I was bored today and had an idea in my head for a while, still working the idea out so its not complete, criticism and suggestions are always welcome. So…
Introducing Dustin the bandit Mechanic (berserker class)
Bio:“Hy lekse Fo shote thiGns wuthe hse Byg Gin. simctwly, Hy lekse yo hylop firdse alwot. ThWrdOluy, Dustin shote buade guoys. hy alswoz tlaks nt thired pirsoen adN cnat spowl hUrth o dumE.” – That’s him writing in third person
(50$ you can’t read that)
Action Skill: THE BYG GIN (name is temporary, maybe)
Dustin pulls out his minigun and goes to town. He taps into his secret reserve of ammo that never runs out, so he doesn’t run out of ammo while it’s active, also the mag is bottomless so no need to reload. His mini gun is made from scavenged parts, so it has that bandit brand look, and can be customized and upgraded throughout the skill trees. The fire rate increases over time, and the ADS button revs the barrel. You can still throw grenades and melee normaly with the minigun out, but movement is slowed 15%.
Duration 10 seconds, cooldown 30 seconds, and activating it again will start the cooldown early.
Melee weapon:
A heavy monkey wrench that can have deadly accessories added to it throughout the skill trees, if you’ve ever played Dead Island you should know what I’m talking about. Even if a weapon is bladed, he will still use his wrench but the extra melee damage would be added.
Appearance:
6’3 and a brute, he also has salvaged amour that is battle worn with the Crimson Raiders logo on his chest piece, covered with a heavy leather jacket. His amour can also improve with his skill trees. His mini gun is on his back, along with a backpack filled to the brim with scrap metal and bullets, so he’s at least running around with 150 pounds on his back.

Tier 6
Mazter ov inprovize:
You can now equip 2 weapons in one weapon slot, and 2 shields in your shield slot, but the weapons/shield are combined. The second weapon you’re equipping in a slot with one weapon already equipped in it would let you either add or replace one trait from the second weapon to the first, same would apply to shields. You’d only be able to combine weapons in the same class, like ARs with ARs and SMGs with SMGs. But any drawbacks or special gun traits that came with the second item carry over to the first.
Ex:
You got a Jacobs assault rifle, you take a bandit gun and replace the Jacobs mag with the bandit mag so you’d have a Jacobs assault rifle with the mag size of a bandit gun
You got a maliwan fire smg, you take a hyperion smg and replace the maliwan barrel with the hyperion barrel, so the maliwan smg now has the accuracy and stability of the hyperion smg.
You got an absorption shield, you take an adaptive shields health bonus and add it to your absorption shield, you now got an absorption shield that gives you a health bonus.
The second item can always be unequipped or re equipped to change the trait you want added and if you’re respecking and the skill is lost all the second items will be added back into your inventory.
legendary, seraph, and pearlescent weapons cant be combined, but everything else, including unique and e-tech can.
Mechanist , skills to trick out your big gun, literally every skill is for your minigun
Tier 1

Increases the damage of the minigun.
Framework:
Adds reinforced barrels and stabilization cylinders to the barrels to reduce the recoil and increase the accuracy of the minigun.
Tier 2
Tesla cannon:
Adds a tesla coil to the side of the minigun, shots can ricochet and deal extra shock damage

Tier 3
Hot lead:
Adds an internal heating system to the minigun that attaches fire bombs to every bullet and heats the bullets cherry red, bullets now cause fire damage and can ignore damage resistance, the fire damage can spread to nearby enemies.
Really big gun

Auto mags:
Adds an auto-loading magazine to the minigun that decreases the cooldown time.
Tier 4

Tier 6

I might go back and spell all the names for the skills wrong later.
