I've been thinking about a VS survivor DLC alot lately, and one thing that was really cool in LotSB is that liara gets, singularity and stasis, powers that only she(and shepard if he is an adept or trains stasis) can use. So i started to think about some cool talents and abilities for both of them.
First off let's start with Kaidan. Kaidan is a sentinel so he will have amix of tech and biotic abilities, but since LotSB already added a new biotic power. I was thinking he should get a cool new tech talent and perhaps warp or throw. Perhaps something along the lines of a new version of damping would work. For those who don't know damping was a power in ME1 that shut down enemy tech and biotics for a period of time. In addition to this, it would also disable shields and biotic barriers for a very short time period, after which the shields and barriers return at full strength. (Hint:buff to adepts:Hint)
Kaidan's weapons should be the standard pistol and sub-machine gun that many others get. However here is where we start to have some fun and make Kaidan into a bit of a badass. We give him the tech shield from LotSB.
(Image removed for spoilers i can take a hint)
Why? Because it goes with the whole sentinel being a defensive class. Kaidan uses this shield to advance and flank on enemies as well as provide cover for allies by standing infront of them. The shield does not last forever though and after taking a certain amount of damage will fail and need to recharge for a while. At the end of the DLC Kaidan gives Shepard his tech shield which can be used as a heavy weapon along with pistol/sub-machine gun. The shield heavy weapon doesn't have ammo but it does have health. Meaning that if your shield dies you use power cells to recharge it.
Next up is Ashley. Ashley is a tough asnails soldier so her arsenal and squad powers need to reflect that.That is why I think she should receive two new weapons. The firstbeing a heavy weapon mini-gun. But not a mini gun as you and I know it. No this is a rifle mini-gun, fired from the shoulder. Here issome concept art to show you what I am talking about
http://www.50beowulf...Minigun-Concept(not pretty but you get the idea)
basically Ashley uses this gun to giveyou cover fire while you take out the bad guys. The mini-gun rifle is slightly more accurate than a non-upgraded revenant but has a wind up time and will over heat if fired too much. Like the Tech shield Ashley gives you the mini-gun rifle at the end of the DLC.
Next,to balance things out and give Ash some ranged attacks. Ash will alsoreceive a new pistol. A modified Remington flare gun. How can a flare gun compete with a mini-gun? It fires explosives that's how. The
Remington would be a one shot pistol that shoots a concussive blast type of grenade. It does wonders against barriers and shields, doesok with health, but it's weak against armor. The Remington truly
redefines “boom-stick”.
As for a new ability, I like the idea of a finishing move for Ashley. So maybe give her a throwing/ballistic knife ability that inflicts a massive amount ofdamage to health, but doesn't do anything to shields, armor, andbarriers. However, this ability would not curve like tech or biotic powers, so you would need a straight shot.
You would get all of the weapons and bonus powers at the end of the dlc regardless of which VS you chose. I know this list is completely unrealistic but hey it's worth a shot just to post some ideas:P
