So the Chemical Thrower

[Formous]

So a leak came out showing a new support weapon for the game that bears a resemblance to the old Tox thrower from HD!. I loved the weapon back then for its high Over time damage and ability to crowd control bugs, especially if you throttle the trigger correctly.

Now it may differ here, but I still like the thought. What do you guys want out of such a weapon? How might you make it work? Creating long lasting gas clouds? Spraying acids?

That thing was my favorite support weapon. I'd totally use the shiz nit outta it if they brought it back.

sounds horrible like the flamethrower

I think that when it comes to bots, anti-tank is the way to go, but for bugs it makes more sense to ignore the armour, and hit them with chemical or biological weapons.

Could be neato.

I really love all things Flame, Chemical, or Gas related, so this is right up my alley. Chemical Warfare ftw! Let's go Warcrimes!

Trust me, the acid gun was incredible in HD1. It could melt bug chargers and tanks

Why does the gas destroy my mortar

Probably because it is Corrosive Gas.

different game, balance guy for this game will make it nigh useless like everything else

I got my fingers crossed for lots of hd1 stuff to come to this game
This one is certainly on that list
Top of my wish list though is the shredder

How about tp3 from 40k? A hyper acid can be possible against metal.

Does it also destroy lamps and chainlink fences? Could be quite a good clutter clearer if it does.

Oh, those lights, those blinding, blinding lights...

No matter what tower they will put, a charger will simply steamroll it in few second when he charge, a bile titan will simply dissolve it in few sec too. Turrets sometime vs bugs are just lame and worthless. I don't even carry them anymore, it's just a waste of stratagem space

I want to know how itll work. The chem shell basically is a slower, more persistent damage tick that ignores armor. I wonder if the chem thrower will do something of the sort. Or if it can create more and more deadly gas fields for long periods of time.

In hd1 it is like a flamethrower but with green gunk, it has short range, tick damage over time, but it also slows the enemy, which is very nice

wow dude, I forgot about that. Go to your settings and adjust the lighting, it helps tremendously.
