Unlocking pistols as shield do not unlocks them for other classes

Hi,

I checked out. If you unlock pistol in point man class, then it unlocks that pistol for every class. Even for shield, where it says is one handed. But, when I checked this out again, (after complete removal of all config files, starting points from 0), if you unlock this pistol beeing in shield class, is not unlocking for other classes.

I'm making some try on the Android version.... Should be the same...

I unlocked the MP40 for the pointman but still locked for shieldman.

Just unlocked the VP-9 for the shieldman, still locked for the pointman.

Ok, I had now unlocked MP 40, as a point man. And for shield this weapon is still locked, but for assaultier/stealth/point man is unlocked. Is that mean, shield have to unlock pistols separately, but all other classes share unlocks?
What was general idea of your design in game? Unlocking weapons per class separately, or unlocked weapon should be available for all classes? Or it's just shiled class has separated unlocks for pistols due to one handed ability? Because I'm a bit confused.

Waiting a Dev's reply, seems that all classes except shieldman shares the unlocked weapons.

Due to a technical limitation (which I hate, but its not the end of the world) for our inventory system, you unlock the shield class pistols separately. For all purposes they are different weapons, different stats and attack methods, since they have to function differently and be less efficient than their regular, two-handed-grip siblings.

This is also visibile as the two handed are shown as NOT usable by the shield class.

Ok. it looks logical and sounds technically correct Since shild class use pistols with different way one handed.
I should find this before. When window for unlocking weapons is selected, there are already icons which class can use particular weapon, and pistols for shield class are shown with different availability than other classes has. So, actually it looks like it was the plan for it from very beginning. It's ok and fine.

Thank you for all your explanations and efforts.

BTW. It's very good game.
