Here is the list of powerups that will ultimately be worked into and involved in LaserTag.
List of announced/possible powerups for LaserTag.
-- Primary
- x Accuracy - primary, makes the gun more accurate. Icon is a cross (weaponsight) with two arrows.
- x Rapid Fire - primary, makes gun shoot way faster. Increase spread, lower kick, lower damage, automatic fire. Icon: Lots of bullets, three row repeated to make 9 bullets.
-- Balance adjustments needed to make sure it's as good as the basic level weapon while providing a decent improvement over it. - x Vampire - steal 50% of the shield you damage with primary fire. On target death, 10% chance of stealing a powerup in a slot that isn't filled.
TODO: steal powerups.
