Equipment Upgrades:

  • Leveling system for equipment
  • Unlockable upgrade slots min 1-max 2(or 3 because holy chaos batman)
  • Repeats will be listed for my brainhealth
#

Ammo Pack:

  • Recharge ally: Ammo Packs contain equipment boxes that can be used only to recharge non-Ammo Pack equipment's for other players
  • Rigged to Blow: Ammo Packs blow up on collision with an enemy or the ground(or both) shooting rounds in all directions
  • Extra Munitions: Ammo Packs contain more ammunition than usual
  • Elemental Munitions: Ammo Packs picked up by players contain randomly chosen elements(Visual only: Fire boxes are smouldering, Electric boxes Arc electricity to the ground, Acid boxes leak acid, voodoo boxes hum ominously with a purple glow)

Energite Bottle:

  • Energite Exhaust: Instead of throwing the bottle the player drinks it(or splashes it on their face), this makes the healing zone emanate from the consumer in a wider area
  • Experimental Tonic: Infuse the Energite bottle with elemental energies [chosen at the equipment menu in town](Fire makes the healing zone burn enemies in a radius around it, Lightning arcs to enemies around the radius, Acid douses enemies around the area in acid dealing damage over time, Voodoo grants the player life steal while in the radius and for a short time after leaving it)
  • Concentrated Brew: Healing zone heals much more much quicker, Grants players within bonuses to movement, reload speed, weapon draw speed, and jump height(also effects horses) and lasts for a short time after leaving
  • 6 pack bandolier: Player hurls a bandolier of small energite bottles creating 6 small healing zones(Number is subject to change as fun allows)
#

Impulse Grenade:

  • Overclock & Overdrive: Shockwaves are generated faster and more intensely
  • Elemental Enchantment Shockwaves still push players away but deal a flat elemental damage to nearby enemies caught in the blast(this causes elemental interactions to occur unlike experimental tonic & elemental munitions, voodoo deals life steal damage which heals the player or spawns healing candles on enemy kill)
  • Bullet Strike: Allows the player to shoot the impulse grenade to detonate all shockwaves at once dealing massive damage to enemies and players nearby as well as pushing both enemies and players(impulse grenade no longer generates shockwaves on its own and must be struck to detonate. (Picking this disallows you from picking Tampered Gears))
  • Tampered Gears: When the player goes to throw the Impulse grenade it detonates in their hand pushing them in the opposite direction from which they are facing and dealing damage to enemies within the radius of the detonation(Picking this disallows you from picking Bullet Strike)
#

Ammo Pack:

Recharge Ally Upgrade Interactions:

  • Recharge ally & Rigged to blow: Ammo Packs also drop 1 un-upgraded Energite bottle and explode once in a large area like a pulse grenade sending enemies(and players) away. (This makes the ammopack not drop ammo or recharge equipments as it all explodes)
  • Recharge ally & Extra Munitions: Ammopacks drop more ammo and recharge multiple charges of equipment given the players can hold more than one
  • Recharge ally & Elemental Munitions: Doesn't Interact in any way other than having both upgrades present.

is this inspired by DRG's overclock system?

Nope, I spent like 3 hours just thinking of random stuff and trying to make it work. Of the equipments listed I think I could do better on the impulse grenade upgrades

#

I feel like upgrades to each equipment to allow them to be more versatile will make people pick different ones more often. Before impulse grenade I saw no reason to pick energite bottle over ammo pack and after it was added I see very little reason to choose ammopack over impulse grenade. Mostly because ammo is not scarce at all. And because impulse grenade saves a lot of travel time
