Zen and the art of crafting firearms.

[IL PALLINO]

I just crafted my first sniper rifle... Now what?

Should I give it to a squad memeber or a gate/tower guard?

Is the firepower of shotguns worth it? For skirmishing the answer is no, because I need the range of assault rifles. But would it be useful to arm squads with shotguns for building clearance?

I place mine in tower's behind my walls. It has increased range, but slow fire rate.

Probably will help against infected rhinos and elephants:D

I'll try that... Even though I'm at the point in the game in which hordes that come anywhere near my base is a bad sign.

I usually have some stay-at-home squads that help with defence against swarms, and I've found giving them at least one sniper rifle helps with that a lot. I tend to have one with sniper, one with pistol, and the other two with assault rifle.

I wish we could have such granularity on towers and gates, rather than being limited to one specific weapon.
