There's several single pistol animations in game already, you can see Primus soldiers use them during bursts. If devs were feeling lazy they could recycle these for a single pistol AT and this could be a great choice for an ultimate. The pistol powers enemies have but we don't are:
Soldier holds pistol with both hands and fires once.
Soldier holds pistol with one hand and arm extended to charge the attack for a few seconds then fires once.
Soldier holds pistol at hip height and fires once.
Soldier holds pistol at hip height and fires multiple times.
Soldier holds pistol at arm's length and fires multiple times (animation is similar to Gunslinger's Legacy but fires lasers so the recoil is more mild)
Muzzle stroke melee strike. (could be a stun)
And there's ASCII Oakley/Black Hat's attack with two pistols; a horse stance fire-at-the-feet Root i've dubbed "Dance Fool, Dance!" since that's what is said when they activate it.
I like your advantages but by default it should automatically knock back whatever target it hits to distinguish it from other munition powers. Your ultimate chould be what Execution Shot should have been; one meaty booming pistol shot what knocks enemies off their feet and does heavy damage.
How about this advantage:
I Aim With My Eye
This advantage would cause the bullet to strike multiple enemies in a line similar to the advantage Sniper Rifle has, and knock all of them back as well.
If it were up to me, i'd make the animation more like holding the pistol off to one side, hearing an audible hammer click-click then a point and fire with a single hand emitting a loud KABLOOEY sound. Most of dual pistol's gunshots sound like popcorn, Showdown (and Dance Fool Dance) actually do sound like a Western gunfight since it has ricochet noises, so in my opinion single pistol should be loud and explosive. Think hand cannon, not pea shooter.
No thanks!

Whoever you are, be that person one hundred percent. Don't compromise on your identity.
The only power with a single pistol is Steady Shot. ONE isn't "too many".
YES PLEASE ಠωಠ

Alright, then consider this:
The Unleashed archetype uses TWO swords. The Blade archetype uses ONE sword. The Gunslinger uses TWO pistols, so naturally, we should have an archetype that uses ONE pistol. The Blade archetype recently had a two-handed strike with a stun added, and we also received a new ultimate power for dual blades. Did you complain there were "too many blade powers" when either of these came out?
Also, my suggestion of recycling existing animations isn't something new; the devs made Showdown an ultimate when it was only available to cowboy robots before, and the stun strike that The Blade has was recycled from one of the two-handed staff animations, which you can watch here:
Your rebuttal?
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
No Staff/Shield/Sonic powers
No reworks to Might/Gadgets
Too many things to remember...
Why you open these threads to make people suffer?
I like the idea @spinnytop has and it suits the character I want to play so much but can't, due to the lack of fitting powers for him. I created this AT concept involving single pistol: https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/championsonline/#/discussion/1208819/new-at-concept-the-fatalist
The thing I most desire from CO is to be able to create my detective hero. I can see it now; the devs would announce this new hybrid archetype of pistol and punches, and release a Neo Noir lockbox and costume set. The mods for single pistol would be called Hard Boiled and increase your single pistol power strength. I'd give him the Zoot hat, trenchcoat, revolver pistol skin, the Rainy Day aura + Soaked aura, and enjoy a wonderful homage to those pulp detective comics of the golden age, a genre which never gets enough love in any MMO.
Now we DO HAVE an Animator, and he is stuck on making freaking MEME Dances froms 6-8 years ago instead of working on actual power animations
First, Edd would never use language like that. Eddy, sure, but not Edd.
Second, I'm not a fan of munitions, and would like to see work on other things.
Finally, I was being a bit flip. ovo

People reacting way too seriously to offhanded flippancy? Never, not in these forums! :'3
