Weapons Suggestions Thread. Started 12-21 *CLOSED*

[Brian]

Okay, welcome once again to the official weapons suggestion thread. I'll be announcing some of Mike's favorite weapons, ideas, and names from the last thread in a few days. One note, because of a few suggestions last time...keep it clean. This is a family game.

EDIT
********

Greetings and salutations. Let’s get this rolling.

Mike enjoyed a number of Zwaken’s ideas, including the effect described in Sun Shot, Rapid Fire, Double Hit, Explosion Laser, Dust Balls, Foxhole, and Luck

Zone101 also had some suggestions marked up, including Auto-Aim, Slinky, and Arrows, as well as a host of weapon names.

Yiuo was tapped for the effect behind Bunker Buster, and Shooting Star as well.

Liquid Dirt by Revived??? was also included as an interesting effect.

Everlast had a few as well, including Flaming Marshmallows, Smoke Screen, and Power Shot.

Skix deserves praise for his Micro Bunker and Plutonium. Apparently Mike doesn’t want to piss off Chuck Norris by making a weapon that is insufficiently Chucktastic.

Mike apparently also found some inspiration in Xap’s Air Bomber.

Also intriguing was the suggestion by Teddyboy09 of Fire Wheel.

Finally deserving of mention is Zantetzuken’s Sand Blast.

Thank you all for contributing your ideas, time, and thirst for more weapons. If you didn’t make the list of notables this month, keep trying! I’ll try to keep this thread to a more manageable length this time.

[Brimstone]

First reply! Great we get to see who has some good ideas for the future.

Grappling Hook: Shoots a bullet then pulls you to where it landed does 25 damage if it hits something.

Shield; Very simple, protects from one attack.

[Yiuo]

Hurricane - Like "Laser Battery" (not "Laser Strike") but has "Hail Storms" and debris in it. Debris maybe like "Rockslides" (but with no damage) or like "Volcano" debris. ...yes you would have to weaken it a bit.

Frag Grenade - Makes an explosion about the size of a "Single Shot" and shoots out fragmentations affected by gravity (so its sorta like "Porcupine" in a way). It doesn't necessarily explode when it gets close, but has a 4 second timer.
Should do some pretty good damage because it has a timer instead of proximity explosion.

Flash-Bang Grenade Similar to "Single Shot" but has a flash like "Flash Blast" that screws up power and angle.

Tell me what you think of these.

[Zwaken]

Hurricane I like, Frag Grenade sounds a bit like pillow fight and Flash Band Grenade is my favorite out of those 3.

[Was It Me?]

The Hurricane name has been taken, but I don't think the idea has. :)

Flash-Bang Grenade sounds cool. It's my favorite of those three.

[Xap]

Yeah, I think that Flash Bang Grenade sounds cool too.;)

[Yiuo]

I know lots of people have posted this idea, but I would REALLY like to see a weapon that coats the whole terrain in bouncy dirt. A cool idea would be that bouncy bombs rain from the sky every few paces, coating the whole ground in bouncy, damaging tanks, and making a jagged wavy terrain of bouncy.

[Everlast]

Hornets Nest: Like Bee Hive but deals more damage.

Falling Stars: Where ever the shot lands 4 stars come in from random directions and hit that spot. Does 10 damage per star.


I like the grenade ideas. But I like Frag Grenade better.

[???revived]

Shield; Very simple, protects from one attack.

Great idea. It can be useful if you are coated in dirt, thereby granting you a turn to spare, with your opponent having to waste one of his or her weapons...

[Zwaken]

Cobwebs-Shoots 30 of dust particles that make grey dirt. each one gets 2 points.

Energy-A shot that explodes onces it gets as close as chaos grenade gets when it explodes. 10 small rollers come out of the shot and get 10 points each.

[Zwaken]

Global Warming-Shoots some fire and 20 bullets that come from acid rain. the acid rain bullets get 3 points each.

[Yiuo]

Hornets Nest: Like Bee Hive but deals more damage.

Well if its just a buffed version of a weapon, whats the point?

[Everlast]

Well if its just a buffed version of a weapon, whats the point?

.......:anirolleyes: ............the dots will be blue! :eek:

Well there are a lot of buffed up weapons, like

Skipper > Super Skipper

Dirt Ball > Big Dirtball > Mud Pie

3 Shot > 5 Shot > 10 Shot

Lazer > Super Lazer

ect...

[Yiuo]

Lol true...

Though in the game options to exclude weapons, I do remove normal Zappers and etc.

[Was It Me?]

To go along with Zwaken123's Global Warming...

Global Cooling
Tank fires a mixture of a mini Snowblower (not as much snow as the big version) and mini Snowballs at a similar accuracy as the big version. :)

I'm a big fan of global cooling... :P

[Yiuo]

I'm a big fan of global cooling... :P

Lol, or you could call it "Ice Age"

[Zone101]

Snake
Fires 10 magnetic bullets (as seen in Lodestones and Carpet Bomb (sort of)). These stay on the ground at all times like a snake. They travel along the ground (depending on your power) until they hit terrain that's too steep, hit your opponent, hit another object on screen or go off screen. 5-10 points for each bullet. Average of 50 points, maximum of 100 points Difficult for experienced players to reached over 90 points.

[Xap]

Interesting idea.:)

Carpet Bomb certainly isn't magnetic, but beehive could be described that way.

[Strider_033]

Land mines: Fire a shot, and it covers the ground in roughly 10 particles, and when moved across, or hit with another weapon, they'll explode.

Ice Bomb: Kind of like, the dirt ball, except it does the damage of a hail storm, and leave the opponent frozen in ice.

Fire... err something: Simmilar to the solar flare, except it rains down fire, and does roughly the damage of Lava

[Zwaken]

Well if its just a buffed version of a weapon, whats the point?

There have been other "beef ups" such as super skipper and mega cruiser so it wouldn't be too bad.

[Xap]

.......:anirolleyes: ............the dots will be blue! :eek:

Well there are a lot of buffed up weapons, like

Skipper > Super Skipper

Dirt Ball > Big Dirtball > Mud Pie

3 Shot > 5 Shot > 10 Shot

Laser > Super Laser

ect...

Cruiser > Mega Cruiser
Roller > Mega Roller (I actually forget if that's what it's called)
Mountain Mover > Earth Mover
Zapper > Super Zapper
Popcorn > Burning Popcorn
Magic Wall > Crazy Wall/Great Wall

wow, there are a lot of them...:shocked:

[Zwaken]

Cherry Bomb-Shoots a cherry that explodes as big as big shot (20 points for that) then out comes 10 seeds (5 points each)

[Everlast]

Cherry Bomb-Shoots a cherry that explodes as big as big shot (20 points for that) then out comes 10 seeds (5 points each)

I like that idea. Mabye there should be another one called M-80.

[???revived]

Roller > Mega Roller (I actually forget if that's what it's called)

'tis called a Heavy Roller...

[Xap]

Ah, thank you.;)

[Zwaken]

Mystic Shots (inspired by the song by Camel: Mystic Queen)-Shoots 50 mystery bombs that have small explosions and do 3 points each. Also has the effects of wacky tank.

[Xap]

Ooh, I really like that one!:)

[Zwaken]

Maybe I should start making weapon idea names off of songs...this is just a regular idea.

Broken Plate-shoots a plate that breaks into 5 pieces that spread out like porcupine once it reaches a certain angle like flare. Then those 5 pieces home in. Each piece gets 15 points. Explosion size is slightly bigger than single shot.

[Zone101]

Higher Ground
Increases a small part of ground under your tank.. lifting you high up. Similar to pedistal but lifts you higher.

[Zwaken]

Carbonated Water-Shoots a regular shot that makes an explosion that's as big as big shot and gets 20 points. Then, 3 other explosions occur (like chain reaction, but more concentrated or closer together) that get 15 points each. After that, water goes everywhere (like in aqua bomb)

Low Valley-Lobs a shot that acts like Melt Down. once the shot hits your opponent, it gets 10 points, but doesn't make an explosion and hardly any explosion kick. then, starting from the bottom of the screen going upwards towards the tank, are a series of 20 explosions with the size of single shot. Making the tank go downwards A LOT! If the tank happens to be at the bottom of the screen then the shots that lower the ground (if they hit) only get 5 points each, and only about 1 or 2 would hit.

Did you get all that?

[Everlast]

Wow, that was kinda confusing.....but heres a very simple idea...

Movement Multiplier: Just like a Single Shot but for every move that you have left it multiplies the damage. If you had 0 moves left it would do 15 damage. 1 move and 2 moves left would do 30. 3 moves left would do 45 and 4 moves left would do 60.

[Zone101]

Enclosure
Fires a "Tunnel", behind the tunnel sprout two walls about the length of 2 tanks apart. This basically locks your opponent between 2 walls while allowing you to fire up a tunnel to blast the wall and your opponent. Also your opponent won't be able to use the tunnel because it's on the other side of the wall.

[Blind89]

Sorry if the names or Ideas are already taken.

Air Strike: launches one missile into the air off screen, then more come down, about 10 missiles.

Last Chance- If you lose the game, you're given one lase chance to redeem youself, by a weapon sort of like the Sniper, no explosions or anything, just that one shot. And If you hit the enemy dead on, your points are matched up with the enemys, plus one. Rarely Becomes Available

[Zwaken]

The name "Air Strike" has been used a lot...

Parter-Shoots a fission bomb, but instead of parting when it hits the ground, it parts in the air. So the longer the shot is in the air, the more potential damage.

[FredEx]

Tremor or Landslide

Makes the ground under the opponent unstable and messes up their aim and power. On the flat it would be like a tremor moving them around a bit, on a hillside the effect would be like a landslide causing the opponent to slide down the hill as the aim and power are effected.

[FredEx]

Black Widow

A weapon that after the hit drops from above...A Black Widow spider drops down on a thread then begins spewing venom down upon the opponent having a point effect like napalm.

[Zone101]

Turret Upgrade
Slightly increases the size of your turret allowing an extra 15 points for every weapon that gets under 100 points. But only allows an extra 5 points for weapons 100 points or over.

[Buckdida]

Plow-Like a single shot, but if it hits your opponent directly, it shoves them 4 layers into the ground, and then the dirt above covers them.

[theguy0000]

CruGlue - like a cruiser/cruball because it rolls but it also leaves a trail of glue dirt. when it hits a tank/incline it explodes like the size of big shot and shoots glue around the hole, just like bouncy bomb except with glue.
http://www.theguy0000.com/ico_cruglue.PNG

CruBounce - just like CruGlue but with bouncy dirt.
http://www.theguy0000.com/ico_crubounce.PNG

[Zone101]

Rust
After landing it creates a small explosion and releases a pool of water. This can get you an average of 30 points and a maximum of 50 points. The water will then form rust which contracts on your opponent for a view seconds giving you a few points in 1s.. minimum of 5, max of 10. Then the rust creates an explosion giving you 50 points every time.
This weapon will get you an average of 85 points, max. of 110.

[Zwaken]

Asteriod Field-When the shot gets as close as pinapple does when it explodes, it shoots 30 asteroids (gravity has no effect) like how shredder does when it explodes. Gets 4 points each.

[Zone101]

Dirt Defence
Creates a large box of dirt around you with a layer of Bouncy Dirt on top. And then fires a tunnel wherever your angle is facing.

[Ma6irinata]

Lonely Shot:opposite to Scatter Shot.The idea is: some lines begin their way near to you and then they unite in one near you.Something like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\Ivan_Vanev\Desktop\Cheats\ptanks.bmp



Surprise:a fist jumping from present.Does 50 points of damage and has average range(after launching).Actually I just can't understand how nobody had suggested this.

C:\Documents and Settings\Ivan_Vanev\Desktop\Cheats\Fist.bmp


Cave:The hole is little bigger than the tank size so the tank can fall in.
The stalactites are the same dirt as the snow.

C:\Documents and Settings\Ivan_Vanev\Desktop\Cheats\Cave.bmp




Mine:No comment.

Ball of Thread: Same as the Static Ball but stays on place.Deals 5 Damage per shot with maybe some Initial Damage(20 for example).

Looping: On the half of the way makes Looping.Deals 30 damage with small Explosion.

Static Shield:If you are hit ,deals 5 damage to your opponent.

C:\Documents and Settings\Ivan_Vanev\Desktop\Cheats\Static Shield.bmp

[Ma6irinata]

oops I've mistaken the images.
Sry!

[Ma6irinata]

[QUOTE=Ma6irinata;9725]Lonely Shot:opposite to Scatter Shot.The idea is: 5 lines begin their way near you(the middle is at your turret) and then they unite in one near you.Deals 75 damage if all are united(x15/line).





Surprise:a fist jumping from present.Does 50 points of damage and has average range(after launching).Actually I just can't understand how nobody had suggested this.




Cave:Creates hole in the gorund which is little bigger than the tank size so the tank can fall in.Also makes stalactitesin the hole which are the same dirt as the snow and between them -some kind of Hail Storm.

Mine:No comment.

Ball of Thread: Same as the Static Ball but stays on place.Deals 5 Damage per shot with maybe some Initial Damage(20 for example).

Looping: On the half of the way makes Looping.Deals 30 damage with small Explosion.

Static Shield:If you are hit ,deals 5 damage to your opponent with some kind of Zapper.


[QUOTE=Brimstone;9390]

Grappling Hook: Shoots a bullet then pulls you to where it landed does 25 damage if it hits something.

QUOTE]

P.S.:I had the same idea but if the hook lands on your opponent it deals some damage and/or pulls him to you.

[Zone101]

Yeah those 3 were my best ones

[jstrok7]

Hi I'm new here but I play pocket tanks a very long time.

Hydrogen Bomb:When missle lands It does same explosion like Pineapple but one part colored orange while other green (Explosion does multiple damage cause you know that pineapple explosion looks like It has two explosions in it, first part of explosion does 40 damage while other 60 ,overall caculated it does 100 damage If It hits directly) and after that It covers field with fire for 3 seconds (Like lava but with 5 flames like Firebolt-It can do maximum of 10 multiple damage If tank is in all 5 flames-which will happen rarely).
So the maximum damage that weapon overall can deal Is 130

Elemental Circle - When white colored shot hits enemy It creates big green dirtball which lands on enemy, after that little orange explosion does 40 damage and does napalm effect (but of course weaker), and it creates little hole in dirtball.After that hailstorm appears It move away napalm and It does multiple damage like hailstorm.After hailstorm, brown explosion appers (Like In Fire In The Hole) and It move away dirt (It doesn't do any damage).

Tetra Disaster:You fire a sign (Like In Lightning rod), and where sign lands a colorful laser hits from sky,laser does 10 damage and It spreads Into blue, red, yellow and green missles whose do: Blue:Hailstorm, Yellow:Napalm,Red:Single Shot Explosion which does 40 damage and Green:Green Explosion which does 40 damage

Hope you guys like those. :)

[jstrok7]

EDIT: Double post, sorry .

[Zone101]

Haha.. I see someones been taking Chemistry.

Sparkle
Fires a projectile which when lands or hits your opponent, it will then release 20 sparkling stars which slowly hover around and generally hover towards your opponent. 5 points per star.

[jstrok7]

Why is that so funny to you !? :rolleyes:
Every weapon is connected with Chemistry ...

Man I had to write new post for this, I think that this Is great idea::D

Cold Zone Blaster:It explodes before It hits enemy (Same like sppiner)
Everything writes on image,and to you Mike,you can even use that picture for that explosion ingame cause It really looks good .
http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/719/coldzoneblasterru1.png (http://imageshack.us)

[Everlast]

Wow, that seams like it would be in the "Uber" cattegory for weapons.

[jstrok7]

Heh,Thanks

- Banana Split - When fired, It explodes near enemy (As pineapple,quadmissle,sunshot...) .
It splits into 4 yellow shots (As single shot but yellow) of which every yellow shot splits into 4 smaller shot (Which look as fireworks mini shots but green) when it gets even more closer to enemy tank .So that's 16 small shots .Every small shot does 10 damage .
This weapon same as Spider,Quadmissle or Pineapple makes a white/yellowish big explosion if it hits far from enemy (It does 80 damage) .

(Sorry for double post of "Cold Zone Blaster")

@Zone101:EDITED ;)

[Zone101]

How much damage does it do

[Everlast]

I'm guessing 160, because he said there are 16 small shots and each one does 10 damage each....

[jstrok7]

I think that Zone101 that zone is talking about big explosion, maybe ! :)

- Fire Splash - It explodes near enemy (As spinner) into a fire spiral which splash fire over all sides of field when it spins .
That spiral does multiple damage of 2 when every line (More halfcircle than line) hits enemy .
Explosion last 1.5 seconds .

Explosion looks something like this but orange color:
http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/7861/spiraldp4.png (http://imageshack.us)

EDIT:Uploaded picture of something that should Fire Splash look like . (Mike would probably make a better looking explosion :D)

(Sorry for bad shape of spiral)

[Kikujiro]

Here's a few ideas I have for new weapons:

Hail Hammer- Jackhammer and Hail Storm mixed together into one big points weapon.

Napalm Hammer- same as above, except Jackhammer and Napalm mixed together.

Tornado- when it hits the opposing tank, it goes down bit by bit as debris swirls around the tank, hitting it. after its done, the tank falls down and the debris collapses on top of the tank, trapping it underneath.

I Really Like The Tornado. That Sounds Really cool

[Zone101]

I'm guessing 160, because he said there are 16 small shots and each one does 10 damage each....

It's alot more than that..

The black ones do 30.. so 30x8=240
The grey ones do 60.. so 60x8=480

Add them and you get a total of 720 :o

[jstrok7]

@Zone101 - You're talking about Cold Zone Blaster, and Everlast is talking about Banana Split. ;)
And cold zone blaster can do maximum damage of 90 to one tank becuase maximum 2 piles can hit one tank (Maybe a little more if explosion of other two pairs of piles touch the tank, so that will be around 110 damage), becuase shot explodes before it hits tank (Like spinner) and gravity doesn't have affect on piles, but it have affect weapon shot - which explodes into explosion with snow and piles . ;)
Look at the picture of cold zone blaster and you see how big distance is beetwen all pairs of piles (Grey and black pile are one pair, look at pic and you'll see) .
Please read more carefully all that's written about CZB and you will see what i'm talking about as for topic, you should read it more carefully. ;)

BTW:It can only do 720 damage if it hits other tanks from close, but that's a bug same as spinner (7280 damage),super nova (3280 damage), windsplash (Around 700 damage), stinger (Around 900 damage) and many other weapons have . ;) (No I didn't wanted my weapon to have that bug, but it can't be evaded)
So don't worry it's not that powerful . :D lol

[jstrok7]

(Hmm, no new posts)

- Butterfly - It shots a straight flying rocket, (Like laser,but which looks something like colorful butterfly and it's pretty much slower than laser), while It's flying, It's shooting colorful bombs under rocket "Butterfly".
It fires 4 colorful bombs in 1 second . (Every bomb does 5 and bounces a little)
If it hits tank directly it explodes like sniper and does 50 damage .

- Tornado - When the shot explodes, it spreads into 120 little shots rising up straight from the ground, looking like an tornado .
When one from tornado hits tank, it does 1 damage .
Here's the picture with text in it for more information :

(Sorry for bad drawing)

Hope you like those Mike, and Brian too (Nah everyone) ;) !

[Death]

I assume by colorful bombs you mean the ones spawned by a colorbomb?

[jstrok7]

I assume by colorful bombs you mean the ones spawned by a colorbomb?

Yes I do . ;)

[zetablack]

Those are so much fun and colorfull :)

[zwillyc]

Some sort of a machine gun/Tommy Gun upgrade that shoots out more rounds like a real machine gun

[zetablack]

I made those my favorite called vulcan. sprays tons of bullets every where! But only does small amounts of damage.

Rubber bouncy ball!- Many colorfull bouncy balls bounce around the area shot doing damage and making ground bouncy.

[Xap]

Rubber bouncy ball!- Many colorfull bouncy balls bounce around the area shot doing damage and making ground bouncy.
Good idea! I love colorful weapons, and bouncy ones!:)

[Zwaken]

Anti Element-Forms like a shelter but with dirt that makes water and fire disappear on cantact.

Electrical Fire-Fires a wider version of Flamethrower and at the same time shoots 5 zappers in a formation like 5 shot. Each zapper gets 10 points.

[zetablack]

Does anyone have an Idea for a train kind of weapon...

[Everlast]

Here are two dirt ideas, I hope no one has thought of these yet :anirolleyes:

Anti-Matter Dirt: When the shots hit the ground, several black bubbles appear and float in the air, but after a short time (maybe 3 seconds) float back down and pop leaving a layer of black ground. If anything hits this dirt it immediatly dissapears. (Except for the tank, for it, it will be like regular dirt.) Has the same effect as if a shot goes off the map. So its basically dirt that acts like the edge of the map. :)

Acid Ground: When the shot hits the ground it shoots up in the air (like glue bomb) and leaves behind bright green dirt. If the enemy tank moves over this dirt it will do damage to the tank. (5 damage per second) But after the tank goes over it, the dirt dissapears. So if you hit the tank dead on when you shoot it, it will do 5 damage.

[Blind89]

Sonic Boom
When fired a lound boom and crash is heard, and the waves of the sounds fire at the enemy. The closer the enemy, the more the damage. I'd say...75 points for the closest shot, and then maybe 15 points decrease as the distance does.

(Sorry If Its Already Taken)

[Xap]

Well, it does sound a lot like Sonic Blast...:rolleyes:

[Blind89]

Hm..that is true lol.. well how about this, If you've ever played Ratchet And Clank, they have awesome weapons, what about one like this?

http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/764/mbnmv7.png (http://imageshack.us)

[Brimstone]

More weapons!

Longbow: Shoots an arrow that deals 25 dmg and stays there sticking them in place like if you got hit with a magic wall, but smaller.

Holy: A yellow shot fires when it is over them it turns into a holy divine beam of light that smites them for 45 damage and does not destroy terrain but turns it lighter.

[Brian]

Alright, guys. this thread is done with. Suggestions have been submitted. Please stand by for new thread and assessment of Mike's favorite ideas.
