Back mounted stuff.

[Sundance]

More stuff could be mounted your back, where you'd normally have a bag slot. This would require spriting, but it's on my to-do list and i'd like to take a shot of it, after some feedback.

There are TWO main ones that I'd like to do, and I'd push for a third if anyone has a suggestion, I'll probably pick on of the better ones on here.

The two are:

- Chainsaws. That's red and green. Chainsaws are rad. Red chainsaw in particular is rad. However, unless I'm mistaken you can't actually put a red chainsaw in your bag, so you have to roam around with it in your hand, or make it literally become your hand. Having it so it slots on your back would look dank and would be super handy.

- Flamethrowers. Same reason as above. Flamethrowers are rad. But they can't fit in your bag. Mounting it on your back would be super useful.

Thoughts?

flamethrowers already fit on your belt, don't they ?

anyways when do we get chainsaw legs ?

Metal foam thrower, like the GLOO gun from Prey. You can do something similar with a flamethrower, using a nitro precursor to make heat produce the final reagent for the foam, but it's clunky and might not work with the new fluids mechanic. Just a back-mounted tank + a flamer-sized 'gun' that shoots out small metal foam 'explosions' to patch hull breaches and stuff.

Heads up, when I said backmounted, I'm not talking about new code mechanic. I'm talking about that it literally can fit on the back slot for convenience and for cool points.

Flamethrower fitting on belts? I'm not too sure about. That's the RPG afaik. Actually the loaded RPG fitting on the back slot would also be neat.

Back mounted fire extinguisher that holds far more fire fighting foam than the little ones

Riot shotguns going on the back fits with their sprite, they even have a handy strap for it. Plus you get that cool over-the-shoulder rifle look.

Spears would also look pretty cool, no idea how that would work with materials colouring.

I suggested a "glob" mode for the flamethrower and the concensus seemed to be that it should be part of a seperate chem thrower. So something that throws projectiles with reagents drawn from two tanks, deposits and mixes them at the desired point.

It's technically not a gun, so you can't put it in your belt.
