So, I wrote this on the Discord. What do y'all think? I'm thinking of fleshing it out some more if people like the idea!
I'm happy to hear that we'll have a plasma launcher and assault rifle for the vertical slice, but eventually I'd really like to see chargeable heavy weapons like railguns or laser cannons. As I am planning on using a heavy suit myself, I would love to use slow-firing, high-damage weapons when my suit is designed to take a beating. Shoot, here's a thought: what about a shoulder-mounted ordnance launcher that takes a sec to reload but you have access to a variety of different "heavy grenades" that you can deploy. Like, there could be your typical frag or napalm grenades, but then you could have repair nanobot grenades that can mend your suit and others' suits in an area? What about a heavy tranq injector that would require some forethought but you could stick a kaiju with it and they start getting sluggish? Imagine that your suit has this massive bandolier with all these heavy grenades the size of your human torso. Imagine grinding for resources to make these massive heavy grenades for your suit then you have to manually load them onto your suit's bandolier and you can only use what you pack with you. To me that would be one of the coolest achievements ever.
