battle. Like an Action Skill.

>>24462081
True, I forgot about Axton's turret. And the Runner guns are basically just M2s anyway. I still like the idea of their man-portable stuff being mostly Carbines though.

>>24463186
Though they aren't really "man portable" the Vladof ones are like Maxim machine guns and Jakobs are hand crank gatling guns.

I think the guy who originally suggested them mentioned maybe getting a skill that lets you set up a position with a tripod on your gun.

Personal wealth on Pandora is measured in “Guns”, not dollars: a “Gun” is the amount of cash given by flipping one gun to Marcus. >Buying< a gun takes 5-10x its resale value.
“Guns” are measured as follows (The “Greenie” is the standard measure of wealth on Pandora):
50W=1G, 20G=1B, 10B=1P
Orange, Cursed, Seraph and Pearlescent guns are unique treasures, and the return for selling them will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Rusty Bandit hacksaws and hammers like the one Slab King Brick used.
Sleek, elemental Maliwan katanas, rapiers, maybe some xiaolin spades and other such dueling weapons
Torgue explosive mauls called Boomsticks
Valdof gets all sorts of spinny bits on their weapons. Chainsaw sickles, drills, that sort of thing
Tediore has poorly made weapons that break after limited use, but can be thrown and redigistructed
Dahl has tacticool trench knives and shovels
Jakobs, Atlas, and Hyperion are the only ones I cant think of something for.

Though you would have to do something to make them more appealing than your basic bayonet attachment.

I like this idea, makes sense if you think about it.

also
>flesh sample extractor

>>24466267
Turns out that Anshin doesn't make weapons because they are a peaceful health company, its because their weapons are considered unethical even by Borderlands standards.

Alright. So, say we have a D4 system with 1s being hits, and no 'glitch' mechanic like in Shadowrun. Hit acing is standard, so you can reroll all hits.

The weapon system in Shadowrun makes it so that character skills and attributes are the primary numbers used, and weapons provide bonuses to that number. Borderlands should be the exact opposite. Dice pools are calculated based off of weapon statistics, and bonuses are added based off of character stats.

How does that sound so far? I was the guy crunching numbers from yesterday, if it matters to anyone.

>>24466384
Bandit doctors.
>"Lay down, flesh puppet, I need a sample."

>>24466384
>>flesh sample extractor
That looks a lot like a mislabelled cranial saw, possibly for trepenation.

>>24466519
By the way, D4 was chosen for two reasons: One, because a 25% chance for a hit makes for appropriately large numbers, and 1/4 is still right around where Shadowrun and that other game (d10 with 7,8, or 9, if I recall correctly) stand. Actually, the numbers are slightly lower, but the number of bonuses should make that increasingly irrelevant if we're doing anything right. It'll make it very easy to do a 'rags to riches' campaign pattern, anyway.

The second reason is because d4 are pretty much weapons already, and it's fucking Borderlands.

>>24466540
I'm not sure which is worse.
flesh extractor or cranial saw, they both sound pretty gruesome.

>>24466519
A one-off idea I had while deciding on hit acing is a class power (like gunzerking, basically) that allows the character to reroll on 1 or 2 instead of only 1. I haven't checked the math on that one, though, so I don't know how powerful it makes the character. It shouldn't be as ridiculously overpowered as if I made the dice hit on 1 or 2, since it allows for the CHANCE at a hit, rather than the hit itself. My fear is that it will end up either retardedly overpowered or gimped as hell.

>>24466631
Cranial saws have been in the business for a while. They're perfectly safe if you're careful.

>>24466658
But in Victorian times the saw would be used to cut a hole in your head so they can put leaches on your brain to drain your excess blood, because thats whats causing the problem. Trust him, he's a physician.

So these here are simply referred to as Shotguns. They have nothing to do with actual shotguns, except that they're made for extremely close range. The top right one is the basic model, the others are rarer. They look like giant crossbows, but are actually an array of 5 auto-tracking guns that launch a short-range fusillade with every pull of the trigger. The yellow one is different, firing an arcing bolt of electricity that zigzags between targets.

The one on the bottom right is a different class of weapon altogether, called a Launcher. It's basically an E-tech flame grenade weapon.

Also, I should probably clarify about these. >>24470067
I posted them for their appearance, but they're not actually melee weapons. You may notice they have triggers. They're called Slicers, and are kind of a go-between between gun and sword. You press the trigger and swing the "blade", and an energy blade detaches from the body and continues on to the target. (You can even bounce one between multiple targets.)

I havent played any of the DLC yet, but did they really make a gun called The Bee?

>>24473363
The bee isn't any DLC, but the vanilla game itself. It was an amp shield and was completely ridiculous. As in Terramorphous you don't even lift ridiculous. At least until they nerfed into the ground and buffed Terramorphous at the same time. It was the only thing that made grinding him bearable.

>amp shield
Too bad, I thought it was a reference to this little mishap on /v/ a few months before BL2 release where some pr guy accidentally leaked some concept art when people asked him if there was a gun that shoots bees. After he posted this, he realized what he did and deleted all of his posts. That was fun.

So Roland's turret is an Atlas work, and Axton has a Dahl turret, but would players be able to choose other companies to make their sentry?

Personally I'd get some sort of Torgue autocannon. Upgrades that add missle pods, grenade launchers, longbow deployment, and nuclear explosion where you throw it, maybe even smaller explosions that make a MIRV after deployment. Hell, maybe even make the thing's grenade launcher use your grenade mod. This is a Torgue weapon after all.

>>24475521
>Upgrades that add missle pods, grenade launchers, longbow deployment, and nuclear explosion where you throw it
>Torgue
>Implying all that wouldn't be the DEFAULT

>>24475549
Well, sensibly it would, but the gun would have to start out normally before you begin to upgrade it with probably just a slow firing explosive autocannon. Having three weapons and essentially being a nuclear grenade would be a bit overpowered for a level 5 character to have.

>>24475521
Perhaps who manufactures your turret plays in heavily to its abilities. As... Borderlands as Atlas was, they had an extremely strong teamwork feel to them, operating in highly coordinated units. Roland's turret, consistently, could heal allies, supply ammo, instantly recover a downed ally when dropped onto them, and it came with its little bunker shield by default.

Axton's, by comparison, was all about putting out as much damage as possible in as traumatic a fashion possible. Rocket pods that actually mean it, doubling up its number of guns, setting off a fucking -nuke- just for deploying it, slagging targets, etc. It gets the shield thingie, but only with a skillpoint (and halfway up the tree for it, at that.)

So maybe come up with turret options for each manufacturer. A Jakobs turret is more or less an anti-tank railgun. A Maliwan fires Thrower weapons at short range, and energy globs at long. A Vladof is just a row of miniguns on a rotating tripod, and a Torgue fires explosive rounds.

>>24477062
I'm thinking Anshin and Pangolin would make for interesting turrets as well. Anshin's being focused not really on damaging enemies, but healing allies, and obviously with greater range and efficiency than an Atlas turret would, with maybe some neat health-based buffs and transfusion-style attacks as you upgrade it. Pangolin's might work something like the Shield Surveyors, maybe?

>>24477279
Oh, that'd be cool. Like the.. uh.. what were they called? There were shields in the more recent Halo games. I think Bubble shields were invincible but had no extra benefits, but Drop shields were breakable yet healed everyone in range.

Writers, if you continue in this manner I have no course of action but to delay my B Company/Western Calvary adventure until you finish.

>>24477913
Start with what's already there, and make our own using what we've converted as a guideline. Feel free to toss around ideas, of course.

Bandit uniques should have some absurdly powerful effect, but with a huge downside. Self damage, splash radius bigger than the range, punches you in the dick when you reload, etc.

>What is the NUMBER ONE philosophy of Borderlands?

One thing that REALLY bothered me was the absurdly low elemental effect chances on rocket launchers, especially for Maliwans.
>Gun that literally launches a giant fireball at its target
>only a 25% chance to actually catch them on fire

>>24478400
Whereas with sniper rifles you could get up to a whopping 80% chance.

>>24478400
>>24478426
I'm okay with sniper rifles activating their effect almost every shot, but I seriously hope that elemental rockets get a nice healthy boost in Whack Foo.

>>24478280
...And that is your answer. Just make sure it's not game-breaking, which probably means you shouldn't try and make the best of anything. Just something cool.

What would a Torgue turret look like?

I'm imagining a huge ass hot rod engine, using a racing tire as its base and swivel point with a miniature artillery gun as its barrel.

With upgrades including

Upgraded exhaust manifold, makes fire constantly burn from the engine's exhaust pipes, when it is damaged it releases a large fire nova, like a shield.

Sound system. Adds some huge speakers to the thing, which blare loud rock music, giving damage, fire rate and/or reload speed bonuses to allies in a certain radius.

Weapon upgrades, increasing the rate of fire and damage of the main gun, adding a rocket launcher, adding a grenade launcher, which with an other upgrade the grenade launcher then fires your grenade mod.

DYNAMIC ENTRY! Gives the turret longbow deployment and sets off an explosion when it deploys.

Basically it would be an extreme offense turret with no defensive options beyond releasing a nova when hit by a melee strike.

>Go to sup/tg/ archive to look at the last two threads

You guys are amazing.

>>24478525
>Longbow
May actually be -too- sudden. Try the Fastball type direct-fire grenade. It flies in a straight line like a Longbow, but leaves an energy trail behind and slams into the target before detonating.

>>24478525
Well, Dahl already has the Full Offense market filled, Torgue should be on a sort of sliding scale with some defensive options. I'm imagining a four-barreled AA gun scaled down a bit, with a shield to protect itself. It can be used for cover, and the weapon can be deployed at a limited range to act as a diversion or to help flank enemies.

I'm imagining that the Hyperion turret has an option to be dropped from orbit, crashing straight the fuck into one enemy and dealing damage.

>>24478742
Yes, but each shot is a grenade. That's the base level. One upgrade makes each shot into a cluster bomb.

>>24478525

Torgue longbows would employ the same gyrojet technology in their longbow system as they do in their ammunition. While the sight of a longbow leaving a trail of SMOKE, FIRE, and MANLINESS is awesome, it suffers from the terrible inaccuracy of the gyrojet, meaning any long distance, precision aiming is doomed to fail as the longbow Torgue turret veers off course.

Imagine the Torgue sponsored Vault Hunter.

zooms around on a kick ass motor cycle. Wields the Torgue weapons. KerBlaster grenade launcher, Unkempt Harold pistol, Landscaper shotgun and Tungusta rocket launcher.

Along with the Manly Man shield, giving his melee strikes explosive damage and Meteor Shower grenade.

Along with a fully upgraded Torgue turret.

wait....would maliwian do a turret at all?
if so how the hell would it be pulled off?

>>24480264
Very well.

>>24480264

When thrown it randomly is assigned an element (or make it the player's choice). It fires whatever the chosen element is, reduces damage allies take from that element, makes all non-elemental weapons do that damage type (so that they can know what it'd be like to have a Maliwan), and boost the element chance of all elemental weapons.

>>24480340
You can also upgrade it to give all weapons a slag effect as well as its base elemental effect to make elements more deadly. Or maybe give it a slag tech tree that is all about boosting elemental damage and having the turret fire slag rounds all the time.

>>24480264

Imagine a four flame/shock/slag throwers, each pointing in a different direction. And then they spin. And they keep spinning.

He wants an excuse to talk about the game, I say let him.

And on that tangent, you can now buy drinks for the other players. If you buy some booze for Claptrap, Moxxi brings him a sippy cup.

Torgue rifles are fucken weird.

>13000 damage on title card, 16 shots, 180 RPM
>actually deals about 28000 on a direct hit, with a small splash radius that deals 15000, and criticals that deal about 58000
>consumes 1 unit of ammo per shot

>Level 50 purple Torgue rifle with decent parts and the Torgue rocket barrel

>actually deals about 26000 damage on a direct hit, with a large splash that deals 26000, and no criticals
>consumes 4 units of ammo per shot

So, with a Torgue rifle with the rocket barrel, am I pretty much paying 4x as much in ammo for... no criticals, worse impact damage, slower fire rate, and slightly better splash?

>using that overpowered munchkinbaiting piece of shit

Alright, so going back to the conversation we were having about turrets:

>Class: Soldier
>Ability: Throw Turret
>Turret Make/Model
>Upgrade Path

If a Borderlands-style three-path upgrade system is used, then one path will be completely dependent on the turret chosen by the player. The player would need to re-spec to change turrets, but would pay nothing else for the turret (Digistructing murder machines are a razorblade business, after all).

>>24481483
Agreed.

>>24481483
So so far we have
Dahl Turret
High damage, high accuracy, missile pods, shield aura, long bow, magnetize, nuke grenade, two turrets, 2 guns on each.

Scorpio
Team healing, decent damage, fast recharge, team ammo regen, cover bonus and built in shield

Maliwan
Elemental damage bonuses for everyone, does all sorts of elemental damage, short range

Jakobs
Fuckhuge super accurate railgun or gigantic shotgun depending on model

Vladof
Horrible monstrosity of gun chimera

Tongue
Exlplosive auto cannon, super beefy turret, builds with an explosion and deconstructs with an explosion, rocket launcher, grenade launcher that fires owners grenade mod, plays rock and roll music to inspire surrounding players to fight better, maybe gives Explosive weapons in players hands a bigger buff and make non elemental weapons do explosive damage so those women can know the joy of Torgue badassery. Can spit out a ring of fire when damaged, and can be thrown anywhere like a flaming fastball of badassness

>>24481564
If you guys have any ideas about brand-specific perk ideas, dump 'em.

I think S&S should get the Ammo Regen perk, and Vladof should give a rate of fire boost within its range. Ideas for the names of different turret models would be cool too: They would be mostly there for fluff purposes, but they could change depending on the perks chosen.

>>24481483
The upgrade paths discussed for different turrets, so far:

Torgue
>Starts as a relatively standard explosive bolt autocannon
>Add more explosive bolt autocannons
>Add grenades
>Add shield, probably a solid metal shield instead of the energy shields that other companies prefer
>Add missiles
>Turret is now a Fastball with TOP EXPLOSION upon construction and deconstruction
>All friendly weapons are now TOP EXPLOSIVE
>Grenades are now Legendary
>Missiles are now Legendary
>Explosive bolt autocannons are now grenade and missile launchers also, and Legendary

Dahl
>This is already established in-game, no changes suggested so far

Atlas
>This is already established in-game, no changes suggested so far

Vladof
>Turret is a relatively standard minigun
>Add barrels
>Add more barrels
>Add more spin
>Add more miniguns
>Add more barrels
>Add more spin
>Add more miniguns
>Turret is now a minigun made of miniguns made of spinny and barrel and shooty and lead
>Fuck it, we'll hit something eventually

Guys, what about Bandit? Something akin to what an Ork would make?

>>24481824
It shoots hatchets and has a midget operating it who explodes and is digistructed along with the turret. Somehow.

>>24481824
YOU'RE IN BANDIT TOWN NOW, BITCH

MAKE IT MORE SHOOTY AND WIPE THAT FUCKING SMILE OFF YOUR FACE

IS IT HURTY?

IS IT WILD?
>No
YOU'RE WORSE THAN THE MIDGETS, YOU KNOW THAT IT'S GOTTA BE WILD, BABY

IS IT NASTY?
>No
MAKE IT STING AND BURN AND FEEL SO BAD. IF THEY'RE NOT DEAD BY THE TIME WE'RE DONE WITH THEM, THEY'LL WANT TO BE, DAMNIT

ARE THE DICE LOADED AND DO THE POINTS NOT MATTER?
>No

>>24481824

Bandit turret shoots saws. And foot long spikes. And launches explosive barrels via catapult.

Fuck, it has a meat grinder in the front, and then shoots a harpoon which reels you into the grinder.

It grinds them up then drops health pickups for the players.

>>24481920
>>24481844
I like a lot of this. The base turret should be a midget-controlled MG with slightly less ROF than the slowest gun and less damage than the second-least damaging turret, and the midget is vulnerable to attack. Early upgrades would be: Giving the midget axes to hurl and digistructing extra midgets to replace those that die, some straight stat upgrades, and Pis On. The Bandit turret could be the most powerful in the game with the right upgrades, and it's the only one that's mobile after getting the skag upgrade.

Are you mad that other people want to have fun?

>>24482317
To be fair, The Bee was pretty much broken. I never really had that much fun with it, either-- I played one run with all of the super-powerful weapons and then after that I was over it.
