ShellShock Live - Complete Weapons Revamp

SHELLSHOCK LIVE - COMPLETE WEAPONS REVAMP
By: @Goomba and RumMumMario.


A while ago, I noticed that the game's biggest flaw was the weapon system. I have interviewed many people over Steam and ShellShock Live regarding this, most if not all have agreed that the weapons were extremely unorganized, crappy weapons unlocked at higher levels, not creative, over-powered, etc etc...

To make @kChamp 's life easier, me and @Goomba decided to make a complete, organized weapons list and unlocks. In my opinion, this will make a vast change to the game's reputation, as 'weapon' is one of the biggest aspect of the game. Any suggestion/extra notes is greatly appreciated

Weapon damages; slash means the damage is distance based, from closest to furthest.
very close/slightly close/mid-range/very far or very close/mid-range/very far.

NOTE: As of now, we have only revamped the level unlock weapons. If the thread gets enough attention, we'll plan on adding in the mission/challenge weapons as well.
NOTE2: Also, if some of the links don't work, please remove the * at the end of the url.

This sh!t took us like a month. ​

 

Awesome!! Some of these are out of the box and could be tricky for kchamp to make as well as overpowered but this list is really exciting to look at!

 

Suggestion: make a word document, it will be much more organised.

 

I was going to, but I assumed people are too lazy to click and view the doc.

 

I have no problem with the new weapon system and some of the weapons listed seem good, but I don't know if rearranging the entire weapon system would be a good idea.

 

Looking good so far, will have adjustments and whatnot down the road. And see? That document would have been a good idea

 

Nice work here but by no means something I'd want to see implemented.

 

A lot of these are sweet and id be excited if they were implemented in the game. Itd definitely draw a lot of positive attention to the game. Nice work!

 

kyle should add at least 5 tiers of upgread to bring back weaps like breaker madness,oh and you forgot super sniper from ssl2 but you did a very good job

 

Thank you beagle Don't forget Goomba worked with me as well.

Also, sorry if we weren't able to satisfy your wishes on weapons. As beagle said, we tried to make at least four or five weapons in each tier. I know some weapons are fairly crazy and perhaps RPG, but well, we're not geniuses

 

There are some things I think need modified: names for some, placement of others, some need to completely go lol (Gin shot) but I'll make a list of changes if you'd like Mario

 

wwhat about "instant replay"? that was one of my faves from ssl1
