Cryo Weapon for exo

Kuiki

How the title says, my idea for the exo is a cryo weapon to freeze enemy units. The weapon should be simular to the flamethrower, if an aliens stay longer in the freeze beam it gets slower and slower and get freezed. Frozen aliens can be "one-hitted" by exo melee attacks. Some my second point is the exo should have a melee attack. The dual minigun exo in the trailer also has melee ;-)

people already complained about the game having too many movement-limiting mechanics so i'm not sure if this is a good idea. i really like it in terms of atmosphere though.

The exo does have a mele attack. Also The dual Exo does NOT have a mele attack.

The dual Exo should have a melee attack. I mean come on, if you watch the Exo video it clearly shows him beating an Onos w/ his miniguns. Why can't we do this in the game? :P

Sure, just let me have a net gun I can fire from range out of the skulks mouth to immobilize marines?

Giving marines more and more powerful up close guns is dumb, they already have the shotgun (super effective), stun on the rifle, fist spam in exo (very effective) and can create easy range with a jetpack. Unless you want to give aliens more ranged options (a bad move in my view) then you need to not give marines any more close up options

Yeah I really like the idea from a marine perspective. From an alien perspective I imagine I would just rage though.

As much as a cryo gun sounds cool, these words have some deep wisdom.
