ERDW possible Advanced Weapon Option

think we were thinking about a return of the relics for chaos... which is similar to what you are talking about.

The sheer combination of the chaos and standard weapons would be interesting however. Imagine a napalm rocket or a flash vortex (blinds people when it spawns, making it hard to grapple to safety). Or attaching a lasermine to a cutter blade and having it shoot out with the beam on, if it hits anyone while flying it detonates (now THAT would be sweet)

What would be really cool is another ammo type for the claw 2, namely Vortex Proxy mines. They wait till they sense movement, then SUPRISE!

"But I think for the upcoming Turret it would be nice that the basic part is the pickup and the weapon addon it is using will be set by the weapon and ammo you provide it... so it is gonna be some kinda "build your own mega-turret"

so does this mean that once you get the turret pickup , you can attach any type of weapon you want , to make an ERDW turret , for example? or a cutter turret , or a grenade turret etc...

ALSO while were on the topic of weapon modifications , how about a COMBO move that turns whatever weapon you currently have equipped into a superweapon and gives you one shot with that weapon. Examples of this would be ,

ERDW=massive wall pentrating shot, And I mean massive like 15ft wide doom ray massive.
Claw2=Proxy carpet bombing.
Cutter=a semi melee attack in which the blade goes out to the end of the gun and spins like a buzzsaw for 20 seconds , allowing you to instagib/slice anyone you touch while its spinning.
Crossbow=fires 40 arrows in all directions outward from the player , doing 2x damage each .

Etc...

I've never hit a proxy on my way into a vortex , but I'v had one picked up from just in front of me , slung around the vortex , and slung back into me , exploding on contact.

That sounds pretty cool - kind of like the Tome of Power did in Heretic? Maybe it would be better if the powers were a little toned down (so the hail from the crossbow would cost the actual amount of arrows fired) or maybe adrenaline related? A kind of Enhancement combo that provides extreme firepower for a few precious seconds (but has to be earnt like the other adrenaline abilities) Perhaps the crossbow arrows could impale victims to the landscape (taking them along for the ride) or the Rocket Launcher could have the limit of three rockets for a multi-shot removed (so that it would be possible to unleash unlimted amounts of carnage in a single shot, provided you've got the ammo).

thats exactly what i had in mind

the way i had it though out , it would cost you all of your ammo for the weapon you used the combo with. but the result would be well worth it.
