Return to TranZit | Tracer Rounds, New Aether Collapse AAT & Weapon Mastery (Patreon)
Content
Hey patrons, as you can see in the video above, I have been working on creating tracer rounds / custom muzzle and impact FX for weapon firing. These will be unique to their AAT theme, for those who don't know AAT means Alternate Ammo Type which are the random chance rounds like blast furnace, cryofreeze, thunder wall, etc.. I have also been working on a custom AAT called "Aether Collapse'' which is purple themed. The Blast Furnace tracers are still work in progress but the Aether Collapse is pretty near done.
Weapon Mastery
The tier above Pack-a-Punch. This is something I have actually had planned for 47 Berkerly Lane long before Black Ops 4 and Cold War changed Pack-a-Punch around. So as normal in Black Ops 3 Zombies you can upgrade your weapon for 5000 points, but walking up to the machine again with an upgraded weapon you will be presented with the option to 'Hold <key> to Master Weapon [Cost: 20000]', this is the final tier and will further upgrade your weapon as well as give it a camo and tracer rounds themed to that weapon's AAT. Each weapon class will be themed to AATs, so for SMGs it will be Aether Collapse, ARs it will be Dead Wire and so on. This makes weapons more unique as opposed to having every weapon having the same attributes in by getting the same AAT on every gun.
Aether Collapse
Inspired a bit by Shatter Blast from Cold War, the effect on the zombie will be an crystal like explosion and the zombie effected will phase out of existence and zombies in a radius will be damaged. This is yet to be implemented.
Doing features like a tier above Pack-a-Punch requires rebuilding the entire Pack-a-Punch script and how it works. While I work on scripting it can seem as if I'm not making that much progress to the level since it's behind the scenes and you don't really see it unless you're a scripter yourself. It is my estimate that Return To TranZit's mapping will be completed by the end of 2021 however I do believe that it will take a few more months to finish all of the features / scripting, easter egg and story elements.
