Looter shooter template
You shoot so the next gun can have a number you compare. Borderlands 3 (Gearbox Software, 2019) is that comparison as a joke. Destiny 2 (Bungie, 2017) is the number on a weekly lock. The Division 2 (Massive Entertainment, 2019) is the number on a coat. One enemy, one drop you can read. If you equip it without looking, the stat is fake. The AI shooter maker is the shot. The AI RPG maker is the number, which is why this template borrows from both.

What makes a looter shooter
Looter shooter: shooting with randomised gear to collect and upgrade.
The games that set the standard are Borderlands 3 (Gearbox Software, 2019), Destiny 2 (Bungie, 2017) and The Division 2 (Massive Entertainment, 2019).
What the template starts with
The looter shooter template starts with one enemy that drops a gun with random stats. That is the smallest version of the loop that defines the genre: shoot, loot, compare, equip.
What to change first
Drop two guns and make the player keep the worse-looking one because the number is better, at least once. If the higher number is always obvious from the silhouette, you can simplify. If players ignore the number, the number is not on the screen.
2D or 3D
The looter shooter template starts in 3D.
