Blood cannon is amazing

[Yowaiko]

And by amazing I mean overpowered.

Wat it doo

It can spawn as early as 5_2. I have never been so hyped over a weapon I think.
Imagine the blood cannon as a lightning cannon but with blood explosions, a faster rate of fire, and unlimited travel time. It also doesn't get reflected.

The explosion on impact doesn't hurt you as well. It also only takes three ammo. What it effectively does is clear a whole region of bullets and does great damage. I need to try this with Eyes' ultra!

[Yowaiko]

Just did it on a crystal run I did to see how I'd do as an OP character (I usually only ever play eyes) got to second loop before phase 2 of the throne cornered me.
And as I understand it, squirt, it launches a ball of constantly exploding blood explosions that continue forth till hitting an enemy, wall, and MAYBE projectiles? didn't test too much. Fires pretty fast, too. May have just been 18 health plus stress though.

I just got it too, made the palace a breeze.

And it just makes squirty fart noises as it travels.

What's not to love?

Another weapon that will be quickly forgotten as soon as the next pretty object gets introduced.

Too bad it energy without back muscle runs out of ammo very fast,especialy energy swords and plasma

Still i think the laser minigun should appear at 4-1 and the plasma minigun at 3-1,its not like you will have ammo to spam that weapon

And the flame cannon? The lightning cannon? We have one of these weapons come out every few weeks. Weapons with great potential hindered by inconsistent damage and a low rate of fire. I'm not against these weapons being in the game because I am all about that variety, but the dev team has had much cooler and much more viable ideas in the past. In the long term I don't see this weapon making much of an impact. A bloodzooka or gatling blood launcher might not have the same flair, but I think they would have a longer term impact.

I feel the same Solid, but the pre-existing cannons are good enough. I wouldnt mind the Flame cannon getting scrapped for the blood cannon though.

We definitely need NEW weapons not different versions of older ones that dont need any changes.

I dont see why blood versions of a bazooka would be necessary. Blood hammer is showing some actual dynamic mechanics AND use now that its damage is buffed. Focus on making the blood launcher more dynamic, then worry about the cannon

I would say we don't agree at all. I am not in favor of removing any weapon at this time. I am very much in favor of the flame cannon and would take it over the blood cannon. Both weapons are too silly to actually be top picks, but what the flame cannon lacks in viability it makes up for in how badass it is. I will take a flaming ball of doom that explodes at the end over a few blood explosions any day.

I disagree here as well. Sure some 'new' weapons would be nice, but with all the assets in the game we don't need Paul and JW to go crazy. Outside of bullets and melee I would say most of the weapons have good variety; it just needs to be applied. I think combining mechanics like a bullet weapon with explosive shots or melee weapon that slings splinters as it swings would make more sense.

The issue with the blood weapons is that they have a cool mechanic, but are not really going anywhere with it. The blood launcher is a solid midgame weapon, the blood cannon is effectively a toy for people to play with, and the blood hammer is niche at best. There is no late game, endgame or early game. Sure you can claim that explosives as a whole cover some areas, but what are you going to pick for endgame? Ultra grenade launcher and hyper launcher? Compared with other weapons its a pretty short list. I simply think the blood weapons could do more and be more than a nifty idea.

[splendid ledraps]

Make the cannons too strong and they're all like the lightning cannon destroying everything. Leave them as is and they're gonna be ignored and people will keep their bolt marrow auto crossbows and ultras.


The blood hammer is a great weapon and im dying to see more like it around this game. I cant give a ♥♥♥♥ about more cannons because we already got the lightning one. Making the same cannon for every ammo type is just useless.

Also blood weapons are great, surely im using those other good weapons but if that's all the game gives me i cant complain. It's an entirely different mechanic, a non-harmful explosive that destroys projectiles and has a bigger blast for those groups of enemies.

1. Fire a Blood Cannon projectile
2. Follow the projectile that shields you from all enemy projectiles (blood explosions) and does damage to anything that comes near
3. ???
4. Profit
