I posted this awhile ago but I wanted to give more thought and make pixel art for it :]

Bat - primary
Boomerang - secondary
(these could easily be switched, actually it might make more sense, I already drew the art though...)

Bat would be slightly shorter than the sword
Boomerang could really be the width of the crossbow or slightly shorter

Boomerang should move in a curved line , so you can aim directly at your enemy and have to make up for it with your throw
I think the boomerang should start with a higher critical chance to compensate for this
Bat is pretty normal but gets much better with beast blood augments

beast blood augments:
1. Rubber bat: bat deals a decent knockback effect and is multiplied on a critical hit
2. Home run: Deflected projectiles deal more damage and fly faster
3. Hit a double: On return of the boomerang it can be deflected with the bat to drive a straight line into the nearest enemy
4. Curved to precision: The boomerang has less of an arc when thrown, making it more accurate
5. Tracker shot: On hit of an enemy, the boomerang has a chance to ricochet to a nearby enemy and deal slightly less damage

Mastery(https://discordapp.com/channels/598266947041230848/1435466485123514388): All parried projectiles can hit twice

ok so it's
the sword and knife but a little less practical, and all of the fun stuff is put behind the beast blood upgrades

I'll give it a uhhh 4/10, I really like the augmentations but it feels so similar to sword and knife

whole fox
#

shittier sword and knife that only seems good because its shameless fistful of dollar beast blood upgrade

#

no offense but this is

#

a bad weapon

#

all the other beast blood upgrades are bad

round geode
#

🐌

whole fox
#

weapons shouldnt be carried by their beastblood upgrades

#

plus this kinda just sucks

round geode
#

honestly half of them hurt the player more than help them

whole fox
#

only good for living your marksman revolver alt fire fantasies in advr literally nothing else

round geode
#

the constant knockback will be such a pain to deal with, and a chance to ricochet means you have to pay more attention to hit the ultrakill reference

#

also home run is just... cat gut mesh

#

like yeah sword does it to with thundering gong but just because it did it doesn't mean it's worth replicating

whole fox
#

the only useful thing i see from this is the passive second parry hit from getting all augments

#

A CHANCE btw

#

i sure do love having rng related beastblood upgrades related to my WEAPON

round geode
#

crit chance upgrade:

whole fox
#

we didnt need them at all

#

was just a gift from the devs

round geode
#

doesn't sword have one too or am I tweaking

whole fox
#

so you could try deflecting and most of the time you’d put effort and just get nothing

whole fox
#

also

#

curved to precision just

#

removes the BOMERANG aspect

#

the whole point of it is to curve

round geode
#

slower knife

whole fox
#

otherwise its just worse double edged beastblood jpgrade mnife

#

also

#

im tired

#

half awake

round geode
#

are you a car perchance

whole fox
#

and on an ipad

#

cant thpe for shit

round geode
#

I can see that

#

go to bed vro

whole fox
#

No

round geode
#

then don't complain ig

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

you should go see the other weapons this user made

whole fox
#

misread tracker shot

#

still garbage tho

#

just switching the two around doesn't make it any less of a sword and knife parody

#

if erthu came out with the throwing knife and sword combo people wouldn't be too impressed

#

well uhh

#

horribly

It doesn’t matter anyway

round geode
#

Every ranged weapon in history exists for the sole purpose of throwing rocks in a more lethal fashion

#

It just happens to be that the rock in question is thrown by an elastic drawstring

#

And the rock is attached to a stick

#

And very sharp

#

Yeah this game isn't very rooted in realism
Books don't normally have balls either

brittle ermine
#

Yeah but that is magic

#

But how the crossbow is displayed it makes it a slingshot

round geode
#

What makes a crossbow a crossbow and not a sling shot

brittle ermine
#

That the projectile is propelled by the ... throwing arms? Idk what the english term is.

#

Same thing with an additional mechanism

#

Wahooga

#

Crossbows don't have elastics. The force comes from the "short part of the cross", the bow. If it has an elastic part it is a Slingshot

I just want to say, he is cooking with the “hit a double” idea tho.

Using the bat to hit your own projectile back at enemies is sick.

whole fox
#

from ultrakill

#

its a sick idea still

#

cool weapon idea but its lacking in alot of things

wanton gale
# whole fox idea IS stolen though

i dont think it should be called stolen
i bet many other games have had the whole parry own projectile into other enemy mechanics before ultra kill
