So lord willing I've my made my notes right and what seems to be going on in the game means I'll be working with something very similar to Saints Row 3 and 4. This would mean a great deal of customization and tweaking can be done by a data table that controls most of the parameters for the weapons in the game. In the past we were able to do things like make the minigun in SR3 a permanent weapon, and even give it it's own upgrade chain.
I had my own weapons tweak package, eventually it had an optional texture addon. I think if the tools get there and the game stabilizes I'd like to revisit those ideas.
For now I'm gonna make notes for what tweaks I'll make when I can.
Stun Gun - Move it back to melee, even if it doesn't make sense. Possibly tune it around this.
Stagecoach/Safari - I'm convinced these two weapons were swapped, their stats reflect the other weapon model and title.
MDI-39M - Projectiles are too slow and feel floaty.
Lanzador - Needs to feel punchier, have AOE to some extent.
I might even consider migrating the Safari to the Special category and setting it up as more of a scopeless TOGO alternative. The Stagecoach however I'm convinced was supposed to be the 7 shot rifle in the Rifles category. It even shares its animation set with MDI-85 Carbine, it would makes sense they be interchangeable with the new weapon costume system.
