Another Armor Mod idea: "Torch and Burn"

Ever had a game where you pulled out a Prophet’s Bane, but someone snipes you before you can even use it and then steals the sword? Talk about adding insult to injury.

To remedy this a bit, I have an idea for a potential armor mod:

> Torch and Burn
> Upon death, your weapons and grenades disintegrate, preventing other Spartans from claiming them.

This will make sure that any Mythic weapons (well, ANY weapons in general) you’re using don’t fall into the wrong hands if you should die. Granted, you won’t be able to reclaim them, and allies won’t be able to recover them, but that’s what asset denial is about. This CAN be more harmful than helpful if you’re trying to defend a capture point, but then again you could always de-equip this armor mod in those situations.

EDIT: Just to note, the weapons disintegrating/self-destructing would not harm nearby enemies. I don’t think the community has much love for the CoD Martyrdom perk (which made you drop a live grenade when you died). Also, I’ve been thinking that potentially this perk needs to be combined with an in-combat buff to the wielder to make it a tad more appealing. Any thoughts?

That actually sounds like a good idea. Is there time limit or is it instant?

Instant. Once you die, your weapons self-destruct.

It should at least take a couple seconds.

I’d rather not allow opponents who kill you in melee combat to reap the rewards of your death.

Or there could be an armor mod where you just don’t drop your weapons at all, like in custom games where you can turn off weapon dropping.

What about they explode like the Fuel rod from CE? Or just explosive weapons.

Hmm, seems like a win-lose situation. The enemy cant get those weapons, but you can’t get it back, either.

That’s the idea when you die trying to cap an enemy’s point. There’s very little chance you’re gonna get back and reclaim your weapon before an enemy steals it (or said weapon is removed from the map). This armor mod prevents the stealing part; you’ve already lost the weapon either way.

That’d basically be the Martyrdom perk from CoD, and virtually everybody hates that perk.

They should have the “composed” effect promethean damage does.

Good idea I reckon, it can be a double edged sword, but a great mod for players who play risky.

But still be a good idea to kill the enemy in a bang even if it does not kill him.

Where have I seen this idea before?

Sure why not.

“You want my assault rifle or Magnum? TOO BAD!”

I think it should explode like mini grenades.

But… What about friendlies picking it up?

Or drop a splinter nade, just think, you go to pick up their weapon when BOOM you get disintegrated lol

They don’t. If you trust your friendlies to pick up your stuff, don’t take the mod. Otherwise…

i think you should just keep the weapon once you die.

1 respawn only

Could it just be on power weapons?
