Pair of Gauntlets

[tawdry trout]

(This is a reworked idea of my original concept.)

Two large gauntlets with a hex of some kind on them. Melee damage comes from punching.

Ranged Ideas for this weapon:

1.) Pressing the secondary weapon button (LT/RT) spawns a magic ball which can be punched in the direction you want it to go.

2.) Pressing and holding the secondary weapon button charges up a projectile (hadouken/kamehameha) and would have some kind of visual indicator when it's charged. Releasing the button would fire the projectile.

If the devs see this, I will owe you my life if you add them- all I want is some kind of boxing/punching weapon PLEASE 😭

Also, if you guys ever add a weapon update that includes like 2+ new weapons, I think they should be obtained through Insight

OR they could be obtained through completing special delves! Like, a pair of gauntlets for punching makes so much sense for the berserker!

i like this

for idea 2 it could be a mark thats always on, but you cant use another

[tawdry trout]

in addition: the Gauntlets would do melee knockback every second or third attack on medium/large enemies to allow for small combos. one of my least favorite parts of doing fist-only runs in the main game is actually knockback, since you can't follow up a right jab with a left hook without having to move forward again

[tawdry trout]

here's a visual of how it might work

[manic marsh]

yoo w ary

[manic marsh]

art*

[tawdry trout]

thank you!

[manic marsh]

yea thats rlly good

like actually

[tawdry trout]

im gonna model them as well as draw another visual for how the first idea might work with the ranged

[frigid heart]

this is good and doesn't look/feel laike a mod

like*

[tawdry trout]

thank you!

[timber tinsel]

The gauntlets should let you parry 🔥

[tawdry trout]

oh absolutely

[keen plank]

Cause fists don't do it

[tawdry trout]

that's a given

[keen plank]

And it makes it an annoyance to fight the flower things

[tawdry trout]

yeah absolutely

but i think the gauntlets should only parry if you punch with them, but you can block by holding your arms up to your face (like blocking in boxing)

[frigid heart]

prop be too op

if it dose that

[keen plank]

Blocking is OP

And being able to punch projectiles back is OP?

[mortal shell]

yes

[tawdry trout]

sword lets you parry, dagger lets you parry, and the knife and crossbow let you negate a projectile

it's not too OP to give the gauntlets the same treatment

[frigid heart]

he Noticed :0

[frigid heart]

lest go

yippee

[mortal shell]

I look at everyyything

[tawdry trout]

plus if a projectile hits the sword or dagger while it's completely still the projectile just hits it and doesn't get parried

[mortal shell]

this is giving jujutsu kaizen energy

[tawdry trout]

haha good

i wanted to make the last panel funny in some way

so i decided to reference the Purple meme

cus i consistently shout purple whenever i use the miner's mark

[tawdry trout]

what are your thoughts on the weapon idea though?

[mortal shell]

i like the idea of gauntlets personally

would be cool to see the gauntlets grow bigger when you grab relics that affect weapon size

[tawdry trout]

sprout of ivy would be the funniest thing ever

[tawdry trout]

wait i think this might be busted but what if sprout of ivy affected the gauntlets individually

so you have two fully charged gauntlets, punch with one and it resets, but the other stays charged

[tawdry trout]

since weapons can be found in the dungeon now, i think it’d be neat if the gauntlets could be found in one of the mines

[pallid ravine]

Peak art

[tawdry trout]

appreciate it gang

[thin warren]

I think it would be really cool (this would probably be a beast blood upgrade) but it would be cool if you could grab chunks of the floor or wall and throw them at enemies

[tawdry trout]

agreed! the reason that's not the "ranged" option though is because weapons need some way to consistently damage the Beast when you reach it, and relying on environmental luck isn't exactly consistent. it would be cool as an upgrade or side thing though! i just know other gauntlet concepts make it so that using your environment is the only ranged option, and that just wouldn't work for the final boss.

[thin warren]

yeah that was what prevented me from saying it should be the main form of ranged attack, just some extra flare that could maybe provide some utility like stunning regular enemies

[tawdry trout]

agreed! i think it could lead to some cool combos like throwing a rock, running forward, and hitting the enemy

[thin warren]

have you made the beast blood upgrades yet? I don't see any but I probably missed them somehow

eh actually maybe don't do that

might complicate the suggestion too much

[tawdry trout]

tbf that's actually why i didn't, i think providing the basic idea for the suggestion then leaving anything else up to devs (should they consider adding it to the game) is a lot better than coming up with everything and leaving nothing up to interpretation

[undone jetty]

peak suggestion

[ripe igloo]

adding the old ability to grab pots could work well with the gauntlets imo
