    If a weapon doesn't benefit from the use of ADS, replace it with an Alternate Fire

    Some weapons don't need the use of ADS, weapons like the rocket and grenade launchers specifically. Instead of having those guns zoom-in when you right click, you should add an alternate fire to it instead, similar to the weapons from the unreal tournament series. Why not? Hyper Scape is an arena shooter at it's core and Unreal Tournament did it the best within the arena shooter space.

    What kind of alternate fire options would you want to see for the launchers?

    Hey, thanks for replying. The most traditional alternative fire for launchers will be making the projectile explode when the alternate fire button is triggered. You first shoot the rocket, missile or the grenade with the primary fire. Once the projectile leaves the gun, you press the alternate fire to make it explode immediately, regardless of the distance it is away from you. It’s recommended the player takes self-inflicting damage if the players trigger the explosion too close or else the player will be able to cheese with some kamikaze tactics and not take damage for it.

    But that isn’t all. The developers can really be creative and have two guns in one, having one gun have two different purposes. For example, the flank cannon from Unreal. The primary fire is a projectile shotgun with bullets that bounces off walls and the alternate fire is a grenade launcher with AOE damage.

    Or the developers can get really creative and make both the alternate and the primary fires do a combo with eachother. Best example is the shock rifle. You first shoot a slow moving projectile that travels in a straight line and then you shoot that same moving projectile with the primary fire(which is a single hitscan shot similar to a pistol) to cause a huge aoe explosion.

    The sky is the limit with arena shooter guns. I’m pretty sure the developers can come up with something amazing, creative, and highly rewarding to those with skill.
