WepMod Equipment Mods

[Orion]

Note: This is a repost of the suggestion I posted when Crescent came out the first time. Some stuff might be missing from here because I'm not gonna just remember everything.

Essentially, modifications to place on traitor and detective specific equipment that shake up the gameplay and make the player use it in a different way. The examples and stats shown on the following spoilers are just for show, meaning they might be completely broken or useless in their entirety. It's simply to show how the meta can be changed by modifying the weapons we already know. If they are to be tiered, it's all up to Opalium to choose.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to post them.

I like the idea of modifying buy menu equipment, but I'm not sure about these ideas. Both c4s seem pretty pointless compared to normal c4, even with a buff to range or arm time. Scrambler decoy could be okay, though I've seen people killed before for not showing up on a radar (indicating they had a decoy placed). Crescent doesn't have trip mines, but the bouncing betty exists and you can use its alt fire to load your current grenade into it. In other words, the incendiary trip mine has always existed. And for the poisonous tear gas grenade, I love the idea.

Like I said in the thread, they're just examples to show how stuff can be changed. I just want Equipment Mods to be added. I'm not expecting any of those to be added since they might be useless or broken, but thanks for the feedback.

Also, I'm periodically adding mods to different equipments so check out every now and then.

Equipment WepMods are indeed something I want to do later on. It won't be for the launch, but it's something on the to-do list.
How it will be done is already a different question, given the changes WepMods went through in new Crescent. The old concepts don't hold as much as before. I think this is something to discuss further when we get to that point in development.
