Started work on Kustam's new chaingun replacement, the double-tap thing sucked and really the marking effect was something I hastily slapped in there to make the burst first thing worth using. The new plan is you fire a flashbang missile with a normal shot that dazes enemies. I'll be tweaking the radius later, and I'll be adding an "ammo" for this thing too.
I'm gonna tie a lot of abilities to the heat gauge, so you'll have to build up heat, and then the heat charges up shit. Seeing as you now only gain heat when you hit things with the staff, that means you'll have to actively fight stuff in melee to get access to some of your other tools.

One thing I've been debating is how effective the heat gauge should be at charging shit. I've thought about making it so it charges stuff better at higher heat levels but it might be better to keep shit simple and just charge shit at a flat rate. Though right now overheat charges stuff better.

TL;DR Kustam's new chaingun-tier upgrade is a flashbang missile, you'll charge it with heat, heat's only gained on staff attacks, so you gotta fight things with the staff to charge tools.
