    Suggestion 1: Grant a cash bonus for killing a player with the right stick melee. Give people incentive to get people to use the melee more. It is much more difficult to melee someone than ring them out. It will also encourage people to go for the melee protags in legit games (we are getting these in the DLC right?). I'd have it grant at least the same cash as a ring out.

    Suggestion 2: Grant a cash bonus for KILLING a player who is currently juiced. This is pretty difficult. I don't know how much it should be worth, maybe the same as a ring out, maybe less, probably not more. (And fix that stupid health regen gllitch!)

    Suggestion 3: Protag for killing a player who HAS juice, but has not yet activated it. "Denied?" Think of something.

    My only reservation is would the influx of new cash sources imbalance the game economy?

    I like it! Nothing wrong with providing more incentive for players to take down other Pros in a unique manner.

    That being said I don't see the point for rewarding a flat rate based on the current kill streak for every kill. Why should a player with an 11+ kill streak earn more per kill than one with only 4? The point of MNC is not TDM so I can see giving the player a bonus when they attain a new kill streak tier at 3 (Hot), 7 (Mega), 11 (Ultra) and 25 kills (Uber) but this bonus should be given only when the player hits that next tier, not given with every successive kill after that.

    In this manner you get rewarded for being creative in your kills from ring-outs, melee kills, ejector kills, grapple kills, etc. but not for just maintaining a kill streak. Want to make lots of money, better start doing more than simply killing other Pros in the most basic manner possible. You can't get more high risk, high reward than that.

    On a side note juiced kills would not give you much money unless you got really inventive. Your kills while juiced could still help you attain the next tier bonus though. Heck, this could fix juice chaining all by itself. Add in your preference of increasing the juice cost for that specific player with each purchase and I'm sold.

    EDIT: It would be great if there was a diversity Protag series for killing Pros using a certain number of methods in a single game. How many different ways are there to kill a Pro?

    I'm def behind money bonuses for killing people in creative ways!

    I think there should be a small bonus for killing people with secondary weapon grapples (killing blow, not a ringout)

    I agree with pretty much everything posted.

    Trying to count the ways:

    -Primary Weapon
    -Secondary Weapon
    -Skills (Varies between each pro)
    -Ejector
    -Annihilator
    -Grapple
    -Ring out
    -Turrets (each type)
    -Bot
    -Fire?
    -Melee

    Anything else?

    Fire is too easy. Instant fire kills on assassins with no armor.

    Is there a compendium of money rewarded for each type of kill? It seems like it would be quite relevant to this discussion.

    "Denied" is the protag for killing 500 Gapshots. Just saying.

    I think "No Juice for you!" wins.

    Juice box with the red "NO" symbol over it.
