Gun mod?

[Niishjaa]

Before i'm attacked with "you're ruining the game" let me say that its everyone preference what they like in games im honestly fine without any guns but it'd be neat to have one. if it were ever added to the game (i doubt it) they should have like a option to turn it off.

I don't mean guns like a AR-15 or a AK-47 i mean something more on the lines of a revolver or some form of old hunting rifle. finding them would be very rare of course.

Also before you say there was no one who would bring weapons to the island there is alot of ships, If i was visiting a island with unknown fauna i'd bring a gun with me wouldn't you?

just cause it would be *cool* you know, mang.
make it extremily rare as in almost impossible to find so when you do find it you get a sense of joy and happiness.

OK, I see...so you dont necessarily need it to be a rifle ...any extremely hard to find rare item that has a cool factor would do then? What other kinds of items would fit into that cool factor that wouldnt be Op and unbalance the game....ie like maybe parts of a hanglider that you could evenutally assemble and fly all over the island..?

i don't know

" like maybe parts of a hanglider that you could evenutally assemble and fly all over the island"
fair deuce

in all honesty, i don't really care if they don't add firearms. I don't play this game anymore and im not a dev.

OK, thanks for being honest, i was just trying to get a sense of where you were coming from. Sorry you don't play the game right now, hopefully when it's more fleshed out you'll enjoy it more.

Have a great weekend!

I don't have any fear at all, I just can see that they would be OP so i don't want them.

I know you don't get it tho, you've got gunslinger blinders on so nothing anyone is saying is getting through. It's very clear modern guns would be OP against defenceless savages, that at their worst will throw tennis balls at you....and yet you still want guns with the only reason being 'guns are awesome so i want them' despite everything people have explained to you.

Some people just can't seem to open their minds to something different. /shrug

I've played many games so i know from experience that in a game like this having guns would make it too easy and boring extremely quickly. For example, i played a lot of Dayz, fun little mod but the zombies had no ranged weapons...they were incredibly easy to kill once you had a firearm and they became just an annoyance...the only thing that kept the game interesting was the PVP.

After a bit players started modding the mod with even better weapons...like Overwatch, Epoch, Origins and many more...zombies were still in the game but again they were just something you barely noticed...you killed them like swatting an annoying fly while you fought AI bandits and soldiers and other players that were actually challenging.

Make a long story short I know from experience, from playing many games similar to DayZ, so I know how easy it is to kill melee mobs with ranged weapons...its a joke and not something i want to see spoil this game. I don't think most gunslingers fully understand what they are asking for...all they can see is that they had fun shooting stuff in other games so they think it would be fun in this one too...but they dont realize there has to be a balance for it to be fun....otherwise its too easy and easy = boring.

I know you understand that part from some of your posts...for some reason you dont seem to see that guns against savages with no weapons = easymode = boring as hell.

Ya I played it. It was quite fun until you figure out how OP rabbit snares are and can live indefinitely [without a need for the rifle]...easily went to 50 days for the highest survival achievement and havent played since.

That's all it takes to spoil a fun game...one little OP thing and balance is ruined....thats why I'm against guns in this particular game.

wow, this Val_Hung dude diggs out 2014 threads about guns all over the forums.
way to go, make your voice be heard, little pilgrim

I don't think it's illegal in australia to express an opinion whats it say in your little red book?

expressing your idea is one thing.
spamming the board with necroing threads about that one idea over and over is the other.

why didnt you start a new thread state your wishes once and clearly?
you just went thru and typed "yes i like the idea", "yes please" "this is a good idea"

but thanks for the reply, i now know what im dealing with.

You're not....Val does a lot of trolling so i wouldn't put too much weight on what he says.

[capnclammy]

If you want to mod guns in an run around blasting cannibals with a mini gun then you should go for it.

I find the forest fine without guns but having 2-10 shotgun shells + a pipe + sharp rock wouldnt be too OP. 10% chance to explode 10% chance of dud.

god if you are able to OBTAIN a KATANA... i said it A KATANA in the game.... and DYNIMITE, why wouldnt you be able to obtain atleast a revolver OR something like that.... especially with all this weird bible stuff in the caves which seems to look like an exhibition of some sort, and a group of guys with laptops surrounding them and boxes of money.. why wouldn't there be one or two guns in the whole place? obviously if you guys adventure around the island it looks like there has been many many people other than the plane crash that has been to the island, ranging from yachts, to row boats, to a film crew of some sort, to campers, climbers, explorers, old tents in the caves with tables and books etc, that look like the 1900s, even a winchester would do justice... but what do i know, all i have is a KATANA, the most unlikely weapon to even obtain in a forest like that.

The katana is a weapon that someone brought with them...whats hard to rationalize about that...its not like there was a whole crate of them. Practically any weapon can be rationalized to being on the island...if the dev's wanted bazookas, machineguns, flamethrowers and assault rifles they would just need to have a bunch of dead army guys on a crashed military aircraft...or any other number of things....nobody is debating that.

What is being discussed is what need is there for rifles and handguns against defenceless savages...in a game that is trying to be a challenging survival game. Some say 'well give them guns then!' but then we have a totally different game. In THIS game the setting is more primitive and crude where you live off the land and craft most of what you need to survive. Until the savages have ranged weapons there is no need for anything more powerful than what we have now...whether its a pistol or an old hunting rifle...all OP...simple.

you moron who would bring a KATANA BUT NOT A GUN i mean who would do that not a gun but a katan what are you some kind of weeb?

[NotSoSneaky]

As I see it... The research lab would've had guards, most likely armed. Making a 9mm / .45 handgun a believable find in the end of the game.

Also, this is a mod thread, any and all mods are optional. Meaning, if you don't want it, don't get it.
