Ideas for custome Turtle weapons

(869wizard) #1

So it has come to my attention that with only one shield at his disposal, Turtle seems a little under powered. so i thought it would be cool if he had his own unique weapon, like Thunder’s MK46 or Fragger’s K-12. My first idea for Turtle’s weapon would be some sort of rifle-shotgun, that’s all in one, Maybe you would press E or Q to switch between the rifle or the shotgun depending on which one you wanted to fire, and they would each have their own separate magazines so you couldn’t reload it in one go. Anyway that was just my idea, but if you have an idea make sure to leave a reply.

I can’t even imagine that… a rifle shotgun? The closest solution is a shotgun with 2 types of ammo - regular buckshot and a single slug that is accurate and ‘long’ range.

I don’t see how a shield, something that effectively makes you immune to all frontal damage, seems underpowered.

underbarrel?

He isn’t even released yet, maybe he will be completely OP and we all will want him to be nerfed.

Before Aimee got released we all thought she will have a Third Eye and this is obviously useless and nobody would play her in competitive, but then she got a SNITCH instead and she is now a weaker Vaseline but she is not useless like we thought she will be. Don’t say Turtle is weak before he is even released

Maybe the shield will damage people that damage it? Maybe teammates around it will take 20% less damage from attacks? Maybe he will have an extra ability such as self-healing. We can’t know until the release.
A rifle shotgun actually sounds overpowered, I prefer if he just gets a KEK-10 or Blishlok and maybe a Remburg loadouts

I know the rifle-shotgun idea sounds insane, and over-powered. But if the rifle had the fire rate of a Blishlok, and did maybe 13-15 damage it would be pretty reasonable, and if the shotgun did the damage of the Hollunds 880, but it only had 2-3 shots in it’s magazine that would be pretty reasonable too.

Because an ammo station can do the exact same thing while also providing ammunition.

A rifle-shotgun sounds ridiculous.

(869wizard) #8

Yes thank you AnimeDude an underbarrel.

(869wizard) #9

A rifle-shotgun sounds ridiculous.

Well if it sounds so ridiculous what would you suggest?

(BananaSlug) #10

yeah the real turtle tactic, hide, dont shoot, maybe enemy is too stupid to walk around or throw grenade

or maybe MP9 with walking shield for guys to walk behind.

the shield going to have a health and turtle will be rhino slow when he deploy it.

easily flanked but very profitable if used with the amazing magic of TEAMWORK

I would love to have 2 primaries on Turtle instead of primary+secondary (because you people want to compensate his lack of an offensive ability), just like Sparks has 2 secondaries
IIRC Dazzler had 2 primaries equipped - K-121 and M4

Is it? Would it really be that over-powered? Look at Sparks, is she really that under-powered?

BTW i think 2 primary’s is a great idea.

2 Primaries are going to make ammo redundant for any class that uses that dynamic. I’d rather see the concept on a Fire Support instead of an Engineer.

Sparks is pretty underpowered. I’d like to see some kind of buff for the class’s ability to provide medicine/healing.

sparks dont need a gun she is more like a sniper medic she stay away and with a good aim you can do magical things with her reviver even in close range

Turtle has a quote where he talks about giving people armor. So how about a second ability: Give people armor - like you need to shoot 50 armor down before it goes to the health.

Or at least increase the maximum life while you are behind the shield :slight_smile:

Ah so like Torbjorn from Overwatch. I think that could work.

Giving “armor packs” seems more like a Medic thing. Medics are supposed to grant survivability to other players, and having some kind of gimmick where a person tops off their health would be farther in the medic’s forte, and adding Objective Specialist would be extremely powerful.
