Bullet Power Ups

We understand that players have become tired of the original BANG! Defense formula. I have looked over some suggestions from the community, and want to outline some planned overhaul changes to the fundamental gameplay.

New Rogue-Lite Elements

In order to increase variety between matches, a new rogue-lite system will be implemented into BANG! Defense. This will feature a number of new power ups to bullets which can be unlocked throughout a match.

If you are unfamiliar with rogue-lite mechanics, this is fundamentally how it will work:

• There will be a pool of different power ups. The game will initially feature the following bonuses:

  • Multi-shot, Piercing, Ice, Poison and Fire

• Every 5x waves, players will be presented with a random selection of 3 power ups. Once you select a power up, it will be unlocked for the remaining duration of the match.

• If you collect 2 or more of the same power up, the power up will increase in tier. There will be a total of 3 tiers per power up.

  • The higher the tier, the greater the bonus, but also the greater the cost!

Tier	Multi-shot	Spread Shot	Piercing	Ice	Fire	Poison
1	2x (50% dmg) bullets	2x (50% dmg) bullets	Pierce 1 enemy	Slow by 5% for 5s	Deal 5% dmg over 5s	Slow by 2.5% and deal 2.5% dmg over 5s
2	3x (50% dmg) bullets	3x (50% dmg) bullets	pierce 2 enemies	Slow by 15% for 5s	Deal 15% dmg over 5s	Slow by 7.5% and deal 7.5% dmg over 5s
3	4x (50% dmg) bullets	4x (50% dmg) bullets	Pierce 4 enemies	Slow by 30% for 5s	Deal 30% dmg over 5s	Slow by 15% and deal 15% dmg over 5s
