Weapon & Armor bonuses

Special weapons & armour among three classes (Superior, Epic, Legendary) will have a chance of spawning inside rare caches. These caches will sometimes be credited to factions for winning competitive wars, but may also be available to buy abroad in the future.

Caches will include most of the basic weapons already in Torn today, with a few new ones thrown in. There is a chance that one of the weapons in the cache will become a Superior, Epic or Legendary class weapon. They will receive a damage and accuracy buff by default (to make them competitive with other basic weapons if it's for example a Glock 18) and be assigned one or two bonuses. These special items will be very rare, the rarity of which also dramatically increases with scale: the Epic (Orange) ones will be 25x rarer than Superior (Yellow) and Legendary (Red) will be 25x rarer than Epic (Orange).

The bonuses that appear all have rates generated along with them. For example, a Superior (Yellow) weapon might have a 12% chance to 'Stun', but a Legendary (Red) weapon might have 25% chance. Every bonus has a rate that can be varied. Also, all bonuses can only spawn on a select few types of weapons, for example Stun is only available on Heavy Artillery, Shotguns, Clubbed and Mechanical.

We've been working on a list of bonuses which can be randomly generated on to these special weapons and armour. I am making this post to see if anyone in the community has any further ideas to add to our list. Some ideas are obvious, but impractical due to gameplay balance or technical limitations - but any ideas are welcome and could help to ensure we have a totally full list of potential bonuses.

We don't need to worry about their rates or weapon types here. Just basic / general ideas for new and interesting ideas for weapon & armor bonuses.

Here's the current list of weapon bonuses we have. Some may sound under-powered or over-powered, remember that each one has an assigned rate window in order for us to control how powerful they are. Some bonuses may sound completely useless to you, but may serve a purpose to some people in specific situations.
