Despite this video stating it’s about weapons and perks, there’s a specific focus on the Medic class. Whereas in the original game medics mostly used SMG’s equipped with healing darts, this video shows that the new game has brought a badass modular weapon with multiple functions. The first tier weapon is a pistol. Every upgrade you get changes the functionality of the gun – it goes from pistol, to SMG, to shotgun, to assault rifle. They all have pretty blue lights on them that’ll make your medic stand out in a crowd. Another cool bonus for the weapon is that all the information you need is on the sight – ammo and healing dart recharge is just a glance away. The developers are self-proclaimed “gun nuts” and it shows when they start talking about the logistics of caseless ammo and the like. It looks like everyone will get their own special knife this time around, and the medic gets a special scalpel that’s all flippy whippy in your character’s hands.
Also spotted in the video are a few returning weapons like the AA12, the Bullpup, and the Buzzsaw launcher. Tripwire has said that they want to have some crazy weapons, and if you keep your eyes peeled you can see what looks like a hydraulic hammer-staff. As if I wasn’t already excited enough about this game. And was that a rifle melee attack I saw at 3:56? EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED. Please please please release date soon.
