Underwater weapons

[Forward Unto Dawn]

Currently our only underwater options are melee weapons which is not optimal against shark. I deal with it by luring it to the surface and shooting with percussion cap pistol. Can we have under water firearm(or just let us shoot the crossbow under water) in the future plz.

The crossbow should work underwater IMHO. They work the same as hand help harpoons.

Thanks you.

I'd like to be able to make my own speargun....After all, we already have so many different guns in the game, seems a little silly not to have a speargun in the game.

yeah i thought this weird also considering the game is mostly based under water that there wasnt any spearguns

well they have said that ocean combat is in the works. I would think that would include weapons that work underwater.

Yeah if its in the works great, DEF 1000% spear gun is needed , which i guessing the dev have thought of already

I think there should be at least a few ally islands with NPCs to do quests for and more stores with different items.

There is a spear gun in current beta.

Combat Knife kills fast--- it's a learn to play issue in my opinion.

The new harpoon gun works well against sharks and marlin.

Also, at least in the non-test -version, one can shoot sharks etc. from above water, e.g. from a boat. The visibility / wave distortions can be a bit of challenge, but not really an issue. All my marlin kills are with spears, all shark kills from boat with either crossbow or bolt-action rifle.

в тестовой версии есть гарпун, он прекрасно стреляет под водой, и убивает подводных обитателей

I usually wait until a surge of water envelopes me, at that moment I can see the shark a lot better, and that is when I take my shot. Unfortunately, you have about a second and a half or two seconds to take a shot. I am also usually in the water hovering at surface, no proximity detection as long as the shark/sharks are well under the surface, they will not swim toward you.

you can beat the shark easily with the ax. Go under water, wait till the shark is charging you, then swim to the side and hack at him as he passes. Once you do it a few times it gets easy. If you are fighting two it gets harder. Try staying just below the surface. Just a friendly tip.

You can use the crossbow in the water, sort of.
