Just spit balling here, but my question is: will there be any sci-fi styled rounds for the conventional weapons in the game, or attachments that allow you to fire them?
Example: An electrical system attachment to allow you to fire negatively charged rounds. Would be useful against robots, but reduce the velocity of the round.
Example: Extremely abstract here, but high caliber hollow points filled with liquid nitrogen, that freeze the section of the enemy that they hit. Would require a cooling mechanism for the barrel to keep the heat of the bullet from turning the liquid nitrogen into nitrogen gas, and just causing an explosion.
Another idea would be to add non-lethal loads to different guns. Such as beanbag slugs, rocksalt filled shells (not necessarily lethal, but will make you cry), tranquilizer darts, rubber bullets, etc. I would never use any of them, but the option to use them would be ... neat.
More Brainstorming:
1. Usable mounted turrets.
2. Flame turrets (as seen on T.V., in "The Road Warrior")
3. Crossbows
4. Crossbow gloves
5. Bayonets, for when the enemy is literally right on you and ammo consumption would be frivolous .
6. Alternative grenades - a smoke grenade would be nice.
7. A gun that harnesses the sound that attracts sharks.
8. A gun that shoots smaller guns out of it - like the kukla's in Russia.
9. A weapon that, as opposed to the ARCHIMEDES, uses the power of the moon (which, in all truth, is just the back side of the sun (have you ever seen them together?)).
10. A harpoon gun.
11. Mum-Ra.
12. Using the syringe of a Med-X and the poison that is used on melee wepons, a silent killer that injects poison right into the blood stream, or into food, drinks, etc. of enemies.
13. A net canon.
14. A set of metal teeth, that, when placed in the mouth, can be used to bite chunks out of enemies. "Try to bite me, Vicious Dog? If that is your real name. Imma bite you back!"
15. Laser Glasses, because espionage was big in the future.
16. A derringer that can be snuck [sneaked?] into casinos.
17. A sniper oriented version of the laser rifle/plasma rifle.
18. Gloves that are coated in kerosene, and can be lit ablaze.
19. The best weapon of all: a short-wave radio that allows you to call in back-up at your own leisure.
Edit: Punctuation.
