Heavy Laser Cannon ( Elisabeth)

[raw kestrel]

Game needs more Retrofuturism

alternative

[undone dock]

just worse minigun

Also retrofuturism is not a staple of tf2c's visual design

arguably its not even one of live's design, it frequently comes off more as just parody

[raw kestrel]

Righteous Bison, Cow Mangler 5000, Pomson 6000, C.A.P.P.E.R, Phlogistinator

[undone dock]

These weapons are hardly principles of tf2's visual design

[raw kestrel]

when what is?

[undone dock]

Minigun, sniper rifle, medigun, flamethrower, rocket launcher-- cartoonish fake weapon design

[carmine tangle]

Nothing burger weapon

[undone dock]

It just minigun but you have to kill yourself to reload

[raw kestrel]

suggest changes

[carmine tangle]

You are supposed to make a weapon, not us

This minigun literally changes nothing
So what are we even supposed to suggest

[undone dock]

there's too little to work with here, you need a better base concept

The only thing to say is that taunting to reload is unreasonably worse when all other weapons just have to walk to an ammo box

There's almost nothing you can do to make that a balanced downside

[raw kestrel]

add
On hit: ignites enemy.

[carmine tangle]

[undone dock]

It still has the DPS of the minigun, the extra damage means nothing

[clear flower]

Yes it most certainly is, what? It’s just toned down. The coil gun, the sentry gun itself, the giant fucking laser outside gravel pit?

[blazing mortar]

pyro but better 😭

[carmine tangle]

I mean yea but not to that degree of alien space guns we got in tf2
Those don't even look like tf2's artstyle

[undone dock]

I would argue that still is in line with spy tech/cartoonish design

[clear flower]

There’s a line, I don’t think Dr gorbort or whatever the fuck crossed it too bad, I will agree that this crosses it but I must adamantly disagree there’s anything wrong with a laser based weapon in TF2

[raw kestrel]

( Dr gorbort) That was my original idea , the artwork that I made was just a copy-paste of some of his guns

what if ( Dr gorbort) made a heavy gun

[clear flower]

Laser weapons in TF2C should probably avoid Dr gorbort designs and focus more on this

Notice the dishes and the rings, wooden stocks and a more “industrial” feel over the typical retrofuturistic sleekness inspired by googie architecture

[raw kestrel]

What is the gun on the left

[clear flower]

Some shit I found on Facebook

It’s a home made prop I can link if you’d like

[raw kestrel]

if i come back to you with a Laser weapon for heavy, but with a different design and stats would you consider it ,

[unborn jay]

Uhhh no

This is not a spy-tech

[barren swift]

Are not in TF2C

[raw kestrel]

i have been playing that one more then base 2ft

[barren swift]

Then why did you use them as staples of TF2Cs visual design?

[static lark]

I dislike the design of Dr gorbort weapons so I second.

Any way, the Minigun is already a laser gun disguised as a bullet gun, with perfect tracking is one of the best weapons in the game. The (excessive imo) bloom the bullets have is to make it less effective at range as the developers wanted to emphasize close range.
