Exosuits should have flamethrowers

<div class="IPBDescription">That's the idea.</div>Yeah that's pretty much it. If they're going to get miniguns, dual miniguns, railguns (maybe dual railguns) and presumably some kind of melee claw?... maybe not the claw but either way, one or both of the arm options should allow for flamethrowers.

It would be amazing.

(I tried searching for this idea but forum search feature is pants, so if it's been suggested before just let this thread die)

    For exo flamethrower to be usefull it would need atleast 1.5x range boost and 3x damage boost with possible removal of alien energy regen lock. Think of it as a built in suit system that allowes high pressure\high capacity valve\pump combo.

    They could duel wield flamethrowers instead of having a more powerful single flamethrower

    And it will have a toggle to blare rock music in an area around the Exo. Er... should. Should have one. Because it doesn't. Uh, as far as I've heard.

    The US army uses music in battle and for torture/interrogation purposes. So it's not far-fetched at all!

    The army uses music for hostage situation to make the people go crazy, they use metalica haha, they are called psy ops, not sure about the spelling. and off topic about grenade launchers they really shouldnt slide like they do, they should blow up or not like real ones. once they reach a certain distance they cant blow up when they impact, when i was in boot i got to shoot 2 of those things and it was amazing


    edit, but rock music playing outa the exo would be the greatest thing ever, even if it was just a joke for one build i would love this game so much more!

    Sadly, I just found out how much it would cost to license even just Thunderstruck, Back in Black, and Highway to Hell. Much less anything by ZZ Top.

    So that's right out... we really don't want people using their own music, or we'd end up with some tasteless knob blaring Skrillex or Justin Bieber while stomping around in a giant metal suit. And nobody wants the awesome moment ruined like that. Though we might still get a cover done of 'Rock You Like A Hurricane' by the Scorpians (that hovar).

    Still in talks to license the 'Oh Yeah!' from Kool-Aid for when the Onos breaks down a door though. Er.. I've heard. Things... about them being in talks..



    ...oh look, coffee that I should be drinking!

    Music being played client to server would be terrible anyways; it could easily just be something the team made/makes.
    I would love the Exo-suit to have the benefit of primary/alt click (primary/Left-click fires left-weapon, alt/Right-click fires right-weapon.) Can't see what the alt would normally be anyway... besides a stomp that stun-locks alien stuff :<

    Hmm. Need to figure out what happened to FFT Fangs, Moogle and the rest, get them back together and making music for the new release.

    If I had a million res nodes...
