New Equipment Ideas!

What new equipment would you like to see in game?

Personally, id love to see the following return:

  • Hologram
  • Power Drain
  • Auto Turret
  • Grav Lift
  • Trip Mine
  • Radar Jammer
  • Jetpack

Flare, Bubble Shield, Drop Shield, Regenerator all seem excessive

People loathe the jetpack but with limited charge like new equipment, I think it would be balanced

  • Hologram: Maybe
  • Power Drain: Already exists, Dynamos.
  • Auto Turret: I think when the weapon sandbox expands it would be cool to combine this with the Sentinel Beam. Hold ‘Y’ to drop it and your AI activates it as a Sentry.
  • Grav Lift: Already exists, Repulsor.
  • Trip Mine: Maybe
  • Radar Jammer: Maybe
  • Jetpack: Redundant with the Grappleshot.

The maybe’s should definitely be considered, wondering how they should be implemented and if they are even worth being additions though.

Not really, as you don’t need to aim it, you can just activate it.

Dynamos are very slow compared to Power Drain, but I suppose I agree

Grav Lift has more utility than repulsor; namely allowing more people (players, vehicles) to use a sustained lift

Jetpack: I agree with this users point:

Not entirely.

It is true that the grapple offers more utility than the Jetpack (grapple-jacking), but the Jetpack has it’s own perks. It’s more precise. The grapple sends you to a location at high speed and is “slippery” upon arrival. The jetpack can be used while shooting and it has omni-directional movement (mostly in an upward vector, the grapple CAN send you downwards but you have to be looking at the location). Also the jetpack can man cannon boost (as well as the repulsor).

Sort of.

Main difference is that the Grav Lift can be shared by friends and enemies, and vehicles can benefit (or be disrupted) from it. The repulsor can be aimed in any direction, offensive uses (Pancake, Return to Sender).

Now, if we could repulse our friends, the grav lift would be pretty much obsolete.
