Author Topic: Shotgun Sniper !READ OP!  (Read 13122 times)

I had this great idea of a shotgun sniper, But hear me out before you flame
It fires one bullet, and the bullet does 25 dmg.
But when it gets near a player, it explodes into a blast of shells, each doing 10 dmg each. However, the shells spread, so only some will hit the target, like 3 or 4.
There should also be a 3 or 2 second delay when fired, so that way, if your right up to a blockhead, you'll only deal 25 dmg.

:EDIT: look at page 11 for a diagram.

I'd call it a cluster sniper but it sounds like a pretty neat idea.

Thanks

what's this? a weapon that isn't generic OR overpowered?

I like this idea, hopefully somebody could make it.

i think that the damage should be higher for the slow recharge that you have

Eh, what do you mean?
Oh the delay thingy?
Thats for if you just fire the bullet
See, if a blockhead were 1 sec away, it will deal 25 dmg (only if you hit him)
But, after 3 secs of the bullet being in the air, it can now explode into a shotgun blast once its near the player.

Cool idea, do support

Like you could right click to have the sniper bullet burst into shells when it's in range.

Recoil would have to be huge.


no

its a sniper
Because .50 cal snipers can be fired from the hand because there is no reciol.
What.

Anti tank weapon has hole in back.
Few recoil thanks to that.

It could be like Bushido's or Gravity Cat's sniper where left click makes you go into Scope mode. When in that mode, you can shoot raycast bullets or something similar. When not in that mode, it would fire shotgun shells.

I don't support this. What you said is a shotgun and a sniper, what he mentioned was a sniper that fragments into several bullets when in range.

@the whole recoil thing
Blockland doesn't need recoil. When did we ever have recoil except for those 2 guns with really loud sounds?
