View Full Version : IDEA Lancer Idea (RELATED TO SCOUT)

Well, I have had this thought for a rather long time, so yeah...

Well, we all know that the Lancer is built to be a Anti-Heavy class, right? However, when you have only around 10% health left and the opposing Heavy has around 80% health left, it lacks the killing ability of the Scout as it would take 2 kills to finish the Heavy off, and by then the Heavy would have finished you off, so here's the deal.

I am proposing the main weapon of the Lancer, the Gauss Rifle, have a F key, and this F key would trigger a gauss bullet which has the same power as the Scout's rifle. Basically, it would be like the Specialist. When you press the F key, it would temporarily change bullet types. In this case, the power of the bullet will be changed from 60% to 80%. The catch is, when you activate this, after shooting off a bullet using the F key, the cool down would be 1200ms. In other words, you would have to wait 1.2 seconds before you can shoot any type of ammo again.

Through this, Lancers will be able to take down enemies with a considerable amount of health in just 1 bullet.


Thoughts? Discuss.

...Disagree...

It's still easy to kill hevs, even with 10% left...most of them can't aim for crap...

Well, in that case, you can just hand the Lancer the Support pistol when he has 1 HP and then he can take down a full life Heavy...


True, many people in this game cannot aim now, but they SHOULD be able to get 1 vulcan shot on you before you can get 2 Lancer Gauss Rifle bullets on him.

i agree because you get heavys like me when i do and muggy and pmr that can aim and that will own you when your lancer.
but if you do this maybe make its armour light instead of medium

It is a advanced idea. I would make the cool down longer maybe 2 seconds.
BTW. If you want this to be considered you need a poll.

Yes but the Admins will be less likely look at these suggestions if there is not a poll symbol by it, as it says here >>>http://www.pawngame.com/forum/showthread.php?t=110510

The lancer is powerful enough, they don't really need this new adjustment...

...If they had it, even with a long cool down, they'd be overpowered. If they scored a critical, most likely it'd be a 1-hit KO...

...As for your smart remark with the pistol, I've done it before...3 times, once using a grenade...the rest, pure prediction of movement...

I don't see why the Pawn Staff can't just tweak with the Scout class a bit so they can bring it back. And no, not with some crappy new thing, the SAME Scout as before. Then PT will return to it's former glory.

Ummm, ReconReaper, the Scout has not been back for 5 updates already. I think it is quite clear that it is not coming back anytime in the future. Therefore, this idea will maintain the true power and identity of the Scout, the 80% shot.
