Read moreIt would be fun if players could stun glyphids by throwing large objects like aquarqs at them. Maybe the stun chance could increase with how full your throwing meter is before you throw, or more simply just the speed the object is moving, and maybe the strong arm perk or backbreaker stout could further increase the chance of stunning bugs. There could be other effects from throwing large objects, too, like maybe they could squash and kill any swarmers they land on or could break off some armor.
This would be a small change to the gameplay overall, but I think it would add a cool mechanic for when you are carrying something heavy and suddenly get swarmed. Instead of just dropping the object and running or shooting as soon as you see bugs coming, you may be better off holding onto the object until bugs are close to you and are bunched together so you can stun or squash as many as possible, so this would create a new high risk / high reward strategy.
It would, of cours...
It would be a bigger change to gameplay than you think. If people starting using the aquarqs as weaponry they'll be all over the caves instead of being deposited, ending the mission. It would make missions longer, and especially on Point Extraction; harder.
