It would be nice if besides guns and explosives etc. you had some kind of device that can regenerate your and your teammates' health and adrenalin. I always found it annoying that in UT you can heal nodes and vehicles, but not players. Doesn't really make sense imo. :S

Anyway, lots of options here... If it's a Terran device it could be something relatively simple like a syringe pistol. Prim fires a healing / adrenalin charge into your arm, and alt fires them into other players. Each shot contains a fixed amount of health and/or adrenalin, and starting ammo is limited to, say, 100 each (~25 per shot?).

There are no (ammo) pickups for this "gun", which is carried like a translocator and it doesn't take up a weapon slot, but you can recharge it with your own health and adrenalin! Select the weapon, press Special, and prim transfers health / adr. to the weapon (you stick it in your arm, maybe you actually see the blood flowing through some tubes etc.) This can of course best be done if your health is 100+, or if you're near health pickups. But as long as you have some health or adrenalin left, it will work... You can more or less sacrifice yourself for your teammates if you want to. :)

If the weapon is alien it can use healing link gun-like energy beams instead of darts and syringes. But, in keeping with the Skrith's savage nature, this device could also be regenerated with the health and adrenalin of enemies by hitting them with a short-range beam or maybe some kind of grapple / probe that shoots out and buries itself into the victim.

Something like that, anyway... ;)

That sounds nifty, and balanced too. I think it would be fun if you could suck health/adrenaline from the pickups to make things harder for the enemies.
:P

Sounds like the kind of thing a Cryon would make... A small alien creature-ish/cyborg thing(thats what anything cryon is) that lashes out with a long probe/sucker and sucks the life out of your enemies. It can then give it to you...
Maybe it can be dropped or thrown to 'gather' health, then be picked up later!

Or a Cryon weapon known as Singularity Generator. It compresses artificial mass to a singularity and when you shoot, the singularity will shortly break the forcefield ball around it and starts to suck the souls of enemies towards the singularity.

After few seconds, the singularity will die out and a health module can be picked up. Cryons have much more benefit from the pickups than other players.

That is a pretty deep idea.
