wrist rockets? (kind of like AQT and Saitek's Dark trooper in Talay Tak Base)
wrist flamethrower?
trishot?
melee?
vibroblade?
repeater weapon?
dual blaster rifles (since they're droids they could probably carry thema nd be acurate with them)?

A Phase 1 Dark trooper would just have a sword or shield. A Phase 2 would (canonically) have an assault cannon, which is equipped with a rocket launcher. As for Phase 3, just imagine Phase 2 on steroids. I also think the Phase 2 used a prototype weapon, a type of michine gun from my understanding.

Check out Wookieepedia, or ask people you know who have played Dark Forces (Dark troopers debuted in that game), but yeah, Darth Duck's right, it would be a bit easy. It's pretty much a really powerful laser gun with a missile launcher attached to it.

Some ideas-

Gas/Poison Nades (DTs = droids so wouldn't be affected)

Dart Rifle

Gravity Bomb (grenade that sucks people into centre of gravity)

Gattling Gauntlet (wrist machine gun)

I think it would be awesome if you somehow gave the dark trooper dual underarm chainguns! Just make sure they are not two over powered. Twice the fire power of the clone commander would be awesome! :yes: :yes: :yes:

How can you have two chainguns without being overpowered?

Something like a droideka/dark trooper, Nihillo is right it will be overpowered with chainguns though.

Assault Cannons MAY be too simple and easy, but it was sure hecka fun to use in Dark Forces.

There are a lot of organics who carry poison weaponry. Example; gas attacks in the trenches of WWII.

I think for it's primary weapon, a very fast and powerful E-11 Blaster Rifle, then a melee weapon. For secondary weapons, 12 thermal detonators and some wrist rockets for Phase I Dark Troopers

12 thermal detonators is just too much; he's supposed to be a super soldier, not a god.

You could give the Dark Trooper a grenade launcher with various types of ammunition, that way you could use Sky's interesting grenade suggestions and some others you may come up with.

You can take advantage of the fact that he is a highly advanced combat droid and add most of his weapons and equipment to the armor itself, the wrist rocket launcher, wrist grenade launchers, enhanced sprinting,"zoom function" (like that binoculars weapon), wrist heavy blaster, jetpack (of course)... really, anything you want; just remember to keep it balanced.
