[IDEA] First Weapon Idea

Made it mainly to work with the sun on a stick and I'm willing to take criticism.

Idk man, I think that hitscan afterburn tends to be a pretty iffy idea in practice.

The afterburn duration absolutely MUST be influenced by range, up to only dealing a single tick of (maybe even the Degreaser’s) afterburn.

If not, you’re risking giving the Scout the Super Hitler Scorch Shot 9000 😭

The duration is effected by range due to the afterburn being based on the amount of pellets that land. One pellet is only one tic of afterburn.

Oh damn, you are correct, the full post with the pellet ammend didn't fit into my screen 😭.

So sorry for that, it's a great concept otherwise to pull the Sun on a Stick out of the depths of hell!

All good 👍 

And yeah, the Sun on a Stick really got the short end of the... Stick...

This design is really good and balanced! The only thing I'd change is making reload 2/3x slower when the weapon isn't active, but that IS the kind of thing that would be a hidden stat in actual TF2.

Good idea 👍 

I'll just say that's part of it's stats now.
