Zombie Survival Weapon Idea

[ChrisNoobSlayer]

My idea is a grenade launcher. Before you say that it would be too overpowered, lemme first explain a solution.

 

Basic Information:

 

The Grenade Launcher would act like a grenade launcher in Left 4 Dead 2: When you obtain it, you only get a specific number of ammo, and the ammo cannot be obtained from an arsenal crate nor a resupply crate. It would go under the Other section in the arsenal crate menu, like the Suicide Bomb and Detonation Pack. It would also not be obtainable from the worth menu.

 

Weapon Details:

 

Arsenal Cost: 500 points

Starting Amount of Ammunition: 15 grenades

Movement Speed: 210

Clip Size: 1

Rate of Fire: 1

Damage: 400

Reload Speed: 4 seconds

Actual Name: M79 Grenade Launcher

Zombie Survival Name: 'Ultimate Boom' Grenade Launcher

Weapon Description: This weapon has the strength to eliminate a whole horde within a single second.

A weapon like this would not give noobs a chance to get money if your just destroying wave after wave of enemy.

 

And after you use all 15 rounds would you be able to discard your weapon and buy a new one with a full 15 grenades

Maybe we can make the weapon more similar to the one in L4D2. I'm thinking that it could only be accessible through the Source SDK and that it cannot be obtained from an arsenal crate. It is only spawned once in the map.

 

And to answer your question I think if we do make it purchasable from an arsenal that the player can only buy it once.

The issue being explosive weapons are easy to troll with. All a player has to do is fire into a group of props and they're destroyed. The only explosives in the game are the grenade, detpack and suicide bomb. That's going to stay that way for a while. Plus with the grenade launcher it fires an independent entity for the explosive part. Having such a thing on the server would only take up resources. Plus what's being worked on in terms of weapons are to bridge gaps between say the most expensive pistol and the cheapest smg. Make the game more friendly to new players.
