Weapons you want

[Percussigant]

What weapons would you like to see implemented in the game ?

[Percussigant]

Ohh yeah we do need more assault rifles. Also we need a more convenient ship storage design to store and browse through our weapons & ammo stores

Most "western" weapons. It's a standardised caliber for NATO cooperation
The USSR and now Russian equivalent (used to anyways) would be the 5.45mm bullet from the AK74.

So to answer the question, AR-15 type guns, G36, FAMAS, some machineguns like the m249...

Although it depends the way the weapon is "chambered", as some weapons looking the same can be made to have different calibers (HK 416 and HK 417 for example, one being 5.56 and the other being 7.62).

All in all it could be interesting to have a medium rifle caliber, but what would be its purpose ? More powerful than 9mm but weaker than 7.92mm ? Or would you have the 7.92 rebalanced and be more powerful and the 5.56 take its current state ?

I'm getting a bit off-topic there and this is pure irl european curiosity at this point, but you're saying certain guns can fire rounds not meant for their model ? Shouldn't that damage the barrel beyond use ?

-Rocket launcher types for sure (long range, fast projectile, and explodes on impact), with the downsides of backblast setting fire (the Carl Gustaf is famous for this).
-Shaped charges are essential now considering that would give you an option to blow up walls if toxic sludge is in your way.
-This is just me but I'd always imagine a Quasimorph faction with muskets/flintlocks, blunderbusses, or cannons.

Shooting a gun with a caliber not meant for it would surely damage or at least make the weapon function incorrectly and probably be dangerous for the user. If a gun is made to fire a bullet, you can assume that there has been steps taken to do so. The same gun won't shoot two different kinds of bullets though

But my point was that two guns can look the same yet fire different calibers. A caliber isnt something attached to a specific gun, modifications and changes can be done (to a certain extent).

The AR-15 platform is infamous for this, as Americans have made so many versions of this platform (M16, M4, honey badger, ...), with different caliber, different appearances, yet it's still the same "gun" because of how it works. Someone more versed in weapons could probably explain better.

The best metaphor i can think to stay "simple" is this : a gun is like a shoe. A model of shoe can be made to fit a wide range of people, yet keep the same appearance (roughly) and the same function. Of course a shoe that fits one size won't fit another, but two different size shoes can exist at the same time and still be the same model of shoe.

Dunno if that makes sense. It's late and im quickly losing my ability to explain clearly.

Also i would hate for this game to have two similar looking guns shooting two different bullets. Same reason i hate the AR-15 platform, it's so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ boring to have the same looking gun everywhere.

I dunno I'd just like to have more conventional ballistic options in general to compensate for the current meta of energy/quasimorph weapons. 12.7mm would could also be interesting to see I feel there could be a change in armor system to compensate maybe more power armor idk?

Hand Cannons, .50 caliber weapons, more energy shotguns that shoots hot plasma. Huge weapons, ♥♥♥♥ to compensate my small penis.

I guess Beast minigun and H.F.C. BFG can count as huge weapons that are already in the game
But i fully expect more of the bigger guns coming to the game with next big update

[Percussigant]

Having played with Niko Medich a bit lately, I feel that we're lacking stronger pistols as well. There's the Redeemer which is decent, and that's about it.

There's also Law and Order offered by Sunlight Coven that are two different upgrades over Redeemer

Cerberus offered by RealWare is the max upgraded Hydra variant is very solid with 9mm EXP, Hydra series is good because of a burst mode of 2 shots

Ripper by SBN is an max upgraded Starlok, it's okay for a pocket shotgun and has burst fire mode of 3 shots

I just want the bayonets and chainsawbaynoets to work.

Don't they ? It felt like they did more damage when meleeing an opponent than a regular gun the few times I used them
