This is a pretty simply idea to implement I think. But it's a terrific one nonetheless. Anyways the idea is this. Either use an already made gun model and edit it a little to look different, or create a new one that looks more like a slick high powered dart rifle such as this:
The gun would be run on darts. These dart guns don't have infinite ammo. You need to have the darts in order to use the gun. The darts would be used kinda like the silver bullet except there will be many different kinds of darts and only one gun. You would have to aquire to gun somehow and it stays with you weather you have ammo for it or not. If you want to use it though you will need it's ammo. It's ammo could be farmed at special locations or could even be aquired from data node tapping. Here are some possible dart suggestions. As long as you have the ammo your gun will fire unless you stop it.
Slower Dart: Slows the speed down of it's target tremendously. (The higher a level you are the more % it slows down)
Paralyzer Dart: Freezes target in it's place. (The higher a level you are the longer he stays frozen)
Normal Dart: Causes damage to the target. (The higher a level you are the more damage you cause)
Debuffer Dart: Removes positive buffs. (The higher a level you are the more time it takes for a person to re-enable them)
Poison Dart: Causes damage over time. (The higher a level you are the damage it causes per second)
Disable Dart: Stops the target from performing any sort of attack. (The higher a level you are the longer the target is disabled)
State Dart: Causes the target to become staggered, off-balanced, and dazed. (The higher a level you are the greater the chance)
Reverser Dart: Causes the target to sustain damage everytime he attacks another person.
Blinding Dart: Causes the target to have a large decrease in spy detect points and bonus, making spies able to attack easily.
Evader Dart: Automatically disables the shield with a single hit.
Killer Dart: Kills the target in one hit. (Rarest of them all)
Some of these darts can have amazing effects. They will be the hardest ones to find. The darts cannot be decomplied and coded and will be hard to farm for and find. This makes it ok for them to have some crazy effects. I think this would make the game alot more interesting and fun. Id love to see dart guns or blow guns that are shooting darts all over the place. Anyways along with negative darts they could also implement positive darts that you can use on friendlies.
Anyways, what do you guys think? Personally, this would give 50's more things to have fun farming for. They could even be dropped only by special high level people. Like MxO could create random high level spawns downtown. If your lucky, those high levels will drop special darts. Those darts could be sold for big bucks to whoever wants them. It would create a new market to make cash. Anyways i think this is easy to implement. The easiest thing would be to create the darts with their stats. And in order to use them you need a special prerequisite: the dart gun. After a number of shots, let's say like 20, the gun dies. Since the darts are rare and hard to get, the darts would never miss. It would be cool if you could actually see the dart get stuck to the target's neck too. You could think of it as a way of injecting crafted MxO code into the enemy causing it to have special effects on it. Tell me what you think folks.
