Chain Weapons

(Edit. I just found the mod resources/tutorials thread on this site. Sooo....yeah I'll start looking into that. But if anyone wants to comment or offer thoughts/collaborate then by all means!)

 

Hey there. So I'd be willing to make this myself, but I have no experience modding. If someone were to point me in the right direction in regards to tutorials/materials ect, then I'd start working up to it for sure. There's just a lot of stuff out there, and I don't really know what to trust in regards to best methods and programs to use.

 

Anyways, just in case someone out there wants to take a look at this idea, here goes.

 

Chain Weapons.(And yes, definitely inspired by 40K. But there are so many awesome space marine power armor paints on Nexus that this should be a no brainer!)

 

The idea would be adding a series of chainsaw/esque themed melee weapons to the game, including a chain-bayonet! I thought a simple mod that extends the length of the RIpper to the length of a full sword, maybe three feet, would be a great place to start. Here are the weapons I had in mind....all would come with a basic bleed effect....because seriously...chainsaw...

 

Chainsaw: Average length, slow speed, extremely modifiable(The idea being as this is not a military weapon, there are more in circulation, homes, hardware stores, etc. And being a relatively simple machine, it is easy to modify if you have the basic knowledge. Modifications like double barred and triple barred would add lots of weight, but also magnify the damage heavily. Tuned up motor, electrified blade, extended blade, weighted blade, rusty blade(poison damage), and tungsten blade. This sort of weapon should show up a lot in the Enemy weapon list.)

 

Chainsword: Average length, speed, low penetration. (Basically just a long Ripper. Could just be a mod for the weapon that further extends the blade, maybe at a cost to speed and weight.)

 

Chainaxe: Shorter length, high speed, high penetration(Similar size and hitbox to the Tire Iron/axe mod. Similar size to the Ripper, but stronger and more difficult to make.

 

Chainpike: Highest reach, slowest speed, average penetration

 

Chainfist: Shortest length, average speed, EXTREME penetration(Was thinking this could be a mod for the Power Fist. Like add Ripper blades to the weapon.)

 

Chain Bayonet: Adds bleed damage to bash attacks.

 

I had some other ideas to turn this into an extensive overhaul that would change the way the current Ripper is modified, as well as adding in these alternative weapons with a similar system.

 

Anyways, thank for reading. I appreciate any thoughts. I'm really loving this game and its the first one that made me want to get into modding.
