More Staff weapons!
I'd love to see a staves that do direct damage instead of being more niche gimmick uses. And maybe add more fun ones too to mix things up.
Clown Laser Staff:
Staff that shoots a beam similar to the clown laser. Yes there is one technically that only spawns in the Academy as a valuable but its not available as a shop weapon.
Poly-Morph Staff:
You could also have a poly-morph staff that turns enemies into bunnies or ducks for a short period of time, acting more like a tranq gun. This could also have more a chaotic element too maybe there is a 40% chance of turning enemies into a different enemy type.
Bolt Staff:
Staff that shoots basic energy bolts that acts similar to guns. Acts as alternative to guns.
Summon staff:
A staff that summons friendly ticks to swarm the enemies and drain health and on their death they drop health packs based on roughly the health they absorbed from mobs. Or summon a temporary heart hugger to deal damage.
Levitation Staff:
A staff that shoots a beam that can levitate any objects. Acts similar to zero grav drone so long as the player keeps it pointed at an object and can work from a long range helps move objects.
Toxic Sludge Orb Staff:
Hurls a radio active projectile that explodes dealing AOE damage if it hits something or times out (similar to grenades). This could leave a radiation after effect when it explodes.
Pets: I'd love to able to buy some kind of robot pet that follows you around and each pet does something unique like create distractions or helps lift things up or attacks enemies or absorbs your damage taken and even one that helps find items.
A good down side to pets could be that they require either energy crystals or they could be like wind-up toy that requires the players to wind them up as they have limited amount of energy.
EDIT: I'm asking for more shop items that we can purchase that act more as alternatives weapon choices.
