TFPs could add these into 7dtd right now and everything would be fine.
Claymore uses Steel Ball Bearings and C4. So not immediately available. Could have seperate C4 skill like crucible for steel. And it wasn't designed to be thrown like a grenade, so needs to be pre-placed like a land mine.
M2 uses .50 cal ammo. say 1 round needed 5 Cases, 15 Gun Powder and 6 Bullet Tips. You're not stocking up much of that until later on.
Minigun running 7.62, at -2,000 to 6,000- rounds per minute. Better get to mining bub.
Both the M2 & Minigun should be in mounts, but he77, lets pretend we can hip fire them, so peep-portable.
Other than the poor, "spare a dollar for a shrink?" full ocd min-maxers, which remember we said we weren't going to design to or for, who would be harmed by these being added?
These are near perfect magical "end game content" that _doesn't_ require any sillyness to keep them out our filthy hands until _only_ late game.
These things naturally gate themselves. Say you looted a Purple Minigun day 1. Along with 23 rounds of 7.62. Good luck with that.
Sure if you seriously grind for ammo you could have yourself a "mini mad minute" by earlyish-mid-game. So what? You blew through an entire horde nights ammo in one minute. :biggrin1: Yep, I'm sure you -did- have a stupid huge grin on your face when your first Demolisher showed up in just the right place and you clacked the Claymore at just the right moment and blew that Demo into modern art... or when you let all the zeds pile up and just let that Minigun eat!
Joking aside I've no idea if something like a minigun would be possible technically.
But I have been thinking about potential end-game things, and once it came to mind that a "Mad Minute" really could be a hell of a lot of fun, well...
Now if only that mysterious supply plane dropped a radio and turned out to actually be a Puff The Magic Dragon... :jaw:
