Taking Requests: Christmas Event Weapons

[Akira Kimekawa]

Would the below gun I proposed suffice?

Base weapon: VOT Grind Fragger
EGO Effect: When Shields Break, damage us increased by X%. Cooldown: 10 sec.
Nano: Radiation
Rolls: Reload/Fire Rate/DMG/+5% Armor Penetration/Mag
Description: There has not yet been a VOT Grind Fragger Jackpot yet. Gun is designed as a cleanup or clearing gun at the end of a battle. Could be useful in PVP as well.

I think this would be the right setup but radiation... really? so many rad guns around, i'd like to see the electric/bio effect like Reb has pitched, quoted below... again because i love it so much XD

Gonna put this up for last time....Enjoy

Ice Storm

Based off the Grind Fragger

Nano=Bio/Ice
50% proc of "Ice-Shoes"

Boost original stats by 35%

Cluster shot with nano. Courier with nano.

Suggested the below as well. Thoughts? Note: I think adding the EEC abilities to other guns would be fun.

Base weapon: VBI SO-2 Courier
EGO Effect: X% Chance on a full reload to produce a Blur-Like Effect. Cooldown: 10 sec.
Nano: Radiation
Rolls: Full Damage Radius/Velocity/DMG/10% Ego Recharge on Reload/Reload
Description: There has only been one other JP Courier as far as I can remember (the APS Courier). Would be great to have a courier with a nano. This gun is designed to be a fast reloading Run-n-Gun. Fire away, reload, run and Fire Away again.

Base weapon: VBI CS-X Clustershot
EGO Effect: When Shields are down, damage is increased by X% Cooldown: 10 sec.
Nano: Electric or Radiation
Rolls: Recoil/Reload/Mag/Fire Rate/DMG
Description: There has not yet been a Clustershot JP. Why electric nano? If there was going to be a nano of every type this nano would fit in well with a Clustershot. This gun can be a support gun. First shoot a whole area with shells. Shock all the enemies on screen then finish them off with primary. This gun would also do well against 99ers and DM. If not electric then make the gun radiation. Note: purple Fire Rate roll like Laying Goose.

Suggested Radiation on the Grind Fragger as a good all around gun. So that all people could enjoy it. I think Electric has it's place as well which is why I suggested it on the Clustershot version that I proposed as well as the Electric (or Ice) Cataclysm/Bonfire variant I suggested as well.

Base weapon: VBI Bonfire
EGO Effect: X% Chance on a full reload to produce a Blur-Like Effect. Cooldown: 10 sec.
Nano: Electric
Rolls: +1 Mag/Reload/Full Damage radius/10% EGO Recharge on Reload/DMG
Description: This VBI Bonfire based JP would be similar to Cataclysm (note the +1 Mag white roll) but instead of a fire like effect have an electric or shock effect. Would be useful as a good secondary support weapon.

every single weapon has had 1 or more named/event but for the few volge weapons aka typhoon,thunder pistol, lighting rifle . why cant these 3 can get to be named? let see the smg has had way to many named beside shot guns (all types) ar all but the typhoon. and even the pistols and detonators and rocket launcher as well have had a few named.

but typhoon and thunder pistol and lighting rifle have never had a named weapon todate !!


and what in the hell is vfx ??

No DLC weapons. They require the DLC to use and should not be changed so anyone can use them.

VFX= Visual Effects

I would have a few negative responses to the lists already posted but I will confine myself to advising that the bad-VFX weapons not be included.

It would be neat to see the snowball launcher from last year come back in a viable form. I don't think we have had a big boomer event jackpot that was available as an ingame reward yet (AT and ASH are bitstore and don't count)--I know one is coming of course but it would presumably be gone by the time Christmas comes around.

Now here's stretching it a bit if the boomer idea doesn't seem good: you could reskin the pool effect from the Scourge/Corruptor and have it as a snow-snare effect with the same gameplay mechanics but a very different flavor. Those two weapons are meta-important so it would be good for newer players to have an opportunity to get them.

And of course one can't forget the candy cane, it'd be an amusing toy though of course not a serious weapon. It'd be worth it just for the pvp vids of people beating each other down with them.

After reading all this. Im interested on the out come. I love the idea of all weapon type drops as earlier stated like the old pl8 event. All I want for xmas is more balance. All gun types swords and bmgs inculded with synergy and all nanos.
Snowball det was fun before.

[Hexthat]

Instead of nerfing the awesome visual effects of stuff, why not just make a "safe mode" option to turn off this kind of stuff.

[Akira Kimekawa]

I took two ideas and fused them in a way I think would make the Grind Fragger jackpot more unique and useful.

Base weapon: VOT Grind Fragger (Jackpot Name: Ice Storm)
Special Effect in Description: When Shields Break, increase Reload Speed by 25% for 5secs. (Cooldown: 20 sec.)
Nano: Electric
Rolls: x1.05 Crit Multi
x1.05 Fire Rate
x1.08 DMG
+5% Durability Damage
x2.00 Mag

Synergy: Frostbitten
[1] Increase Nano-Effect Chance by 10%.
[2] Increase Fire Rate and Damage by 5%.
[3] Increase Durability Damage by 10%.
[4] Chance to ice over enemy on hit, enemy frozen for 5 secs. (Cooldown: 30 secs.)

^plus a supreme version
Base weapon: VOT Grind Fragger (Jackpot Name: Ice Storm)
Special Effect in Description: When Shields Break, increase Reload Speed by 25% for 5secs. (Cooldown: 20 sec.)
Nano: Electric
Rolls: x0.90 Reload
x1.15 Crit Multi
x1.10 Fire Rate
+5% Durability Damage
x1.12DMG
x2.20Mag

**special effect in description sorta like those in Gunslinger crates, unique for each gun. I think Grind Fragger would be awesome with an increased Reload effect.... that or Blur. XD

I bet this thread was no help because everyone just suggested everything...
