Weapons of Mass Destruction

These are some weapon ideas to include to add more variety. for these weapon ideas to work well, a few aspects need to be changed. 1. The firing method would have to be changed to mouse clicks so that the player can fire at an angle instead of just straight up. 2. These weapons work well against larger groups so there may need to be an increase in the number of zombies on the screen at once. 

These weapons that would be supplied in the bottom left corner, supplied by the survivors, at different point milestones. Only one can be held at a time, however if the players picks up an item while they already have on in their inventory, they will put the item from their inventory down, and pick up the new one. In other words they will swap what they have for what is available. These weapons are activated by right clicking. All weapons would eventually stop by either running out of fuel/energy, or just breaking after a set amount of time has passed/damage is done.

Tier 1
Main Weapon- Pistol
Tire- Bounce around and hits a few zombies for small damage
Trash Can Lid- Flies straight and cuts few zombies heads off
Trash- Put across battlefield, slows zombies
Water Jug (like a water cooler)- Splash, zombies slip and fall

Tier 2
Main Weapon- Machine Gun
Chain Saw-Would crawl around (pulled by its own chain) similar to tire bouncing around, hitting several zombies, doing medium damage
Saw Blade- Flies straight and cuts  off several zombies heads
Barbed Wire- Put across battlefield, slows and hurts zombies
Barrel of Acid- Splash, zombies slip and fall, AND take damage

Tier 3

Main Weapon-Auto Shotgun
Wrecking ball- swings through, hitting many zombies doing large damage
50 cal. sniper- shoots straight through all zombies in its path, (only has 1 bullet)
Laser- Permanently slows zombies (cripples legs), and damages them
Grenade-Kills zombies in immediate area, damages zombies withing radius x, cause ground to shake making most zombies lose balance and fall
