Add a new traitor item-ablative gloves
Those gloves allow you to "catch" energy projectiles and store their charge to fire later from the gloves. The gloves have 3 settings- taser, laser and pulse (rifle) bolt or max power bolt, whichever fits. The gloves arent too effective, and requires 2 lasers to be able to fire a laser and 6 to fire a pulse bolt. Also they can overload if they store too much power, exploding in your face
Its like having carp while still having a chance to get screwed by ranged attacks, if you dont actually catch the beams, or if you do too much.
Just a random idea i got while playing with sleeping carp.
