Back to the topic of this thread. This is a flamethrower concept I'm personally really proud of and would like to share here.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=140234409

(+) Extinguishing teammates heals both you and the teammate with +20 health
(+) Players ignited by this weapon will reward the killer with +20 health on kill
(+) Dealing damage builds up a Cozy meter, charges at 300 damage. Once charged, press your Special Attack key to activate, creating an amputator-like effect for 5s.
(-) 25% damage penalty
(-) 50% afterburn damage penalty
(-) While Cozy meter is active: 50% increased ammo consumption for the duration, 15% slower movement speed.

Critique would be greatly appreciated.

(+) Heat increases firing speed and weapon swap speed up to 50%, but increases pellet spread up to 100%.
(+) On kill: Max ammo is increased by 100% for 15s. Continued kills will refresh the duration, and this effect can stack.
(+) Alt-fire attracts nearby ammo packs. This effect only works while not firing, and only works on fallen ammo packs (the ones dropped by enemies).
(-) 15% damage penalty
(-) 50% less max ammo
Dealing damage builds up 'Heat', caps at 1000 damage dealt. This drains at 10% per second after not dealing damage for 3s.

Critique would be greatly appreciated

Here's a little medigun I came up with:

http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=164661788

(+) Collecting medkits will charge an additional 'Charged Health' meter (does not charge from sandviches)
(+) Press 'Reload' while healing a patient to instantly deposit your 'Charged Health' meter into their health pool. This effect will not overheal, and it will not use more charge than needed to restore them to full health.
(+) You can see nearby medkits through walls while this weapon is active.
(-) 50% less health from medkits (does not include sandviches)
(-) 25% slower heal rate
Ubercharge is split into 3 bars.
Each bar grants the patient a shield that lasts for 3s. Shield converts all damage they take into health instead. This effect can overheal the patient up to 150% health.

Repost from the discord:

Excuse any glaring issues in balance, I've looked over this very little

The Napalm Pump
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1192508581
Ironic weapon model for the name, I know.

(+) 25% faster ubercharge build rate
(+) You and your patient take 35% less damage while on fire
(+/-) Ubercharge can be overcharged up to 150%, but causes self-heal and medigun heal rates to drop. Overcharge also causes ubercharge effects to strengthen. Ubercharge automatically activates at 150%.
(-) Ubercharge ignites both you and your patient until the end of the time.
(-) 25% slower heal rate

Ubercharge inflicts you and your patient with Uberfire, which causes all attacks thrown during the duration to ignite victims based on damage dealt.
Taking damage while inflicted with Uberfire will cause a fireball to seek out the attacker, dealing 50 damage on impact and igniting the target. This can happen only once per second.

NOTES:
-While overcharging, ubercharge is built at half rate.
-Overcharge causes Ubercharge effects to increase in strength by up to 50%.
-While overcharging, self-heal and medigun heal rates drop by up to 50%.

Critique would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a good weapon set I'd like to throw on here:

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=945177558

(+) 35% faster movement speed while scoped
(+) 15% damage resistance while scoped
(+) Damage dealt charges a 'Death Wave' meter, takes 500 damage to charge.
When fully charged, press R to make your next shot mark your victim and everyone around them for death.
(-) Headshots only deal minicrit damage (but mark victims for death)
(-) 10% damage penalty vs non-marked players



https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=945176787

(+) 25% larger clip
(+) Reloading after emptying your clip will boost you and nearby teammates with a 25% fire rate and reload rate bonus
(+) Boosting teammates will provide you with a temporary speed boost
(-) Kills will empty this weapon's clip
(-) 20% slower reload



Two weapons designed to work together with one common goal: to allow the Sniper to work at the front with his team. He sacrifices overall damage output, but compensates for that by providing near constant team support.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=229448466

(+) Deals bonus damage while shield is recharging (20%)
(+) Deals bonus damage after getting a kill with your melee (20%)
(+) This weapons deploys/holsters faster when your shield is charged
(+) Kills made with other weapons reload one grenade into this weapon
(-) 20% damage penalty
(-) 25% slower reload

-The maximum amount of damage this weapon can deal is 112 in one shot
-The switch speed bonus provided at full charge allows you to switch to swords at normal speed

A Demoman grenade launcher designed around Hybrid Knighting, and with a sexy model as well.


Might be a repost on this thread. Definitely a repost from the Discord:

(+) Players ignited by this weapon will reward the killer with +20 health on kill
(+) Dealing damage builds up a Cozy meter, takes 300 damage to charge:

(-) 25% damage penalty
(-) 50% afterburn damage penalty
(-) While Cozy meter is active: 50% increased ammo consumption for the duration, 15% slower movement speed.

A Flamethrower designed around support, one of Pyro's strengths. The model might be in use though...


Critique would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a list of weapon ideas I've had over a long time. You may spot some weapons I've posted before in there. It's a giant list of about 30-40 weapons, and it updates everytime I add to it.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NLJe3NRXpJ3Whg6fJJPNTxOCi3h0769I/view?usp=sharing

"Have fun"

So, this will contain a repost of a weapon I've rebalanced, and some new weapons. Suggestions for balance are welcome, as these may be a bit extreme.



http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=945177558

(+) While charging press R to store charge, but empty your charge meter.
When your next shot is fired your stored charge will apply its multiplier onto damage dealt.
Storing charge removes your charge rate bonus based on how much charge is stored.
Pressing R with empty space in your reserved charge meter will add your current charge to reserves.
(+) 60% Faster charge rate

(-) On miss: Your reserve charge meter is emptied
(-) 20% Damage penalty

NOTES:
-If you have 100% charge stored and 100% charge in your charge meter, the damage you deal will be multiplied by 6 instead of 3 like the stock sniper.
-The maximum damage this weapon can deal is 1,080 damage with a fully charged headshot and full reserved charge.
-Maximum damage this weapon can deal with a fully charged body shot and full reserve meter, or with a fully charged headshot, is 360 damage.
-For every 10% of stored charge, 6% of your charge rate bonus is removed. At 100% stored charge your rifle will charge at normal speed.



http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1037631298
(Inspiration for this item goes to steam user Archimedes5000)

(+) 40% more bullets per shot

(+/-) Fires all shots in the clip at once

(-) 33% longer reload time
(-) 40% accuracy penalty
(-) 66% smaller clip size (Holds up to 2 shots)
(-) Bullet count is cut in half until fully loaded (if only 1 shot is loaded, fires only 7 pellets)



http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=805971499

(+) On kill: All enemies around the victim are Cursed for 8 seconds, causing them to take 20% more damage from your team.
(+) If a Cursed player is killed the killer restores a portion of their max health.

(+/-) While deploying: Pound the minigun into the ground, dealing up to 50 damage to all
enemies around you, knocking them back, but rooting you to the spot for 0.5s after deploying.

(-) If the Cursed lives beyond the curse all damage taken while under the Curse will be healed.
(-) If a Cursed player kills one of your teammates the Curse will be immediately lifted.

NOTES:
-The radius for Cursing is equal to that of the Buff Banner.



As stated above, suggestions for balance would be greatly appreciated.

So these are a couple weapons I came up with just tonight. They're sniper rifles, so they may not be the best things you've ever seen.

"Auto Matilda"
Model:
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=945177558

(+) While charging press R to store the charge for your next shot, but emptying your charge meter.
If your next shot is a successful hit you will put your stored charge into your charge meter.
By storing charge you reduce the damage penalty for your next shot by 50%, but reduce your charge rate by 50%.
(+) 75% Faster charge rate
This will decay with every shot taken that is not a kill, or by storing charge. This effect will not reduce your charge rate.
Getting kills will restore 25% of this, capping out at 75%.
(-) On bodyshot: Your charge meter will only fill up for 50% of the contents in your stored charge.
(-) On miss: Your charge meter is emptied
(-) 20% Damage penalty (10% when storing charge)


This next one's a big one, as there's a lot to explain...


"The Scatterbrain"
Model:
http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=308937672

(!) Fires shotgun shells
(+) Charge increases accuracy by up to 85%
(+) Deals up to 15% more damage based on distance from victim
(+) Deals up to 30% more damage the closer you shoot to your victim's centre of mass
(+) 33% Faster charge rate
(-) Headshots deal minicrits if charge is below 50%
(-) 40% Less primary ammo carried

NOTES:
Each shot fires about 5 pellets, with each pellet dealing 12 damage. Each pellet can deal a maximum of 18 base damage with both damage boosts being applied.
This weapon starts off with more accuracy than the stock shotgun (about 33% to be exact).
Technically, because this fires 5 pellets that each deal 12 damage, there is a hidden 20% damage bonus.
Maximum range to achieve maximum damage ramp-up is 1000 HU (93 feet or 28.5 meters).
Centre of mass is more or less around their chest area, where their heart and lungs would be.
The maximum amount of damage that can be dealt with one shot without getting a headshot is 270, assuming you're at maximum distance from your victim, you hit their centre of mass with all pellets, and the shot is fully charged.
One pellet that is fully charged, at maximum range, and a headshot, will deal 126 damage. A headshot that miraculously lands all pellets will deal 630 damage at max distance.


Critique would be appreciated!

So I've posted these on discord already, but I'm desperate and I'm posting them here too.

"The Jury Rig"
(Scattergun)
Model: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=349726210

(+) Dealing damage builds up Boost.
(+) Boost increases reload speed, up to 60% faster reload speed from stock.
(+) Upon fully reloading create an explosion, dealing damage to all enemies in the radius based on how much boost was left.
(-) 20% Slower reload speed
(-) Boost begins to drain quickly after not dealing damage for 3 seconds.
(-) Boost drains completely after completely reloading.
Boost does not drain while reloading.

"Give it your all."

NOTES:
Maximum damage with explosion, at closest possible distance and maximum boost, is 84.
Minimum damage with explosion, at closest possible distance and no boost, is 21.
The radius of the explosion created by reloading is the same as a rocket.
The damage required to fill boost to max is about 252 damage (three times the max amount of damage dealt by the explosion).
Reload time for the first round ramps from 0.912s to about 0.304s depending on boost. Stock scattergun reload time for the first round is 0.76s.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The Steady Shot"
(Shotgun)
Model: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=129409856

(+) Damage dealt with other weapons will increase accuracy on this weapon, up to +70% weapon accuracy.
(+) Successful hits with at least 50% of pellets will increase fire rate by 20%
(-) Sustained fire decreases accuracy
(-) 20% Reduced weapon accuracy
(-) 15% Damage penalty

"Steady as she goes."
