one thing I find interesting about deadlock's roster is that there aren't many characters that are execution-intensive, at best both holiday/celeste require proper knowledge of source engine airstrafing and shiv's altfire has some strange movement tech
I'm p sure the reasons why are because...

the Nunchasa definitely prefers grouping, but the payoff can be quite big, thanks to the insanity of Longbow Sharpshot
also, a new bow with a Nataruk-esque projectile is a good time to remind people that infinite body punchthrough =/= infinite punchthrough!!! (Primed) Shred > Vile Accel for altfire

now i want to mod into an existing grimdark postapoc extraction FPS an absurdly detailed system for simulating plant growth
fire to plant, altfire to scatter
the birds' and mice's hitboxes are accurate to model
good luck

Some are part of libraries I own, but I've also gone out and recorded some myself. For example, this level contains my fridge and my air conditioner!

Building the altfire shooting range instead of the interaction system is the right kind of distraction, a working scythe upgrade beats untested plumbing. Does scythe replace melee or sit alongside it?

Nope. You can use the altfire button for various functions but these operate within the regular realm of Hideous Destructor guns, like racking the auto shotgun or operating the rotor brake on the minigun (not pictured) Auto Shotgun can be fired in semi or full auto though

Trying to figure out a design for the Chimera.
I think this is a good direction, minus the chaingun mode's barrels. Since the gun's barrels split apart for the chaingun's altfire, I'm thinking I'm going to need to make a whole new chaingun sprite.

This is for that mod idea where all the weps have two modes. First mode can either fire a horizontal line of nails or rapidly fire nails. Second mode fires the line vertically for good single target damage and fires slower ricocheting nails with the altfire.

Heretic: The Shock Assault Faction. Fast, numerous, and their units can spam their abilities but have to rest to regain them. They pay for their Faction Abilities but, again, they can be spammed. Altfire to summon an entire group of units at once.🧵

A gravity well altfire on a grenade launcher is asking for chain reactions with any AOE follow-up. Does anything else in your kit combo off pulled clusters yet, or is that next?

With Altfire, Heretic can summon multiple units at once, for a cost equal to the number of units spawned. Gargoyles can be spawned in groups of 6 for example, and doing so costs 6 times the resources.🧵

Player class is in, Gargoyles are in. Heretic will have an Altfire that causes you to pay for multiple monsters at once and spray summon balls all together. Will make for fast army building if you’ve saved up resources.

ZDoom Wars 2 is going to involve more controls. Altfire is utilized by Heretic, then you need the inventory controls for Faction abilities, a Tech Menu bind, then Move Order, Defend Order, and Cancel Order binds. Honestly, could work pretty good on a controller.
