Time to enter gatling with these Pots and Bots!
Introduction
The Gatling Pea and Gatling Bot are summonable variants that deal really low damage to enemies, but shoot in huge bursts at once, which can overall equal some decent damage as a result. It does not deal splash damage unlike the basic variants, but they have slightly more health instead. They operate in almost identical fashions to their counterparts, including the amount of damage they do to their enemies and their modes of attack as well.
My Thoughts
These summonables have an interesting mode of attack and they can really perform quite well in many situations, whether enemies group up or not. The damage is quite low, but the fire rate makes up for that. I would suggest improving the damage of each shot slightly or just give it a slight health buff as they do not possess that much health in the scheme of things and they can be taken out quickly if an enemy spots it.
I would give these summonables an Easy difficulty to defeat. While they have a high rate of fire and shoot in major bursts at once, the damage of each shot is almost insignificant on their own so as long as your health is not low, you should not have a hard time taking them out. Focus your fire on it and have cover nearby in case things go south. They should never pose much of a threat unless you are at low health anyway if you can take it out quickly.
The Gatling Pea and Gatling Bot do appear in Battle for Neighborville, which I agree should be the case. They each have a cooldown of about 3 minutes, but I would actually prefer them to have no cooldown like the other basic summonables. They have their advantages and disadvantages compared to the basic summonables, and they are not too powerful either. The 3 minute cooldown really limits their functionality. They also do not seem to perform as well as they did in the previous shooters, so being able to place them almost whenever would be useful.
In A Future Shooter
I would absolutely want to see these summonables in a future shooter and making them easy to obtain. They could cost the same as the other basic summonables since they are about as powerful as the other basic summonables. They could cost about 1,000 Coins each and there could be a promotion where you gain extra Gatling Peas or Gatling Bots if you buy multiple at once, for example if you buy 10 for 10,000 Coins, you gain an extra 3 for free as a reward for buying a good stock of them. I would not recommend requiring an unlock before being able to use these summonables, since these are one of the more basic summonable variants.
Overall
Due to these summonable variants being one of the weaker of their kinds, I would suggest making them cheap to buy and easy to get with available bundle offers and no unlock cost. They perform quite well as of currently, but I would suggest improving the damage of each shot slightly (not by much though) and maybe giving them some more health, as their health is not that significant currently.
