Let Spiders Dual-to-Octuple-Wield Guns Properly - LovelyMimic - 09-18-2018

THE PITCH
  • As you may know, human players (and uh, presumably NPCs?) can hold a gun in each of their two hands and fire them simultaneously.
     
  • A player who has been transformed into a spider has eight hands.
  • However, player spiders are not only unable to fire 3+ guns at the same time, they also can't even fire just two guns at the same time.
     
  • demand that spiders be allowed to achieve their true potential as the deadliest gunslingers in space, by allowing them to fire up to eight guns simultaneously, as god intended.
PROS
  • It would be really funny.
     
  • Balance issues are mitigated by the fact that player spiders are pretty darn rare, requiring either a lucky roll on a wizard's polymorph spell, or admin shenanigans.
     
  • Getting eight guns is a fair bit of work, especially if you're not settling for zip guns (and immediately just blowing yourself to smitheroons).
     
  • MBC told me it would be pretty easy to code this feature.
CONS
  • Literally none.

I love this idea but I have to ask, regarding two handed weapons, they'd just take up two hand slots for a spider, correct?

Can't use them at all. Two-handed, not eight-handed.

This sounds hilarious, I mean they could at least fire 2-4 at once, minimum!

yeah this is worthy of more signal boost, coders please

This is not an idea, this is a "bug" fix. I would rate it Major, get your limbs together codey mans
