In September 2024, I developed a game mechanic for a client that allows scout players to transform into a Scout Robot and equips them with a special weapon called the Scout Buster. The Scout Buster fires explosive projectiles, and its melee swings instantly kill enemies but also result in the player's death. Additionally, it can stun enemies, giving players more tactical options.
