--- Quote from: Omega Tyrant on August 22, 2025, 14:29 ---I remember the former idea before and being concerned it would outclass the Trigun without a big firing speed penalty, but with the SoG change making reaching minimum firing speeds no longer possible, even if it holds the same power as the Trigun it wouldn't outclass thanks to the Trigun's firing speed advantage. Just increased accuracy would be boring though for a Unique, perhaps it could have a special type of aimed shot that has autohit (thus making it guaranteed to always hit against in-vision and out-of-vision targets, at the expense of doubled firing time). A special pistol that does encourage more aimed-shooting would be a niche that's currently unfulfilled.

As for the latter, I would need more information on how it would actually function, but if it's supposed to be firing grenades, that may be something better off proposed for JHC, which has grenade launchers as a separate type of weapon class with its own ammo type (being well, grenades).

And I think more weapons from other Doom games would be neat. I personally would really like the Unmaker and it would be my first choice if I got to choose a new unique, but haven't formally proposed it as I'm unsure how to replicate its progression system in DRL and not just make it a souped up Hyperblaster out of the box.

The Halo pistol encouraging aimed shooting and shooting at enemies outside of the player's vision actually matches one of the ways it's used in CE, which is a neat touch. Of course, it's a powerful weapon at any range.

Maybe instead of the Marathon assault rifle there could be the dual-wielded WSTE-M5 Combat Shotgun from Marathon 2, which each only hold 1 shell (for a total of 2) but reload very quickly. Perhaps in exchange for such a withering rate of fire, you can't switch to an offhand item while they're equipped, since they're dual-wielded.

The dual-ammo idea might fit better with the M41A Pulse Rifle from Aliens, which was itself an inspiration for Doom. A 99-round magazine with 4-round bursts, that can also shoot rockets - I know it shot grenades but honestly I think rockets could fit in this case. It would make a pretty deadly unique.

The only other Doom weapon I can think of to suggest is the SMG from Doom 3, called the MG-88 Enforcer. It could fit as an exotic with a bigger mag than the chaingun and faster reloading but less damage.
