One of my idea would be weapon add-ons.one of the games i played from the same devs of RAGE(wolfenstein) was the great selection of weapon upgrades. i had lot of fun just looking for gold to buy a new upgrades for my MP-40.
For now about 6 weapons have been showed properly but inmagine each whit 6 add ons. such as less recoil,scopes, extended magazines, atached blades and silencers,but to make the game more interesting each add on has is pros and cons.let say we put a silencer on the settlers assault riffle yea it can now shoot silently but the con would be less damage. the add ons you buy can be stored at a local shop or a workbench.
Another thing about the add-ons is that they are not permanent you can take them off and on to best deal whit the mission you are gonna play. and each weapon can have 3 add-ons. the idea of this is that each add on will have it uses. and having a fully upgraded weapon would just make each replay more of the same beacuse one would just max out each weapon.


NEW WEAPONS IDEAS.

One thing i notice is that rage has almost no melee weapons.i think it would make the game more fun(whitout mimicking fallout weapons)whit a few unique melee weapons all i have seen for now is the fist of rage. one weapon i would love to have is that sweet curved sword that the ghost clans carry. i think it would be a good addition beacuse of the sucess of fallout games and borderland doesnt have them,it would make them stand out beacuse of the add-ons.
Now the melee weapons have permanent add ons each weapons would have and effect like the curved sword would help climb or get enemies closer,now a club would stun the target and if wearing armor would pierce it. special abilities would be unlocked by training or by using the weapon a lot.

More throwing weapons. is it me or i havent seen grenades? aniway and idea that would be sweet i think no other games has it would be exploding knifes the heroes carries 5 on a pouch straqed in his left shoulder and throws it whit the right hand.this could be and upgrade of the throwing knifes or to the wind stick.

P.S
I aplaud the RAGE team for a great job! i already pre-order the game and i NEVER preorder.i know you guys wont have time to add new content but maybe in a DLC or a GOTY edition consider some of my ideas. .

I WANT TO THANKS BETHESDA and ID GAMES since working on a corporation is sometimes a thankless task you guys prefert to make quality games and GOTY editions whit all the content on a DISC, than to ship a lame ass GOTY edition whit DLC codes on it ( RE5 and Borderlands to name a few.......) i had a freaking good time and worth every cent of it! when i bought FALLOUT 3 GOTY to date the best purchase of a game period. If FALLOUT NEW VEGAS GOTY comes ill preorder!!!!!!!! just waiting fo you guys. aniway sincerily thanks!

They do have grenades.

And what I would say about weapon add-ons, they should just add alot of ammo types, it would be cool if the you were limited to carrying 4 ammo types(Confirmed: you can only carry 4 ammo types per weapon, but there might be more ammo types I don't know) but if there were a bunch of ammo types.

And yes more throwing weapons
