Nemesis could have Rocket Launcher

Nemesis could recive a Rocket Launcher in his base kit and it could still be somewhat balanced and hilariously fun (it would also buff him as a Killer).

Here is my idea how would that work. You see, Survivors use Vacine to remove the virus when they get hit by his power, decreasing the overall pressure for the Nemesis since he has to hit you once again (3 health states with M2). Now imagine if there would be like a small drawback and a choice for Survivors to make, similary when you play againts Plague (to cleanse and heal = but you give her power).

Each time you infect a new Survivor, you gain a 1 token. After recieving 4 tokens, you can have 1 shot from Rocket Launcher. Maybe it could be like a sick new animation from R3R how he just drops huge case and picks up the Rocket Launcher (or maybe you have to go pick it up in Locker or something).

Than once you have it, you can aim and shot (like Deathslinger) with it, when it hits solid object, it detonates, damage any Survivor within 8 meters and destroying any dropped pallet or breakable wall in process. It does like area of effect explosion.

You could only have this twice (max is 8 infections you can do if all vaccines are used) a match maximum and it would be in control of Survivors. So because of that I don't think it would be overpowered, however it would be for sure big fun time and it would create hilarious clips of people getting 3+ Survivors down or something.

    That would be hell of a fun.

    But i cant find it fitting into the game.

    I would rather see Nemesis sacrificing his mutation lvl (from 3 to 2 and from 2 back to 1) to upgrade zombies. Permament buff to speed and damage (damage non infected survivors) untill respawned.

    If that is too much then maybe it could be a single shot only and you would have to go and fetch it from the basement once the exit gates are powered.

    A Rocket launcher Mori would be great.

    i think reason why zombies are as weak as they are is because they did not put specific items to deal with zombies. Hypothetically, you could give survivors m19l pistols and make zombies a lot faster or invent those Xeno turrets to fight vs zombie horde. my guess for why nemesis is how he is to keep dbd gameplay loop geared towards dbd gameplay.

    rocket launchers and pistols for survivors to fight zombies is deviating from dbd gameplay.

    Survs can drop palletes to kill zombies, as for regular ones its just waste od resourcess, for upgraded ones it could be good tradeoff. Nemesis would loose lot of power to create those but You can use pallete to destroy them.

    Honestly I wish Nemesis had a different power altogether, maybe his flamethrower or something. Getting free hits on survivors at loops with a limp noodle isn't very satisfying.

    Guns with bullets & explosive weaponry doesn't really belong in dbd.
