Guns are useless?

[IronRaven]

Common bandit survived 8 shots from ASSAULT RIFLE from close range... EIGHT SHOTS! Turns out that the only effective way dealing with bastards in this game is knife. Cuz guns are terrible?

they are good for tradeing

Different enemy types have different armor. Military soldiers and some bandits have body armor which makes guns ineffective. They may also have helmets that protect from bullets. (You can steal or make helmets and armor like this yourself.) Melee works best on them. The melee weapon used seems to matter too. Hatchet trumps knife when body armor is involved.

Guns are for unarmored enemies or looters or civilians.

EDIT:
But yes, they are best for trading with, and for home protection. Stealth kills with melee weapons are the best when scavenging. If you are shooting someone, you've basically stirred up the hornets nest and are likely to die when all the enemies mob you.

Guns aren't useless. The person you must of chose of to used a gun must suck. When I use guns.. They kill in two or three hits. Even at Close range. If the other person you facing have a knife and you a gun. The person with the knife can just rush you and kill you. That why I carry around a knife and gun. Not only a gun.

Unless you wait for your character to fully aim, you are not going to hit jack.

Saw a video on attackers with knives being able to get up close and stab a person with a gun thats like 10 ft away.

Good educational video.

Everyone can sneak kill if their stomach is not empty. Roman got like 20% melee bonus, so it can be counter one hunger level.

to be honest it's pretty accurate for guns to be ineffective in the hands of people not trained to use them, people shot usually die from bleeding out, but most people have pretty terrible aim, no crosshairs in real life, and heads and vital organs are harder to hit than they seem even at near point blank range. just generally most people can't instantly kill someone with a gun. you usually just have pump enough bullets so that the body just collapses from the trauma and later dies of bloodloss.

The best use of guns for me is giving the assault rifle you take from the soldier in the supermarket to the character guarding your refuge at night. As long as you keep enough bullets ready, it will make the defense against looters very effective.

To be frank, I don't find aggressive gameplay very rewarding in this game. The only person I always kill is the soldier assaulting the girl. Aside from that, you can avoid confrontations and do just fine. It seems to me attacking locations with guns blazing isn't worth the risks.

Took Roman to the Military base with an assault rifle and pwnt everyone. Guns are not useless.
