Kinetic Slide: Reloads Gun after sliding for 'X' seconds
Auto Slide: An active item that causes you to automatically slide whenever you are walking down a slope
 
What for? Also slides are used to cancel dash so its gonna conflict with that mechanic. I dont know how you could apply this item in game.
 
Guns reload at different rates... this would become complicated to balance.
I have thought about it before as well, but the general reload times versus the slide times, in combination with unlimited ammo while sliding creates quite some issues. So i have decided not to suggest it, since i dont think this would work in the game.

The auto slide could work prehaps.
 
@morepencils is right as far as what my logic is. I think a pretty overlooked mechanic, so having items related to it could help occultist that benefit from sliding a bunch and add a slightly different playstyle (I've seen a few builds that try to use it to conserve ammo)

As far as reload rates I don't think that's a huge issue? It is a valid concern, there's just probably two easy solutions:
1) You could probably just either have the time you'd need to slide be lengthened by the reload time
2) have it slowly reload bullet by bullet (Eg. if a reload takes 1.75 seconds to reload 12 bullets, every 0.14f seconds you get a bullet back or something)

As far as the unlimited ammo, I think it could be an isn't an issue, but maybe is? I don't think you can slide infinitely to begin with and sliding long distances is a bit situational too. If you're like fighting in base you wouldn't want to slide into the enemy team, so you might not be able to build up enough speed to use the item multiple times consecutively anyway.

Idk if that makes sense to y'all too, so lmk
