new weapon ideas

[Jet]

what are some ideas for new weapons main,sub and special. i had an idea for a special weapon when activated you would be in a UFO at the same place as you were standing but high above the map and you would have a down facing turret like in hero mode but with an aiming laser so enemies have a chance to doge when your special runs out you squid jump back to where you activated your special it is heavily octarian inspired.

What about a paint/Ink bucket?? Works kind of like the brushes/Rollers you are pouring it just in front of you as you walk (like the roller kinda) but here is the catch, the fuller your tank (bucket) the slower you go so as you empty the tank (bucket) you start to pour faster!! also instead of having a "flick" attack you throw everything your bucket contains in one go, so the more paint you have left the bigger an more powerful the shot would be, So you could be painting see an enemy and then throw the rest to cover ground or get a kill then swim off :)

That's some unique mechanics cool

How about a Carbon Dynamo Roller or a Spinning Splattershot?

A sub weapon that puts down a small tower that can be shot down by opponents, similar to the Squid Beakon. When you or a teammate is near the tower, they receive various buffs such as greater run speed, greater swim speed, faster health recovery, and faster ink recovery.

A special like a giant Sprinkler, having four different nozzles shooting ink in a large circle (Slightly bigger than a Inkstrike) It can be broken by the other team through enough shots (has the health of one of the big balloons at the training area) but will normally stay there until destroyed.

A Squee-G like sub weapon that wanders randomly but quickly when placed, removing any opponent ink it passes over. It can be shot at to be destroyed or will go away over time.

A sub weapon that throws a siphon. If it hits an opponent, it stops their ink recovery, while slowly giving remaining ink to you. The effect ends either when you die, or a few seconds after the opponent runs out of ink.

A special weapon that gives you a limited time with a vacuum to absorb as much enemy ink as possible, removing it. Then, it reverses, giving you a powerful shooter (Accuracy and fire rate of Splash-O-Matic, range of Jet Squelcher) that can shoot as much ink as you sucked up before reverting to your old weapon.

I like these ideas, i feel like we need some new sub-weapons along with the new weapons we are getting, The Squee-G one would be interesting it would be nice if you could let it loose an then if u snipe it with your shot or a team mate shot it will explode, the more it has sucked up the large the explosion in your ink of course!

Also a flash/smoke grenade would be useful, doesn't spread ink or do any damaged but could be useful to use as cover for an ambush, heck i know we have grenades but why not an actually grenade launcher and the flash/smoke could just be the sub weapon using the same gun, be useful as a support weapon an to flush out snipers etc.
