New Weapon Archetype Ideas

Here are some ideas I came up with :) Adaptive Burst SMG - Fires 3 Round burst. 450 RPM. - Comparable range to Precision SMGs - Adaptive Pulse damage in PvP. - Very strong synergy with damage perks, but slower TTK for range in PvP without. Aggressive Burst SMG - Fires 4 Round burst. 540 RPM - Great range but limited TTK. - Great single burst damage. Charge Shot Scout Rifles - Baby primary ammo Linears. Requires a short 400ms charge time before firing. - strong single shot damage and best in class range. Detonator Bows - Bows that fire a single heavy arcing projectile that detonates on impact. - Lower single target DPS due to less crit damage but has a wide AoE. - AoE damage doesn’t scale with draw, but its blast radius does. Combat Shotguns (Heavy Ammo) - Heavy combat shotguns. 200 RPM - Deep Mag Sizes (8-10 rounds) with solid base damage (about 1.3x an Agg shotgun) - Magazine based reload instead of a single shell. Caster Fusion Rifles - Fusion rifles that fire a single slow-moving Orb that passes through enemies. - 720ms Charge Time (in line with Precision Frames) - Good damage per shot but projectile requires leading targets. Move slightly slower than Jotunn - No tracking… Precision Sniper Rifles - Heavy Bolt action sniper rifles. - Same body shot damage as High Impact frames but higher crit damage. - 5 round mag, slow reload, low handling. - Rounds have intrinsic overpenetration Aggressive Trace Rifles - Heavy and bulky Trace rifles. - Deep mags and higher base damage, but much lower range and heavy feeling. Precision Trace Rifles - Potent Trace rifles that sacrifice some base damage and handling for improved range and crit damage. - Basically halfway between a sniper and a trace rifle. - Poor stability and lots of kick gets evened out when ADS. - 2.5x-sniper zoom scopes. Lightweight Trace Rifles - Stripped down trace rifles that have improved handling but significantly smaller mag sizes. Spread Shot Glaive - Glaives that fire a spread of 9 projectiles in a Diamond pattern when fired. - Designed for close range engagements with dramatically reduced range but good guard stats and deep mags. Pinpoint Slug Glaive - Glaives that fire a single high velocity precision bolt. Micro Missile Heavy GL - Halfway between a rocket launcher and a GL. - Increased impact damage but very poor blast radius and AoE damage. Salvo Rocket Launchers - Heavy rocket launchers that fire a barrage of smaller rockets with 1 ammo. - Fires 6 per trigger pull with very little delay within the burst. - Each rocket is smaller with reduced blast radius and damage. Rapid Fire LFRs - Very fast charging (340 ms) - fires a single precision bolt with each charge - deep ammo reserves with very high total damage. - Halfway between a LFR and a MG High Impact LFR - Think Sleeper archetype. Light Burst MGs - Fires 6 round burst. 600 RPM.
