Ok, this might sound kinda weird, but gunpowder weapons were widespread within the timeframe of the majority of this game’s equipment. So is there any chance we might see arquebuses, flintlock pistols, or muskets implemented one way or another? I think they’d make a good extension of the ranged weapon family.

if we ever added em i would only seeing it viable as an objective/pickup weapon. no plans atm though

my personal take:

fuse-lit early hand cannon thing - 1 tap heads, 1 shot chest on anything lower than heavy, non fatal shots ragdoll. 2-3 shots total, when you click lmb you light it, and it goes off somewhere between 3-5 seconds randomly. garbage sway too so you just have to track the target, and a big audio/visual indicator (smoke/sparks) that you're about to get yeeted. also if you drop the gun (melee/projectile damage received) during the fuse burn animation it'd still be active, so start running.
edit: ridiculous proj speed and sh*t accuracy too, just to spice things up
