Ok I have a idea for weapons I know the community might bla bla bla bla on me probably but that's good because they only except the good ideas and the bad are gone. anyway what about a Blowgun? tell me what you think no this isn't COD. COD never had this so don't say "Don't want to copy COD" tell me why this is good or bad

Its kinda wierd idea i haventt seen it in any other game so :shrug:

Blowgun? Like with the darts and the poison? Any oddball weapon would be welcome for me.

Yeah I put it in because its new and brink is trying to be new plus I thought it would be cool

It wouldn't really have any purpose or use so... No. Could work for a stealth FPS.

Operative is stealth

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Too bad they can't do anything without being pulled out of their disguise, huh?

t could be used not stealthy Well what I picture the blow gun to be like (Since their are no one shot kills in brink) like the Lobster GL in brink

Not everyone hates the operative

I love the operative, it's the class I start every match as because I made it my default class.

But their disguise ability is worthless, and they cannot avoid being on radar. They aren't stealth, at all, they're at best Trick Recon who can dress up and hack stuff. A blowdart gun would be worthless to them in this game. Unless it was a one hit kill, but then that would be a bit silly.

In a full blown game based around stealth, kind of like Splinter Cell (Not so much the new one) It could work as a silent weapon to tranquilize/kill enemies. But not for this parkour/action shooter.

even it that is true I didn't picture the blow gun as a stealth weapon but i see how you could I thought of it as more like the Lobster GL in the game (Which is the NaD lancher). You hit them with it it nocks them of their feet their back up hit them agein and dead like that see my idea wasn't ment to be marked as stealth

How in the hell would a blowdart knock someone down unless it was shot at like, ridiculous speeds?

And why do that when you already have a grenade launcher? That does the same thing? It's useless.

A blowdart would only really make sense as a silent weapon.

You don't see the point I didn't mean a excect copy of the lobster GL and the knock down you got a point new idea: but it could stunn you for a sec

Maybe it could be a special for the operative to where you can use it while disguised and if you hit someone, it will poison them until a medic can get to them to cure them.

Sounds cool to me

Isn't that what the flashbang's are for?
And even then, why have something that stuns you when a point about this game is movement, and specifically limiting that?

There are better things that can be put into the game asides blowdarts.

Cakeorpies idea is good no other wepon can do that ecept their is going to have to be some ammo restriction maybe one every 5 seconds

A blowgun? That's different. The only reason I'd say no is because of range and power. Just don't think it is an effective weapon against firearms. Now if you modify this into some kind of high powered dart gun as someone else mentioned in another post, I could see that working. Such as a gun that shoots a syringe that can heal friendlies or harm enemies. Oh wait...COD has Ballistic knives...that's too similar to a dart gun...curse me, I'm trying to make Brink like COD.

Dart guns are actually amazingly accurate. The main issue here is that they have to be several yards long to be amazingly accurate.

Yea... you go ahead and use your namby pamby blowgun, I've got a 7.62x39mm round with your name on it.

I think he means like in "This game blows"...so..give us a "blowgun".

On a serious note. I would like to see class specific weapons, or well, they would probably be best in slot etc etc.
Currently we have body type weapons I guess its fine.

I would not mind seeing a flame thrower though, that would be cool:-)

Also, Light Bodies should be able to use the Shotgun.
