Suggestion: mini crewmates should be rollable, at least for Amogus characters

[Xdiesp]

Using mini crewmates instead of weapons would be a lot of fun, if it could be done outside of Polus Replica and in all other maps. But they simply can't be rolled in levels ups, unless you get an Amogus weapon which kinda kills the fun.

I'd like to pair an Axe to a Horse mini crewmate, or a Rune Tracer to an Imposter mini crewmate. There's no reason why you can't try that, outside of Polus Replica. Please make it happen, even if this is only possible on some characters (i.e. the Amogus ones) or via menu options, or the Randomazzo.

Why? The amongus crewmen is just fancy accessories, nothing more.
Its good you cant roll them without a matching weapon as they otherwise would clutter up the pool on level ups.

The mini-crewmates are literally identical to the weapon they mimic, just with a max rank of 3. For example, if you want Axe with Mini-Horse, you can get the same effect picking both Axe and Grand Jubilee, then banishing Grand Jubilee after rank 3.

They function like low level weapons, but they occupy accessory slots: allowing you to use builds with no passive accessories, but only crewmates.

As I said, this is also doable on Polus Replica. There's no need to postulate or dig up why this is necessary or not: it's something that can already be done, however just on a single map. Can't see why it wouldn't be fun to do in every other too.

Polus replica is doable because they are stage pickups. Thats the difference. I dont want to see them pollute the item pool.

As I mentioned in the OP, it would be doable without diluting the passives pool if someone didn't want it. Having an option to toggle it in the menu, or having the feature only on certain (one?) characters.

I would say there’s a pretty major downside to adding the mini-crewmates to the standard item pool. They would dilute item RNG and make it harder to dig for the passives you want. Imagine trying to get Empty Tome so you can evolve your Phas3r, and mini-crewmates keep showing up instead.

Also, while I realize this doesn’t really apply to the discussion of “I think it would be fun”, but I’m pretty sure that things like -40% cooldown or +50% area to all of your weapons will increase your DPS and survivability more than a rank 3 Garlic or rank 3 Knife.

if you don't want them to pollute the item pool, you can just seal them

But if they are sealed, you can't take an Amogus weapon even when it would be useful.
