Dual Primary Weapons

If you wish to read no further, you need only look at this:

I want that.

I propose that once a type of primary weapon has been used for 500+ finishing hits (shotgun, LMG, assault rifle, etc), a player gets the option of equipping a second weapon of the same type in the secondary slot, instead of a sidearm.

This ability can only be unlocked if the player has completed the relevant "Study of [weapon type]" education in the Combat Training course.

When a player first unlocks this ability, they are also given a new honour bar, "The Terminator".

The second weapon must be the same model, so two Jackhammers, or two SA-80s, or two M4A1s.

When in combat, these two equipped weapons would display as "Dual ___", with an increased ammo pool, and with a 50% accuracy reduction in exchange for a 50% damage increase.

 

May  the 80s action heroes and 90s FPSs be with you!

dual uzis( i gave some away at halloween)

bushmasters

p90s

they were auctioned off by ched to give rich players something to bid/compete for

i dont see him adding a "easy way to get dual primaries" and invalidate these expensive items

Well that's awkward. Maybe Ched will figure a way to cater for the clear demand for more Dual-wielding somehow, regardless of previous commitments.

Or most likely ignore this, along with almost all other suggestions.

Just one problem, what about already existing primary dual weapons, or dual secondary weapons.

Perhaps the ones already in Torn should be renamed to Custom rather than Dual.

I don't see any real reason to have it take up the secondary slot though given how dual weapons already work.

Had it take up a secondary slot because Dual Miniguns or Dual Bazookas starts getting silly. Good silly, but still silly.

I don't have any real answer to what to do with existing duals, though. If Ched and co pick up on this ima leave it to them to figure out which direction to take.
