Weighted Shots should increase gravity of target (via buildup debuff)

[Theatre]

Weighted Shots is currently pretty bland. I mean, OK, it's at least a little interesting, intentionally hurting your own stamina and bullet velocity to squeeze in more weapon damage and spell resists, but it's on the bland side.

And I, as a Dynamo player who wants to land Kinetic Pulses, am offended by people who spend all their time in the air (and dissatisfied by the counterplay options like Knockdown and Arctic and Phantom Strike).

And Celeste has established the concept of gravity variance.

So I think it could be fun if Weighted Shots built up a debuff that increases the target's gravity so that by landing weapon shots I force them to land on the ground more often, giving me more opportunities to stomp.

This is a cool idea but should be a separate item. Or slowing bullets can be renamed "Gravity bullets" and just gain this effect.

I like it. Makes the item more interesting, other than a few debuffs and buffs

That "Gravity Bullets" should just be a T4 upgrade to Slowing Bullets where it allows the effect to build up and stack multiple times, with the "Heavy" effect triggering at max stacks.
