Class Definition: A Weapon Sudgestion Thread

[MasterNuke]

This post will be going down the list of Zone classes and sudgesting weapons for each one of them.

Defender - One who defends.
A thing I have noticed about defenders is that they are not any more defensively capable than the other classes.

kshield - Kinetic Neutralization Shield
This is not really a weapon, but a defensive measure. It puts up a energy shield in front of you that can cover you and two other people next to you.
O = Protected people
X = Not protected people
1 = You.
S = Shield

X X
OS
1S X

Every non-energy bullet that hits this shield will drain the energy of the shield user by 2/3 of the bullet's damage. It also stops rocket projectiles and grenades with 2 energy drain, but the explosion will hurt your health normally. Barrels drain 10 energy when impacting your shield.

eshield - Energy Deflection Shield
This shield works much like the kshield, but it deals with energy based projectiles. Every energy bullet that hits this shield will drain the energy of the shield user by 2/3 of the bullet's damage, and is deflected back at the enemy. This does not stop any non-energy projectiles.

Only enemy projectiles drain energy from your shield. You can use friendly eshields for projectile bouncing strategies.

KV12 - KV 12mm Light Defender Gun
With shields occupying one hand, the KV12 can be in your other, shooting with the other people behind your shield.

catapult - "Catapult" Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher
With the difficulty of getting grenades a long distance to the enemy, the Catapult was developed. It launches rocket propelled grenades to the enemy. The S fire sends a grenade into the air, striking the medium range. The D fire propells a grenade at a lower arc, but farther, nearly striking the mortar range.
