UT EQUIPMENT WORK MECHANIC

=====
1. HOW TO USE EQUIPMENT

--Basically sample of equipment is Translocator. That means, that you need to take it in your hands (by Q key, or another), and use it abilities by LMB/RMB.  It can't deal the damage to your foe directly. But you can use it to take advantage, or even kill your foe.

--But some items can be passive and activate automatically.



2. HOW MANY SLOTS FOR EQUIPMENT YOU HAVE

--Three. You can circle them by pressing Q, or bind its own key for every slot.



2. HOW TO GAIN EQUIPMENT

-- In warmup you can choose only ONE piece of equipment.

-- Other equipment randomly spawns on the map. You can take equipment for two other slots.

-- You CAN'T take two same equipment tipes

-- When you die, all equipment you've found will be lost. After respawn you will have only item you choose in warmup.



3. HOW TO THROW AWAY YOUR EQUIPMENT?

-- Choose it, then press "throw weapon" key.


4. MY SUGGESTIONS FOR EQUIPMENT

a) Grappling hook. Can pull/push you to/from solid surfaces. Range ~10 meters, +/-. Also can do the same with other players.

b) Health booster. Works like ye olde combo from UT2004.

c) Emergency teleporter. Teleports you in the random place of map when your health falls lower than 5%. You can do telefrags with this also.

d) Hologram. Hologram of you. Looks ugly as you, but can't run.

e) Ice cannon. Can't freeze your enemies, but makes surface very slippery. You can use it as tactical advancement (drop your careless foe right from cliff!), or just slide longer!

f) Ballistic shield. You can carry it in one hand, and fire from Enforcer in another hand. Ballistic shield has enough health to fully block one rocket. But then breaks.

g) Static shield. Deployabe energy shield, impenetrable for projectiles, but you still can walk though it.

h) Shockwave cannon. Generates shockwave, that pushes out all projectiles from its radius. Players in its radius will have tinnitus and slightly blurry vision. Because of light contusion.
