Selling unwanted equipment?
Just about to click "subscribe" when it occured to me that the Trailrunner has a bunch of stuff I do not want. Are we able to sell our stuff?

If not, what can be done with it?

You can't do anything with them. Why wouldn't you want to use them? I guess you could try emailing the devs and see if they can 'remove' the items from your account.

I'm not here to play at being Wild Bill Hicock so netiher the revolvers or .30-06 interests me in the slightest. Given I *pay* for them as part of the pack, stands to reason I should be able to sell them to someone who might want them so I can buy something else.

You know, like a *real* hunter would.

Wait till you get multiples of the same gun and scope and have no way to sell them :<

30-06 is one of the best rifles in the game (as far as I'm concerned it is the best rifle) - what's not to want about it?

Selling unwanted equipment's been asked about for ages: it would create a micro-market that the developers would have to constantly monitor to ensure it worked (time better spent on development and bug-fixing IMO) but they'd make no money from it other than the initial sale of the item being sold on.

Giving away the item or lending it has also been touted as an idea but the same reasons against this apply.

It aint gonna happen.

.30-06 best rifle? Truly? I'm wanting a "shooters" rifle, not a point and pray. The one offered is lever action if I'm not mistaken, not a bolt action. Best used holding the barrel and using as a club imho.

And no. If items form part of a *sale* it either has a value or it does not. If it has no "resale" or "swap" value then they are worthless from the get-go so would be best NOT being included instead of junking the inventory. I have no qualms spending money. I have issues *wasting* money.

It's a lazy copout because they could just as easily credit the weapons on sub and let us CHOOSE.

It's double dipping and may go far enough to stop me subbing. And I'm a spender....

TBH it's worth hanging on to weapons you don't want anyway, as there are often weapon specific competitions running in which you can potentially win a few em$ just for using them.

Yes I appreciate my PoV is probably going to come across as biased, but not in the way you think - I've also had items I didn't want, and even have duplicates of some of them, I just ended up electing to find positive reasons for having them (comps, in the case of duplicates it allows me to carry entirely different setups for the same weapon - eg shotty with birdshot and another with buckshot, etc)

As Eggenberg pointed out, it's been requested previously, but with the influx of new players and the development of a new extended community, it certainly can't do any harm for the issue to get raised as a suggestion again - after all it's in EW's interests to incorporate things that a lot of the community would like to see, but you need to help demonstrate that "a lot of the community" actually does want to see it.

At present, there are no facilities to sell, donate or otherwise remove an item from your account without raising a support request for the team to delete it from your inventory, which they will do in some cases.

If you'd like to suggest it as a marketable improvement for them to look at incorporating into the game, your best option is to start up a thread about it here:

Open sights, 195.440 m (641.2 ft), double lung shot.

:D

Like DrNoesis says, best place to read up on all the pro's & con's re your idea sales/swaps of unwanted gear's over on the official forum. I'm not debunking it BTW, I'd be more than happy to offload some doublers of guns & equipment that I never use but I know that for the foreseeable future it's not something they have on the bucket list. Pretty much every suggestion that comes up on the Steam forum's been asked and debated (sometimes heatedly lol) over on the official forum.

Lucky shot. You know it. I know it. Anyone who has ever shot a rifle knows it. .30-06 LA is not long range performanced. As a -calibre- it's awesome. If only one shot matters.

I used to shoot feral camels in RL with the damn things - riding up alongside in a 4WD and popping them at 20m. For *professional shooting" (200m+ roo) we mostly used Sako .222 because they're -quieter- and far more accurate at RANGE - when it mattered.

Thanks Doc. My OP was more about if it's not an option then my subbing will most likely be done different.

Instead of Trailrunner it'll be basic and I'll use em$ to buy exactly what I want.

Nope - no luck there mate, I've got tons of long-range shots under my belt with that rifle using the open sights, it's all down to knowing what the rifle is capable of in-game. The open's on the 30-06 (and also the K98k) are super accurate, I kid you not. But you have to bear in mind - it's a game, not RL.

Which, tbph, was where I was coming from. If I'm going to "simulate" it needs to mimic RL and sorry, the .30-06 LA doesn't cut it. I know by RL experience, not this VL environment. It might be good for theHunter and I may give it a whirl later but it's not very high on my list...

Although, in fairness, even RL has it's fair share of heated debate about calibre X and weapon Y- "and I shot Z at n range bla bla..."

Our testoserone demands it :)

Don't get me started: I shotgun IRL but I'm primarily a small game airgun hunter (you gotta love UK gun laws) and the debate between .177 & .22 as to which is the "best" small game/short range calibre is a constant bore. I just sit on the fence and shoot .20 calibre. Thing is, you hit a rabbit or woodpigeon in the head from 40m it doesn't give a flying-F what calibre put it in the oven :D

I've got to say though mate, I'm a total in-game 30-06 fanboy. It's a belter - plenty of wallop and pretty much guaranteed instant drop or at most a short tracking time before you find what you've shot after it's bled-out.

A lot of guys swear by the .300 - no mag, single-shot bolt fed but it's a beast: there's not much in the game that runs after they've been hit by that brute.

Funny about the .17. A favourite of mine when professional fox shooting for both it's velocity and accuracy. Foxes are feral in Aus and used to fetch about $25-30 a skin and a headshot was critical. Never had a better weapon for THAT job.

.222 was best roo gun when they were skittish (full moon etc.) but generally a .243 for the all rounder.

Our 30.30s and 30.06s were for purely for wild pig and camel slaughter out the back of a 4WD. No question. They STOPPED 'em.!!

When all else failed. 12 gauge plug :)

The should just let us choose what weapons to get with the pack deals, and then have them as a one time deal, to prevent subscribers from getting new weapons for cheap, over an over again.

I have to say i'am a 30-06 fanboy as well ( lvl 8 now ) and as Egg said .300 no mag singleshot bolt rifles is just a pain in the famous body part, might not be the ultimate rl weapon,but i use it for nostalic reasons,as for the 30-30 i bought ( just whish 30.30 was for more animals that it is for right now ) Give it some time Mav and feel you up the way you go,i'am sure you will find the guns you like,though you have to live with them that goes with the packs :-)

/happy hunting :csgocross:
