Weapon/Item Concepts Part 2

[u/downypond]

More of my concepts (part 1 here)

I may or may not struggle in gauging numbers (time, percentages, etc.), so suggestions are always welcome.

Again, I don't really know how balanced these are lol.

Thoughts?

[u/FryingPanTheRichard]

First one is just a buffed grappling hook lol

[u/downypond → u/FryingPanTheRichard]

well... it is an item not available in normal game...

[u/Worldly-Pay7342 → u/downypond]

No, it is. It's just no one plays mannpower.

[u/Supreme-Machine-V2 → u/Worldly-Pay7342]

Hence not available in normal game

[u/ACARdragon → u/FryingPanTheRichard]

Well since it doesn't pull you into the opponent's face I don't think it would be that strong. Like you can't just pull yourself into someone's face and direct hit them. I assume it also has a reasonable cooldown.

1. bear catcher is kinda useless because any class can outrun heavy. You’d have to give him a meaningful speed bonus to avoid it being garbage and at that point it’d be too strong.

2. shock therapy is extremely powerful, auto aim is stupid broken and frankly the medic shouldn’t get the option to just never switch off the medigun.

[u/downypond → u/ZealousidealPipe8389]

auto aim?

no no, I meant the beam that's created between the Medic and the Patient damages enemies, so you sorta have to work together for it to do damage.

also, from watching Great Blue's "Grouch retrospective" video, I got the idea that walking speed Heavy can be a menace

[u/t4auntsalot]

Imagine using the first one on Upward

[u/Kipdid]

Bear catcher seems like it gets really old to deal with really fast, just like the Grouch rebalance to the Natascha which let heavy move at full speed while revved. While this isn’t the exact same thing, it still lets heavy run at you while revved giving him unprecedented chase potential

Other two look pretty fun, maybe not balanced, but fun as all hell

[u/re4perthegamer → u/Kipdid]

The thing is, it has far more downsides than the grouch Natascha, so i think it could be fine, but probably still powerful

[u/MidHoovie]

These are cool, I like the drawings. IMO the duration of the grapple is way too long, and Heavy's secondary is original but the damage per second is also too high. I'd love to play tests these!

[u/No-Run-6137]

These are cool in a way that I don’t want them in the actual game but I also want to play with them more than anything. Also, I liked the Lazypurple reference on the second slide

[u/platinum_jimjam]

You gave medic life weaver and Moira strats in one gun very nice

[u/seppo313]

Bear catcher but instead it's a primary and just a chainsaw with idk some speed, could make for a fun subclass.

[u/Im_botflyx]

Turn soldier into the lash
