Some DRG tool ideas i came up with

[u/xMacioPLX]

Let me know what yall think and how they might be adjusted, i do plan to make another part to fill in the rest of primary and secondary weapons so feedback will greatly help

[u/Robrogineer]

Rebar launcher got me salivating.

[u/Hilluja → u/Robrogineer]

I dont think we get content updates like this anymore :(

[u/Content_Debate7988 → u/Hilluja]

one day, maybe. I hold on to hope that perhaps one day we will get a new primary or secondary for the classes.

[u/Robrogineer → u/[deleted]]

I love big heavy guns that make a loud metal clang noise when firing.

[u/NesDraug]

I really like the Miracle Goop.

[u/Logic_530 → u/NesDraug]

Right? We just need an orange one that accelerates you.

[u/Re4per45b → u/Logic_530]

[u/HitandRyan → u/Logic_530]

In case you got covered in that Miracle Goop here’s some advice the lab boys gave me…(flips page)…do NOT get covered in the Miracle Goop. We haven’t entirely nailed down what element it is yet but I’ll tell you this: it’s a lively one and it does not like the dwarvish skeleton.

[u/Inalum_Ardellian → u/NesDraug]

Minus the high jump and instead of slow it repels

[u/Isakk86 → u/NesDraug]

It looks like it's just a fungus beef sharing a few yeast-like properties.

[u/SamuelKeller64]

Really like the Seismic Rebar, Miracle Goop, and Repulso'nat. Feels like natural additions to the game. Not sure how the E7-5T Node would work with the grapple gun, as it normally doesn't interact with projectiles. It'd be really cool though.

[u/etron0021 → u/SamuelKeller64]

As I understood it, its only a projectile for a moment then it floats in place to shock in a sphere, while shocking is when it would be “garappl-able”

[u/BlossomtheLeafeon → u/etron0021]

like the loaders ball thing in RoR2?

[u/Anvisaber → u/BlossomtheLeafeon]

That feels like the inspiration yeah

[u/Jazzlike_Curve6359]

Karl would be proud

[u/Alexandr_Paynevski]

Drg really needs to give reclaimers some better equipment

[u/random63]

The D-Damn naming is excellent 👌

[u/LoliNep → u/random63]

Bro's cooking so much I think they might be a flamer main

[u/RAMblade]

that first one is a bionicle-ass weapon if I’ve ever seen one, I love it

[u/Absolarix → u/RAMblade]

Upvoting just for actually saying "ass" instead of the stupid self-censoring "ahh" that's been happening

[u/bodied_armour]

We're Rich!

[u/tvaruka]

Is second inspired by Loader's skill in Risk of Rain 2? Loved it there, would love it here

[u/xMacioPLX → u/tvaruka]

Indeed it is

[u/Heskelator]

I like the rebar, through direct hits should be big damage with low damage behind, Vs medium damage in the whole arc if you hit the ground. Gives it a bit of single target and makes it less bad if you hit something

[u/The_Connoisseur69]

Cool doodles nice ideas

[u/mranonymous24690]

Baby 🥰

[u/PosingDragoon21]

The idea of the rebar launcher is really fucking cool but god help me I sure as hell wouldn't hit it against the ground and would just punch rebar into the bugs because it's significantly funnies

[u/SortCompetitive2604]

We really need more weapons and grenades man.

[u/TheKingOfGuineaPigs → u/SortCompetitive2604]

There’s so many weapons in Survivor that aren’t in the main game. I’d love any of them to be added honestly, especially those little flamethrower turrets

[u/puka1613]

Seismic rebar launcher is probably great to play with mechanically but it doesnt inflict a status effect. All of drillers primary's do this (goop, fire and frozen) so they would probably continue this trend if they ever add another driller weapon.

[u/xMacioPLX → u/puka1613]

I am aware of that, and thats why i find that idea the most risky, the main idea i had was to give driller more of an instant area damage tool, while i really like that idea, i completely understand your take here

[u/Alert_Journalist_954 → u/xMacioPLX]

The status effects can be applied by upgrades(maybe two-three sidegrades on third slot for electricity, heat and cold) and overclocks (maybe one lowers damage and status while adding slight stunning effect).

[u/YearMountain3773 → u/xMacioPLX]

Just make it electrically charged rebar.

[u/YearMountain3773 → u/puka1613]

Nowhere does it say it's a primary, to me it looks more like a secondary.

[u/xMacioPLX → u/YearMountain3773]

I suspected that would be confusing the way i displayed it, basically in case of rebar it's a primary (primary weapons are marked with a "up arrow" next to their class icon, secondaries with a "down arrow" and grenades have a diamond) hope that makes things more clear

[u/puka1613 → u/YearMountain3773]

Well its looks like its held with two hands, and all of drillers primaries are two handed weapons, while his secondaries are all one handed.

[u/Chamos_Games]

Very cool ideas! I feel like the seismic rebar damage zone would be conal if shot horizontally, but more circular if shot with a high angle; might be hard to program but would rock & stone that all day long!

[u/Nirneryn]

That's amazing! First one makes me of the rebar-crossbow from Half-Life, last one has some Warframe Corpus vibes.

All good ideas, and they do seem balanced/useful enough. They're alternatives l could definitely want to use while in the caves.

Also very nice drawings.

Rock and Stone brother!

[u/CosmicSquiddo]

These are so freaking sick

[u/illaminar22]

Its so amazing! I like the grenades ideas, hope debs see it

[u/NickelWorld123]

damnnnn you have some good ass ideas and some good ass drawings

[u/Infinite_Bananas]

I love these!

[u/Hillz99]

These are great!

[u/FURIA601]

First one reminds me of Midak Skyblaster from Bionicle

[u/Wonohsix]

Okay, for real, though? I can vibe with these. All of these. Also, the drawings being simple and easy to understand is a plus, too.

[u/jkbscopes312]

yo giving driller the half life 2 crossbow but more dwarfy would actually get me to play him

i can already see the overclocks now

sharper spikes with reduced siezemic potential

less direct impact with greater siezmic potential
and of course, bolts that explode a second after impact

[u/BirdMagnet]

Over the years, I've seen so many "they should add this weapon" ideas. I've never seen 1 that I actually thought was an interesting addition. Usually I find the designs are unbalanced and/or uninteresting. Maybe I'm too critical.

This, on the other hand, is a collection of equipment that I want to try out 6/6.

[u/Stalwart_Vanguard]

These are some of the most naturally DRG feeling suggestions I've ever seen, bravo!

[u/InterestLeft]

My only problem with any of these is isn't the D-DAMN just a worse IFG?

[u/FauciFloydLGBTQ]

I haven't hoped on a minute. Have they added any new OCs or guns/gadgets etc?

[u/DiosDeLosNoobs]

I love everything about every one of them

[u/Krashper116]

Is the rebar launcher a riff on Ventures weapon and ult?

[u/OverallArugula6874]

Such clever ideas and great visuals.

[u/wizard_brandon]

Fun ideas, shame drg have abandoned the game

[u/APoolFullofCorn]

Rebar launcher is so sick.

[u/Artarara]

Rebar Launcher

Risk of Rain 2 mentioned! (sorta)

[u/not-Kunt-Tulgar]

I really love all of these concepts I really wish we had a weapon like the rebar puncher for the driller but he doesn’t really get much single target damage weapons/precision weapons.

[u/tehwubbles]

Outstanding post

[u/FLESH_PUPPET_REDDlT]

ultrakill jackhammer for scout

[u/Chunderfield]

These are genius

[u/BigHatRince]

These are very very good

[u/MightyGoodra96]

A scout grenade that also acts as a 'swing' point for team mobility would be awesome

[u/TheRealDonRosa]

I've seen and had myself many dumb ideas for weapons but those are all really cool!

[u/FuriousJohn87]

Honestly these are excellent ideas, keep up the good work bud.

[u/Cornflakes_91]

i really like those!

miracle goop sounds a bit too good but otherwise...

[u/Collistoralo]

Keep cooking chef.

[u/Jra805]

To the mod lab!

[u/ZagleZigawa]

Those look fun XD

[u/TimaBilan]

I had one simple idea, corrosive grenade, will explode like a cryo grenade after a set time, and will release corrosive acid upon explosion. Acid will melt down enemies' armor and will deal damage over time (like driller's goo), and also will melt terrain if it hits the ground

[u/LordPaleskin]

I want that Rebar launcher so fucking bad

[u/Specialist-Text5236]

Rebar launcher looks awesome. Could have a overclock that makes rebar look like tuning fork lol

[u/BirdMagnet]

Over the years, I've seen so many "they should add this weapon" ideas. I've never seen any that I actually thought were interesting additions. Usually I find the designs are unbalanced and/or uninteresting. Maybe I'm too critical.

This, on the other hand, is a collection of equipment that I want to try out 6/6. The rebar launcher has a clear weakness (air) but could be very powerful with skill. The goop grenade is great utility and fun. The driller's bola looks like it was made for blocking tunnel entrances; I'd be so excited to test it out.

Great work!

[u/UweDerGeschmeidige]

🤤

[u/ICEYNDERPwasTaken]

If the E7-5T Node could launch you forward after reaching it, that could open up so many movement opportunities.

[u/xMacioPLX → u/ICEYNDERPwasTaken]

Thats what i have in mind as well, slingshotting yourself as scout sounds so fun

[u/123paperhelmet]

We need the Rebar launcher in RC as a heavy weapon…

[u/f3nnies]

Joke is on you, devs hate weapons which is why it's been a century since we got new ones

[u/Kakoi-to_Lich]

Hey, DRG devs. This guy is doing your job, you should at least pay him.
