M2 TRIPOD REWORK (46 Kudos!) (Poll on Discord!)
Don't you think that the M2 Tripod is useless now because now it only has 400 bullets? Well I came up with a solution.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM PLEASE
CHANGED STATS :
Ammo: 400/4
Reload time: 5 seconds
Jamming chances: +0.3 per shot (not sure about a balanced percentage)
x2 turn rate when "sprinting" while using the turret (shooting disabled when this is done)
-15% jamming chance when the tripod is unjammed
Read changes below for an explanation about the changes
CHANGES:
- Ammo would have the same amount of bullets but the tripod will have 2 extra ammo boxes to reload
- Reloadable after ammo has been COMPLETELY depleted (5 seconds?)
- Two ammo boxes will spawn next to the M2 Tripod, which show you how many reloads you have left (reloading will play an animation picking up one of these boxes to put them in the Tripod)
- Chance of the turret jamming (the probability increases the more you shoot but decreases when it jams)
- The tripod breaks when the last bullet has been used
- When the gun has jammed, a player must punch the barrel 1-2 times to get it working again and lowers accumulated jamming chance by 15%
- "Sprinting" while using the turret will make the tripod turn at 2x speed while expending stamina when it's done. Shooting is also disabled when sprinting. (The player would "push" the turret instead of turning it)
Pros
- High ammo count
- High reserve ammo
- High DPS
Cons
- Frequent jamming
- Overheating
- Breaks when all of the ammo has been used
- Long reload time
EDITS:
- 1. Removed gun breaking chance after 80% ammo has been used and so on. Also added a faster swivel option by using stamina.
- 2. Increased ammo count from 300/2 to 400/2
- 3. Added a better description for jamming chance decrease
- 4. Further increased ammo count from 400/2 to 400/4
