OK, I've played BW offline for a while, and I've come up with a few ideas for weapons, some more feasable than others.
I've narrowed my ideas down to the best two: the MPAR-90 and TEC-10.
The MPAR-90 (The Multi-Purpose Assault Rifle) is an assault rifle based aesthetically on the SIG SG 552
It would have stats similar to the M50, but does more damage, and has a smaller clip (25 rounds).
For a secondary function, the MPAR-90 is outfitted with a handheld short-range mining laser. Primary fire is bullets, secondary is laser.
Weapon special adjusts the iris on the laser. A 'Wide iris' makes the beam really large, but drains the battery really fast (Think the Venom's laser) A 'Thin iris' makes the beam last for longer, but deal less damage (Think the Glock's alt-fire) Firing Wide would last for a second, firing Thin would last for 5. After which, the battery is drained and takes 12 seconds to fully recharge.
The TEC-10 demolition pack, otherwise known as the Tactical Explosive Charge, is a timed explosive device. Planted in the same way as the FP9A5, the TEC is perfect for precise and well-timed attacks on enemy forces.
All forces are issued with 3 packs to start with, can carry up to 8 at a time. They are also issued with a Charge Proximity Signal Transmitter, or CPST, which is used in conjunction with the pack, much how the trigger works with the FP9A5.
Using the Adjust Fire mode and Weapon Special buttons, the timer on a pack can be set for anywhere between 1 and 10 seconds. However, the timer does not initiate immediately after planting. Instead, the pack will wait until it no longer detects a CPST unit within the blast radius. Additionally, the pack can be set to pause the timer when it picks up a CPST with the Reload key either prior to planting or whilst the pack is ready (ie, not counting down).
When the timer is active, the pack has a distinct flashing light.
Primary fire places a charge, secondary fire toggles the CPST on/off.
