So you all liked my heavy weapons post. Here is a continue to the “high risk high reward” weapons and hero idea.

So yeah people liked the idea days ago here. Now, I am going to add more weapons AND the heroes with the team perk.

Effort taken: 2 hours and 23 minutes


More weapons (ranged)

Eradicator (Flamethrower). Couldn't come up with a better name.

  • Exotic rarity. I always wanted a flamethrower in STW.

  • Uses energy cells. But when you fire it uses 1 cell every 1.2 sec to prevent ammo issues OR uses a new "flame tanks" ammo type. Can be made energy because…it's an exotic after all. It can hit multiple targets.

  • 6th perks: Eliminating 5 enemies leaves a fire pool, can only happen every 3 seconds / Standing Still for 2 seconds increases damage by 11%, stacks up to 5 times / Standing still for 2 seconds increases the damage vs mist monsters by 17%, stacks up to 5 times / Eliminations with this weapon causes an explosion in a 0.75 tile radius, can only happen every 5 seconds

The Civil Mate (World War Era Gatling gun on wheels)

  • Exotic rarity. The original idea was holding the gun itself without the wheels. But I added the wheels for extra cool lol.

  • Uses heavy ammo for balancing reasons. Fires 3 shots per sec. One mag has 100 ammo.

  • 6th perks: 25% chance to not use ammo, Increases up to 75% if the same target is continuously hit / Standing Still for 2 seconds increases damage by 11%, stacks up to 5 times / Standing still increases the damage to mist monsters / Eliminations with this weapon increases fire rate by 1.3%.


What are the limitations of heavy weapons?

  • You cannot make it crit based

  • They reduce your speed by half when equipped

  • Only the Task Force heroes can increase their efficiency. (explained later in this post)

  • The Task Force heroes will only benefit from one team perk made for them (explained later in this post)

  • These exotic weapons cannot be dropped. And require a specific Power Level on each evolution while they require reaching PL 130 to supercharge them. The storm shield defense requirements still stands.

  • While they deal higher than usual base damage. They consume more ammo than usual.

  • Task Force heroes are made of Constructors and Soldiers only!

  • You can only equip heavy weapons with the Task Force heroes only. That means no other ranged or melee weapon will be in the slots.

  • A Task Force hero is needed on command to activate the team perk.
