(WARNING TERRIBLE FUCKING IDEA) CYBERNETIC COMBAT STYLE

[Super Aggro Crag]

people are talking about "krav maga" implants and stuff and it got me thinking about RnD researching biology and combat and engineering enough for them to build a cybernetic brain implant that gives you a special combat style....but it's only usable if you have an augmented limb.

it would be called PANZERFAUST, and one of the abilities would DEFINITELY be to fire your own hand at a guy, depriving you of the use of your hand but, cmon, rokketto paunch

this idea is fucking stupid as shit and shouldn't be coded.

[Zilenan91]

This sounds awesome but it would be very hard to implement without dismemberment

[DemonFiren]

Add a mecha combat style, too, to be obtained by attaching a Kinetic Strike Module to your exosuit.

[Topham]

quick crag's drunk shitposting again someone code his ideas

[ThanatosRa]

YES.
I HAVE NEVER AGREED WITH CRAG MORE.


The problem is, SHOULD Robotics be allowed such terrible and powerful deep magic?

[Topham]

just add drill augmentations and some actually easy way to get the standard gar glasses (because iirc you need thermals to get normal gars) my weaboo life will be complete

GIGAAAAAAA
DRIIIIIILLL
BREAK

The rocket punch is something that needs to happen in some form or another though.

Rocket arm augment, only made by exosuit fab. When augmented arm functions as normal hand until activated, becomes item you can fire for moderate brute and stun to target. Unable to use hand (leaves a detached arm item you can't use maybe) until you pick your arm back up and re-attach it.

Spoiler:

Terrible idea: be able to put C4 or a TTV in arm for explosive rocket arm but you lose the arm because it explodes.

Bonus terrible idea: extra arms can be made but are really expensive.

Augment and fire both your arms then be fucking useless because you have no hands!

the only way i can think of doing this without dismemberment is kind of hacky, the game would put an invisible abstract object in your hand that when you attack stuff with it tells you "You can't use this hand, you fired it off!" or something

if it was less hacky i'd probably do this

[Drynwyn]

Or just a perfectly-visible "Rocket Hand Stump" item. If anyone asks why they can't drop their rocket hand stump or pick things up with that hand, slap them until they grow a brain.

Yea that's how I was thinking it could be done.

tfw kinda want to learn to code and would do this but either lazy or no time, more the latter right now.

[PKPenguin321]

i will look into this but no promises

[Zilenan91]

Yeah you could do it like chainsaws and make the actual thing an item in your hand that you can fire like a gun. I assume it'd come back to you after you fire it right or would you have to pick it up? Picking it up could be problematic if it goes into space since you'll have to be able to create more hands for this.

[Super Aggro Crag]

have it on a tether and you have to stand still and manually reel it in, if you try to walk while reeling it snaps back and punches your entire face off

[PKPenguin321]

okay so i've written some basic code, what i did was move it to an implant instead of a fighting style. you click the action button and your hand shoots off like a gun, and does 40 damage and a Weaken3 stun. the code is still super early and really shit but i can confirm that this can be done to some extent at least.
PR maybe if i get around to finishing it up tomorrow.

PS send sprites i need a robot fist

edit: i lied check out the PR here (it's really WIP)

sprites PLS

Add some cyberpunk wired reflexes that give you a chance to dodge incoming attacks/projectiles for true street samurai style.
