why no attachments with tranq darts?

[Ethanidas]

I can understand if the devs dont want us to snipe from to far away. But cant use holoscope, and silencer either? Would be cool if we could at least use the holoscope with it. Kinda bumbed about not being able to use it with the Fabricated snipe rifle too, but id settle for at least having some kind of sights while trying to tranq.

i agree some sort of sights would be nice even if its 1/4 the distances as the scope

[sirkaill]

yeah sadly i found this out today that i can't use a scope i didn't know tranq dart ammo was counted as an attachment

there tranq darts having a silencer would be pointless. but we should be able ot keep the scope there is no point in removing that.

You can't use a holoscope on a longneck rifle anyway. Attachments when you have tranq darts in PVP is purely OP

Yes, there is a point, a massive point actually.

Every other tranq method requires you to aim carefully and lead your shots in PvP. Having a near infinite range tranq method that only requires you to*put dot over target then press leftclick* to KO someone is overpowered.

Because getting KO'ed doesnt give the entire tribe a warning, getting killed does. And getting KO'ed from 200m away without being able to do something about it would only serve to make it a griefers dream weapon.

Without the scope, in order to have some accuracy you have to get closer, putting the shooter in more danger.

I am fairly certain the reason is not gameplay related, but some technical limitation. Internally the tranq ammo type is probably saved at the same "spot" where attachments are.

lol scope with tranq dart is "purely OP" and "a griefer's dream weapon." meanwhile, in giganotosaurusville...

i mean, maybe if the scope just didnt increase range for tranq darts thats the problem completely avoided... and yes ik its a 5 year old thread but I still cant use a scope with tranqs..

[Captpickles]

Don't need a scope

[Serangel]

There are mods that fix this, not that attachments are really needed for tanqs anyways.

[n♿va]

yea but its just nice to have a scope and not some ass iron sights that dont even line up properly (although yes it does shoot where youre looking so it doesnt matter)
