An idea to differentiate Walter's stinger rounds from it's moon glass counterpart.

Many people here seem to dislike the tiered ammo, especially the stinger rounds compared to the moon glass rounds, since they do effectively the same thing but better. I have an idea that could differentiate the ammo types, that instead of the stinger ammo sharing the moon glass rounds shattering aoe effect, it instead gets a ricochet like a worse bright shade staff. This would make it unique from the moon glass rounds.

 

Moon glass rounds are great, of course, being easy to obtain and dealing decent damage, but the aoe effect needs to be more visible I think, for readability.

Just a couple of small ideas that I think would be nice.

This is a neat idea but I think the stinger rounds were more so meant as a means for aoe damage for more casual players as many of them never reach the lunar island let alone assemble the altar.

Yep, I definitely saw it as that too, which is why I have nothing against it; except that I think it's aoe is too small to be useful, and a ricochet with longer range would be easier for a casual player to use while still being able to limit it's damage based on ricochet targets.

I think this is the problem right here. If it's intentionally weak, why isn't it just being added to his base kit? This is the perfect time for subpar options to just... get added to him for free.

I do personally think it should be buffed I'm just saying what I think their intention was but yea it does make more sense for base kit.

No no, I agree, if they stay as skill they need a differentiator. But considering the material itself, it probably isn't intended to be strong or have a good status effect behind it. In this case, it should probably just be granted to his base kit (along with Sticky Rounds tbh but I'll try to focus.)

A ricochet is a good option. I think I'd prefer it on a stronger round though, but it's a good idea for one of his options.
