[DannyD]

Doesn't sound like anything I've personally heard announced for this game. So, I guess that's a point in favor of you being driven crazy by proximity to zombies.

Jost might know more, He seems to keep abreast of all the news, and is likely to comment in this thread at some point, probably. (If you read this, Sorry for callin you out, Jost. :P)

I think with any rifle you want to get a scope asap but I think they are ok, I just found one so I'll try it out in my game. There is a pipe rifle, lever action and the sniper rifle you all have for an alpha or two.

Are you referring to this maybe?

they're in Darkness Falls if you want to try them ;)

Concept art for the “primitive rifle” was shown back in January.

The lever action's being relegated to a low-tier weapon? That's disappointing, I wanted to do a full cowboy playthrough with a revolver and a lever action rifle to go YEE HAW on zombies.

'Low tier' is purely relative. You can survive late game with literally any weapon- Your skill choices carry you far more than weapon tier in most cases. You would need to plan differently though for weaker weapons- Hunting rifle is a tier 1 weapon that can work at level 300; but you have to set up your horde base so that you have the time needed for the constant single shot reloads, You can't afford to have zombies in your face after every shot.

It's not though. Since the "primitive rifle" will be the level one. It's like saying you can do level 300 bloodmoon with a single blunderbuss, which the primitive rifle will share the same level.

Well actually a level action rifle would be level 2 and the bolt action level 1. Since the lever action has a larger magazine and faster reload.

My point is that you Can do a high tier horde with a blunderbuss, though.

If your Strength skill is maxed out, your shotgun skill is maxed out, and you have a Q6 blunderbuss with 4 good mods on it, you could succeed just by planning a base that affords you the reload time you need after each shot.

Will it be as hilariously easy as with an Auto Shotgun? No, Of course not. But that it's hilariously easy with the auto shotgun means there is room to downgrade and still be able to succeed.

Kinda agreeable. If you can indeed spare the time to unload 4 shots of blunderbuss in each and every basic radiated zed, (probably 8 or more for cops and wright?) While 20+ of them bash on the walls...

thx every one for your replies. so weird though cuz i thought i could even remember the snapshot in steam news. it was first person point of view of someone holding a riffle at night XD. anyways on the other topics, i dont think i would even use a horde base if i was just using a blunderbuss. i like running around and getting them grouped together. besides they bust through the walls too fast for me unless i turn their block damage down.....

Hey DannyD, the Lever Action Rifle and the Moonlit Nights updates you were mentioning was actually for another game: Subsistence. It was their April 1, 2021 update.

You can't see the Update/Announcement Notes on your Game Library Page but you can see the picture and update through their Store Page.

[DannyD]

wow, your right. sorry about the confusion. I looked at it again and sure enough it was that. it didnt occur to me that it was that game since i never downloaded it to this system.
