Idea to make the beemer useful...

Why don't they make it so that the longer you hold down the fire, the more energy it charges.

Firing normally would eat ammo by 1. Firing AP would eat ammo by 2 like it is now.

Make it so that you can use both modes but the longer you hold down the trigger and release, the more damage it does?

The longer you hold it down and fire, the more ammo it consumes.

Cool, so if I hold it down for three hours I could take out an AMS?

[MilitantB0B]

So if you held it down for like a minute and a half it would expend a whole clip at once? Jeez, thats a little much. I agree it needs something, but that isn't it. The only people who use pistols are infiltrators and they aren't going to sit there with there trigger button held and their semi-invisible face hanging out. Maybe a plasma like afterburn feture or something.

Of course there should be limits.

The longest you can hold it down should be for like 15 seconds and it should only hit for about 50-60 HPs.

Dunno. Just tossing around some iteas.

Or you could leave it as is but make it so that it bypasses armor completely.

So you could die with 150 armor left if you got killed by a beemer.

The beamer already is the most powerful weapon in the game, why power it up? The only laser pointer in all planetside capable of irritating your retinas.

[MJBuddy]

well, it already somewhat resembles the covenant plasma pistol from Halo, so why dont we add that ability and call it the "Halo plasma pistol" so we can feel the nostalgia

[MilitantB0B]

How about you give it a taser like affect. You hit somebody with it and they temporarily move slower or something. May not be much, but it might be enough of a help to circle strafe people whilst you whiddle them down with your flashlight.

AHHHH THE UV RAYS!!!

Make the Beamer also hand out cancer.

[Hamma]

Sounds exactly like Halo's plasma pistol o.O

EDIT: Sorry MJ, i didnt read your post

[12tontuna]

Come to think of it, going Akimbo with any pistol would flat out be all cool.

Dual Repeaters...mmmm. It'd be all Jet Li and shit.

Yeah, double AMPs would be awesome. Imagine an infil sneaks up to you silently... BAMBAM, BAMBAM, BAMBAM! 6 Mag shots, you're dead, pal!
