there is a few weapons with dual potentials. example..
reapers allows you to slash and shoot for close and ranged combat. knives can be thrown and used as a sword.
how about we make a new one?
but this time not involving melee at all. a new type of weapon.
its a pistol / rifle that shoots normally and is average in damage and quickness.
but.. the when used on other key it turns you invisible!! tewmporarily of course and your energy starts to deplete.
of course with the mine detector you can see invisible enemies and if you attack while invisible you become visaible again. you can stay invisible for a while but it takes quite a chunk of energy to start with so u cannot lame ppl with it. simply a method of stealth and evasion.
