If your planning to think "Oh tony is gonna nerf sprinting zombies how nice", no, I saw your reasons, and I saw I wasn't thinking everything about melees while making that thread, so if you still want me to be dead, fine with me. I'm just trying to make a suggestion I think is balanced and not a minigun you can sprint with.

Appearance: While equipping, you will have an instrument on your wrist, and have 10 glowing crystals surrounding you. The crystals will not disappear after you've unequipped them, and they will float and emit a small green light around you.

Trivia:

- The vests and armour that normally give you extra magazines don't, equipping them is a waste unless your planning on more stamina/health.

- This is the first weapon in R2DA to have multiple objects you can throw automatically or with different firemodes, and the second to have penetration.

Survivors:

-This is NOT a weapon that will slow and wipeout everything in your path, beware of that.

-The Brute is a force to be reckoned with, whereas they have a lower chance of being frozen by the crystals.

-You have limited ammo, don't take it as an m249.

-Any of the Secondnary Pistols are recommend.

-You can use this on a horde of zombies, beware your speed is slightly lowered and you cannot sprint while it's equipped.

-If you are being targeted by a zombie in previous rounds, try not to equip the crystals at all unless it's really required.

Zombies:

- Try to go in Unpredictable directions and hide behind objects to not get slowed.

- if you are slowed down. you can easily become headshotted by others.

- If you are a brute, try and suprise attack those using this.

- The Shield will not protect you from freeze, however it will protect you from the damage.

- if you are frozen near a group of survivors, try to use relocate to unfreeze and target the survivor using the crystals.

- Those using the crystals are very noticable, where the crystals still stay with a survivor even after they've uneuipped it.
