"Wait," you might be thinking, "won't this ruin the balance of the game with tons of overpowered weapon designs?" Nope. The contribute feature is exclusively for model design.

Go check it yourself.

And you do understand that Valve has hosted threads like this for 3 of the patches and actually used fine tuned versions of fan ideas. Sandvich, Jarate, and Cloak and Dagger were all fan contributed, and near identical to how they were pitched. (Granted that Jarate was inspired by the Meet the Sniper vid)

I salute you. Also any idea created by a forum community will be shit. I think that is Newton's Seventh law of Internet bullshittery.

Fire Resistant Suit
Class:Spy
Advantagesrevents those pesky pyro spy checkers
Disadvanges: -20 health

Overpowered yes but as a spy it would be nice

Advantagesrevents those pesky pyro spy checkers
Disadvanges: -20 health

Supposedly, the Fireproof suit was supposed to remove the Spy's revolver, Which seems somewhat fair, when you think about it.

Triple Shot

Eletro-net?

Disadvantages: The victim will be immune to nets until their death. Damage taken while in the net will be reduced by %75. Only one per load.

It sucks I know.

 

[Hiphophippo]

I don't think it's too much to ask for my engineer to get a loadout that gives him a full walking mecha suit, complete with shoulder missile cannons.

Seems balanced.

 

[Beastialman]

That last one might seem a bit overpowered to you, but imagine if you mess up horribly on your placement (using your dispenser as a roadblock for cloaked spies or scouts).

 

[Beastialman]

Why not have it replace the sapper?

 

[Dr. wonderful]

A sandvich that make you firepoof.

A cola that increase your hitting power.

To use your Uber charge to BRING BACK THE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAD.

 

[Tattaglia]

Alright, I thought up a weapon available to all classes once you fit the certain criteria. I know, kinda different, but I thought as long as it was well-balanced it should be fine.

Weapon: Nactical Tuke
Class: All
Criteria: 25 Kill Streak
Advantages: Kills everyone on the map
Disadvantages: ???
Killingness: Maximum
Pointlessness: Maximum

"Hey man, you know what would be really cool?"
"I don't know, I was thinking maybe we add a bit of backstory into some of the characters, y'know, really make the player feel for th-"
"YEAH WELL FUCK THAT. NUKES, BITCHES. NUKES ALL UP IN HERE."

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Weapon: Übermensch
Class: Medic
Slot: Primary

Advantages: +2% Übercharge on hit
+1 Extra Healing

Disadvantages: -25 Health
-25% Clip Size

[hr]

Weapon: Cracker Launcher
Class: Pyro
Slot: Secondary

Advantages: Splash Damage
Sets Enemies on fire (even when hit in the splash zone)

Disadvantages: Does not randomly crit
-25% Fire Rate than the Flare Gun

 

[Mister Awesome]

Weapon: Patrischia
Class: Heavy
Abilities: Replaces the Minigun.
+25% Minigun firing cone thingy, for a tighter spread.
-15% Firing speed.
When firing crit bullets, distance becomes a factor. The farther the bullet travels, the more damage it does. So if it's point blank, it'd basically be normal bullets.

Maybe that'll make Snipers and enemies from afar a bit more reluctant to try and pick 'em off while Heavies rain chaos upon them >

probably the best idea for a weapon i've heard on this forum

 

[zalnar]

Ludmila

Sonya

Fire Extinguisher
Class:demoman

Why would the Demoman need this? The Pyro can already do this with their primary weapon...

Forgive us for brainstorming possible weapon ideas anyway. God forbid we have fun on a forum.
