Somehow, believe it or not, the one who shall not be named never made a weapon ideas thread. Even more incentive for me to start one myself.
So for the first idea I was thinking drumroll please a straight up fucking gun. Now look, I know we have quite a few ranged weapons already, but just hear me out. We already have the model from bluffalo club, so that part's been sorted out already, all we need to do is add it to regular games with what I imagine would be slightly tweaked code from the taser or freeze gun, so it fires bullets instead of ice balls or whatever. For the way it functions, I think using the gun should use up a sixth of your stamina. That's because I imagine these animals wouldn't survive one gunshot, so I think getting shot should be an INSTANT knockout. Going back to what I said earlier, if the animals got killed after getting shot like 5 times, that would make a lot of sense, I mean they got shot 5 times. Now a way I would say to counteract campers because they're going to be annoying to deal with, is that sometimes the slot is empty, like in bluffalo club, and just fires nothing. Now this wouldn't use up any stamina, but that plus a bit of a cooldown after a blank would be a dream for people getting camped.
A second idea I had would be a rake. Now I don't have as much to say about this one because there's not much to even consider, but I imagine it would be a two handed weapon, like the shovel, but it would be literally the worst one. The real power comes in when someone steps on the green bit (I'm not sure if there's a name for that because I don't actually have one) and it sends the pole rocketing into their face Sideshow Bob style and instantly knocks them out. I can imagine this would be less "I'm gonna kill you" and more "Let's put this here and see what happens" which I think can lead to some pretty funny moments, and we could have a new pawer like "Keep it straight" that spawns rakes around an animal every ten seconds.
Now my last weapon idea isn't even a weapon. I was thinking we take the shield from beast hockey, upscale it a bit, and now it's a two handed giant shield that protects the entire front of an animal when it's being used. I was thinking there could be a charge attack automatically when you sprint that knocks anyone back but it uses up like double the stamina from normally sprinting if not more. But notice earlier I said the entire front of an animal. To stop this being too broken. I was thinking that the animal using the shield would be extra vulnerable from behind, like even more than usual, so just one heavy punch would be an instant knockout (I really like instant knockouts don't I) to just nerf the shield. Plus, we could also have new powers that allow us to reinforce or penetrate the shield.
