Mortarion Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) As many of you know the Synapse currently uses a place holder reload animation. As I was using it against Infested a few minutes ago, an idea struck me. The Synapse is a living bioweapon, so why don't we make a little more life like? -As a reload animation the Tenno could offer something to the Synapse and a Alien like jaw could like pop out and snatch it from your hand. -As an idle you could toss a treat to it like a dog or cuddle with it. A funny one would be if you tickle it and it bites your finger, sucks your shields and restores some ammo XD Edited January 6, 2014 by Mortarion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodpoltergeist Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Reload it like the Farsight XR-20 from Perfect Dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlraistlx Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Or make it don't reload at all, just use ammo from the stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezues Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Hmmmmm, what about the weapon aborbs electrical energy from the air around it instead of having an ammo clip? Have the synapse open it's "jaw" and then it takes in energy then the jaw closes. Now it's full! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That1Guy Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I don't think op is aware that the synapse is essentially a spinal cord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezues Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Oh please like the infested don't have weird enough anatomy to justify a mouth coming from a spinal cord in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waaaaaaaals Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Gearbox did this in 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezues Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Aha you see but if you think I am from another planet for that idea than it's perfect for the infested, cause of how alien they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezues Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Gearbox did this in 1999. Saw the start of the video (I assume that is what you were referring too) and the only similarity is the fact that the weapon has a mouth. If I had even the most meager of artistic skill I would draw some concept art but I can hardly do stick figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Gearbox did this in 1999. That was actually what I was thinking of. Freeman playing with that little grenade is funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fet_nite Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Maybe you could feed the end of it reeces pieces or something as the reload animation that would be neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboDoge Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Reload animation? Let Synapse have a little mouth in which we can put all ours nanospores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizarreFetalChimpanzee Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'd like to see an animation like this for the synapse; it'd be quite fitting. Reminds me of the Geonosian Beam Weapon from SWRC; its beams were fueled by the user's own blood. I like weird things like that in games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumboldtZ Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I want it to arc more like a tesla and less like a magic beam weapon. (I have a thing against beam weapons unless they are giant capital space ships or cheezy kung-fu/cartoons) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortarion Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 like this? That was what I was thinking. But the Synapse would actually bite you and there would be something like a shield draining aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
