The Amount of Weapons

[Markmus Jørgensen]

First of all, I must say that I love this game! It's super fun and very challenging.

One thing makes me wonder, because the only weapon that I've found is the hunting rifle. Is it just me, or is the hunting rifle the only weapon currently in the game?
If so, I really think the game should have more weapons. (I know the game is still in alpha).

Why?
Part of surviving is the limited resources..
You have plenty of weapons actually.. the knife and hatchet count.
If you had access to an arsenal then finding food would be ever more moot than now..

I'm reffering to firearms. I know that there are knives and hatchets

[BushiNeko]

I know.
My answer and question was based on that.
Why more then?

Maybe because I'm used to have a lot of weapon options avaible in other survival games :)

Welcome to TLD then...
Where the key is survival.. and weapons are not really the answer at all.
You can live once you know the ins and outs for a long long time with no weapon.
Plus, most of those games I will guess you are referring to are not really survival, but a mix of genre... such as zombie survival, PvP survival.. zombie and PvP survival...
So I do understand that answer.. but this is not them.. thats about the best answer you can get.

If there is another weapon it needs to have it's own ammo to balance it out. Personally, I think that we should be able to find a 1911 (for the gun illiterate, it's a pistol that shoots .45 ACP).

EDIT: Also make the 1911 weaker so it's only use is for defending against wolves.

I miss my M1911.. stupid 9mm was / is no comparison.

Guns will never be a big part of the game.

True, but it would be nice with some variation instead of one single weapon imo.

Yeah that's a pretty accurate answer. And yes, you are probably right, my opinion on guns is likely based around the PVP / PVE survival games, such as DayZ, Breaking Point etc.

if they can have a bow and arrow it would be a lot better

I am glad you read that right. I just popped back in, in fact to see if you answered that.. I realized it may have sounded snarky... in this case it was not meant to be at all.

Well maybe developer could include more gun skins so we can have a choice on how our riffle looks like. Same riffle just will look different or make it random skin at map generation.

I didn't think about this. This would be pretty cool.

Id support a bow and arrow. More guns not really, maybe a pistol, ive seen what look like ranger stations and stuff, i dont know about canada, but park rangers im pretty sure have guns here atleast
