How to pickup the revolver

[HorseySauwce]

Well I killed someone and they dropped the revolver how do I pick it up

You can't, you should check your inventory and see if you have it yet by pressing Q
If not then you just got to wait it out till you get it.

I'm at this point now. I have already collected pistol ammo from a box. I killed a couple of people with the wrench tool. They lie at my feet. Their weapons....pistols lie on the ground. Not being able to pick them up is beyond stupid. I can collect ammo but cannot pick up a weapon to use it!!!!!??? This defies logic and is a flaw by the developers. If they didn't want me to pick up a pistol until later, then the enimies should not have had them.
So far the game has been good IMO, until now.

*Sighhh* This again.

You are Amanda Ripley, you are an engineer with no survival or life threatening experience. As it is, you are carrying around a flashlight, a couple of weighty electronics, ammo, a big wrench and a stun rod. In terms of realism, i would love to see you try to pick up a revolver with all that weight and aim it.

You will get the pistol, but you will find that it is completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless.

Mkay.

LOL. Most people never have used a gun. When push comes to shove and it's a survival situation, you can be sure they will learn real quick.
You can always avoid combat if possible but then again the old saying goes, "Havaing a gun and not needing it is a lot better than not having one and needing it".
WTF is the ammo for then genius!?

Surprise, you get these weapons later in the game pal. I have yet to get them but I can deduce this by the key mapping options in the game. Look for them.

Key mapping ortions in-game:
1. Revolver
2. Shotgun
3. Flamethrower
4. Bolt gun

If she cannot use a sinple pistol then why trying to use a shotgun, flamethrower or bolt gun!!!?


So your opinion is without merit. Bye now.

Oh my! By your logic then how is she able to swing that huge wrench tool then!?

It takes some effort to weild a gun, you can't just swing willy-nilly pulling the trigger and expect to be able to handle it well.

A wrench on the other hand, you CAN swing willy-nilly and do fine with.

So then why the option later in game to have a revolver and shotgun?

I guess somehow in the next hour of so she is able to handle one? LOL.

First off:

I can't explain that, you've got me there.

Second off:

Good job, you found the edit button! Except you didn't.

Jesus christ have you ever heard of that thing called "Edit Post" hint - use it or you usually end up reported for unnecessary spamming.
Point is, in reality, she wouldn't be humanly capable of carrying so much around on her, just imagine all the noise that stuff would make while sneaking around. As for the gun scenario, you will be quite disappointed when you finally get it... In all fairness, it may aswell not even give you one because it's damn well useless against almost everything.
The reason the developers wouldn't allow you to pick it up right there is because that confrontation happens early on, and some players will opt to avoid combat all together. So, just like every other game, item and schematic, they must be found at certain points for the sake of plot. Edit: And balance.

Oh and what's that Bugaw, i used that thing called the Edit button, you see, when you press that, you can edit your previous posts instead of writing an entire new one underneath it!

Yes I have heard of edit and use it. But that being said, most people will quote you before you can edit making it quite awkward. So deal with it and kiss my ass with your patronizing comment.

As it is right now (my progress) she shouldn't be able to carry as much as I've picked up. You might be correct about the power of the gun itself as, playing on easy, I've taken as much as 7 shots before dying. Seems very unrealistic.

Immersion killing. If that is the case then they should not have given the weapons to the ones I killed.
That is the point of the arguement.
Personally, I'm less than a novice at using any type of hand gun, but I can assure you, if need be in a survival situation, I'd use one regardless.

[IndigoRaptor]

Unfortunately, a game can only be too immersive, i guess the developers wanted the revolver to be a big find to the player, like a reward, and these happen occasionally throughout the game, but i will admit, sometimes it doesn't make sense, there is a moment when you will find both a shotgun, and a revolver at the bottom of a ladder, just sat there fully loaded.

revolver sucks. all the guns sucks. just throw a pipe bomb at something if you want it to die.

The flamethrower, however, is completely awesome.
The only other good weapon is that weird bolt gun, that thing absolutely shreds anything.
