The Horrible Ideas Thread

Doesn't the fat man belong in the normal item suggestion thread?

I vote Game Hunter record this in song (full version, so the whole counting up from first day till the twelfth) and put it on youtube for all of us to loop.  =D

Diddo laptop

Oh Game Hunter....

Spiderdemon weapon drop.

Chainshotgun
Pickup Text: This is it. You can't get anything more ridiculous than this, folks.
Inventory Text: A fully automatic belt-fed shotgun! Hell must have some pretty crazy engineers.
Artifact
Automatic Shotgun: Affected by all chainfire *and* shotgun perks. Allowed in AoSh.
Capacity: 80 rounds
(9d3)x4 shrapnel damage, focused shotgun blast
Alt Fire: Chainfire

I can currently confirm that the Spider Mastermind will not be dropping anything of that sort.

[tiw]

Why else is this in the Horrible Ideas thread?

[raekuul]

Because the weapon is horribly overpowered? Besides, what's the point of dropping a weapon that the player won't have time to use?

[tiw]

That was a rhetorical question :p

[Ander Hammer]

Skilled is the shottyman that can assemble and load a specialized ammo belt into his chainshotgun in the time it takes to move a step.

[Bloax]

Nah, it'd be better if you had to load all the shells in, one at a time.
AoRa comes to mind. ;))

[Shinji_Ikari_9th]

what about a gattling shotgun, like what they tried to build on the show 'Sons of Guns'? now that would be sweet.

[MICu]

You assemble Plasma Rifle with Thermonuclear Bomb. Rapid fire nukes instead of energy. You win the game.

What?

[raekuul]

In some other universe, that would be an awesome idea. Sadly, in this universe it would fry Doomguy as well as his enemies.

The Destructinator
Plasma Rifle + FONS
Plasma Damage
(5d5)x7
((5-25)x7) -> 35-175
Max Clip Size 40
Regenerates 1 shot/step
Altfire: Railgun Blast (damage is 35d5, consumes 40 shots)
Altreload: Trigun

[Deathwind]

Drop the O for a B, up the number of shots, clip down to 30, alt-reload to overload and adjust the damage a bit and it could work.

[raekuul]

The Destructinator
Plasma Rifle + FNSB
Plasma Damage
(5d5)x10
((5-25)x10) -> 50-250
Max Clip Size 30
Regenerates 1 shot/step
Altfire: Railgun Blast (damage is 50d5, consumes 30 shots)
Altreload: Overcharge Nuke

Better? I preferred it the old way since it made you use all four Exotic Mod Packs in order to get a massively OP weapon

[AtavisticPuma]

Everyone keeps asking about automatic shotguns, but that's what the Jackhammer is already supposed to be;

anyway, my horrible idea:

Weapon Jamming & Barrel Overheating:  occasionally firing attempts fail and you are forced to retry the shot, or even reload

(might be a desirable feature to have for certain mods, actually)
