BRAINSTORMING NEW WEAPONS

JordanYuki

Hey everyone 👋 we have the “Guild Shop Wish List” thread that we use to suggest existing weapons with new traits and I would like to start a new one where we give a bunch of new weapon ideas for future seasonal campaigns without having to create new discussions every time. I’ll start with an idea that I already posted in another thread that I think would be really good and lots of fun.

Bloody Chainsaw (Warrior)

Special Functionality: Attacks in a 5 space arc, damaging every enemy twice. 

Charge Attack (Bloody Whirlwind): A 360 degree attack that damages every enemy twice. After using this charge attack, the Survivor is covered in gore and becomes undetectable until your next turn.

JordanYuki

Daryl’s Chain (Warrior)
Special Functionality: Reaches 2 spaces away and hits in a wider cone shaped area, damaging up to 8 enemies. Non Body Shot attacks pushes targets by 1 space. Enemies that collide with another enemy or an object are stunned for 1 turn. 

Charge Attack (Free Attack)

JordanYuki

AR-15 Bayonet (Scouts)

If the Survivor’s attack has multiple targets, your Survivor may move for half an action point after attacking.

Charge Attack (Free Range Attack): A bonus range attack that hits enemies up to 6 spaces away. Requires 3 Charge Points. 

Deals Normal damage: 8162 at level 32

JordanYuki

Flaming Bayonet (Scout)

Stun Baton (Bruiser)

Please stop, I can only get so aroused.

If Daryl can have an assault weapon then can Tyreese have a shotgun hunter weapon?

Here’s what I’d like to see

Silver Lucky or Incendiary
Gold Piercing
Gold Ensnare

Same sized cone as the Festive Shotgun, non-body shots push.

Charge attack is a guaranteed critical hit

I’d love a lucky version AND a fire version please 

BenjaminT

Connie’s Sling Shot (scouts)

Silver Lethal
Gold Charging
Gold Destructive

Ranged melee weapon. Single target on uncharged attacks. Can be fired from 4 tiles away. Body shots cripple enemies. Tactical movement

Charge Attack: Shatter Shot - cone shaped guaranteed critical hit. Can hit up to 8 targets, crippling all enemies 

JordanYuki

Maggie’s Throwing Knives (Scout)
Special functionality: After attacking his main target, the Survivor attacks another random adjacent enemy. If there’s no other adjacent enemy, the Survivor attacks the same target twice. Once per turn, the Survivor regains an action point after killing an enemy.

Charge Attack (Knife Throw): Charge attack is an extra attack. The Survivor throws a knife at an enemy up to 4 spaces away. After throwing the knife, the Survivor attacks a random adjacent enemy. 

9236 Damage at level 32

Edit: The Survivor using this weapon could potentially attack 6 times in the same turn. Knife Throw + attack an adjacent enemy, normal attack + an adjacent enemy, built in Swift Strike activates and gives another attack + an adjacent.

capibara

The Chopper
Traits: Razor, Luck and Gnaws …with 75% to gnaw and hold the enemy without chances to move for 2 turns with GG. ..Gold Gnaws



Could have “Deadly Stink” as Infused trait

MudMoccasin

Since we now have a full-auto weapon for the Shooters class (Blizzard Pistol), hopefully there's a possibility we could see this as a future Campaign/Survivor Pass prize:

ATLAS-Z

Some expandable batons for Rosita please. 

JordanYuki

Whisperer’s Bow 
Special functionality: The range of this weapon is increased by 3 spaces. Attacks have 50% chance to set targets on fire. When attacking an enemy already on fire, there’s 35% chance the fire will spread to adjacent enemies. Does not generate threat. 

Charge Attack : Free Attack

Dual wielding bruiser weapon!! Please could this be turned into a genuine offensive bruiser weapon? They could solve the low damage problem with a double attack, imagine Brosita with a double attack

I’ve been thinking about push mechanics and circular charge attacks too. Are you worried about pushing enemies closer to your heroes? Or do you see this as pushing them away?

I see it has being used to push enemies away and stunning / rooting groups of walkers with the push mechanic (enemies colliding). Since charge is ground targeted you could just shoot in front of them and push them back.

This is the same conclusion I came to, but the trade off is firing your charge attacks at the ground and not against walkers. So you’d get to stun them but without taking any HP off them. For Hunter push weapons wouldn’t you rather keep the cone shaped attack?

JordanYuki

I also have an idea for a push shotgun. Reason I liked the crossbow idea is because, since they don’t have the cone attack and point blank + push is only on charge attacks, it leaves room for something else in its special functionality.

Benelli M4 Super 90 (Hunter)

Special functionality: Attacks in a wider cone-shaped. Deals +30 total damage to enemies within 2 spaces. Attacks that are not Body Shots push targets back 1 space.

Charge Attack: Can be targeted anywhere on the ground within range, pushing enemies back 1 space and inflicting guaranteed critical hits.

Deals additional damage (6443 @ level 32)

JordanYuki

S-Pole (Bruiser)
A Staff with a blade that can come in and out
Special functionality: Hits in a 3 space arc. Normal non-bodyshot attacks stun the enemies for 2 turns. Has a unique charge attack. Deals additional damage. 

6014 Damage @ level 32

Charge Attack (Slash): A bonus non-stunning attack that reaches 2 spaces away and hits enemies in a wider cone shaped area. Deals additional damage. 

JordanYuki

Shorty (Shooter)

Special functionality: Attacks in a wider cone-shaped area and reaches 3 spaces away. Deals +30% total damage to enemies within 2 spaces.  The main target is never a body shot. Attacks that are not body shots push targets back 1 space. 

Charge Attack: A bonus attack that can be targeted anywhere on the ground within range, pushing enemies back 1 space and inflicting guaranteed critical hit.

JordanYuki

Explosive Bow (Shooter)


Special Functionality: Explosive arrows damage enemies in a small circular area. Non-bodyshot attacks cripples and push targets back 1 space. 

Charge Attack; A bonus attack that can be targeted anywhere on the ground within range. 

Here, I made this one so enemies pushed towards your survivors are at least crippled. Also changed the Explosive Crossbow to do the same. @BenjaminT
