What kind of weapons haven't see seen in overwatch yet?

General Discussion

  • Damage-over-time could be interesting
  • Lingering fields, of either damage, friendly buff, or enemy debuff
  • long range artillery style weapon. Something less spammy than Junkrat’s launcher at least
  • AI helper(s) of some kind. A “pet class” (I’d keep this as simple as possible, if it was me)

Definitely a flamethrower.

Would love a boomerang or something similar in functionality, maybe three of them for you to manage. Allowing you to decide to unleash all of them at once or conserve them.
I think it would be a fun mechanic to throw them out and have them return at different angles. Would be a fun way to hit pharah and pick up multiple kills (one on the way to target and one on the way back to you).

  1. A weapon that gets thrown but either needs to be retrieved or comes back to you. Spear, Chakram or boomerang
  2. Drones/minions that attack opponents
  3. Sticky bombs. I can imagine Tracers pulse bomb mixed with Junkrat’s mines. So a mine can stick on an opponent and can be detonated at the right time unless destroyed first.
  4. Blinding weapon. Flash bang or ink on the screen/visual area.

Chakrams, I’ve loved that weapon since Xena:Warrior Princess and think the game needs more creative projectile weapons with environmental interactions rather rather than repetitive hit scan weapons.

Ok Molotov cocktail I really like as long as the flames linger for around 6 seconds. I like the idea of shutting down a corrider with a Molotov.
Chainsaws I do not like because of the annoying chainsaw sound and everyone would pretty much be over it in about a day.
Nunchucks would be hilarious or a Bo staff because whoever gets it as a weapon automatically gets Napoleon Dynamites voice line “women like a man who has skills”
Laser gun but God please not another sniper

Ammo that ricochets like rubber bullets or something so you could do fun environmental plays in corridors etc…but with no headshots…although this would probably be scatterarrow hated!

45

well if it’s a single shot and ricochets only once i think that would be really dope.

could even add headshots that way without being OP.

skatter was insta kill. that was why it was broken.

A godd*mn flamethrower.

Otherwise… Crossbow,
pump-shell reloading shotgun,
a paintgun a la Splatoon (that leaves liquid effects on surfaces AND enemies the liquid lands on),

Another couple of personal guns I’d like to see is a guided missile launcher like the one in Half Life.

  • Single fire reloaded weapon, powerful for such a low clip of 1.
  • after firing, it will attempt to hit what you look at; your aim itself guides the missile.
  • obviously may be difficult to balance as a weapon, so probably won’t make it as a primary.

Also want to see a patterned cannon, that fires 3 shots: basically the Eradicator’s cannon (Eradicator for new Tank plz Blizzard.)

But now, I want a Flamethrower as top pick.

I Present To You Dear Reader. The Nova.

This Long, Straight, Hard Beauty can kill people from Window to Mid on Mirage.

Aka, a long range pellet spread sniper rifle. Sucks close range though. So prepare yourselves for them sweet 99 in 4 hits.

Also, I’m on the wrong game. Csgo has nothing to do with Overwatch haha

Yeah but she kinda just sucks and shoots out juice. Not really something like

FIREBALL.
