Gun Uses

[[MNI] Kisune]

Hey just wantet to ask when you should use guns or If you should just use them
since most of the time early on you dont realy have the ammunition and after a few expiditions i anyway 1 shot anything
is this just because of the way i play or am i missing something about guns?

Pistol for 1v1. Avoid guns for more than two enemies unless you have the M16

[[MNI] Kisune]

so I guess pistol is a early game thing then

[Pawnstar]

No. Pistol is 1v1 because it has 12 chances to hit. Low damage, but it will kill most of the time with 12 shots.

I really dont recommend firearms for any encounters with more than one enemy. Keep the firearms for trading though.

Basically, in shelter defence battles, use a pistol for best chances of winning if you cant kill the enemy with melee in one turn, since all shelter battles are 1v1. For parties sent out, the maximum chances of winning occur when you have up to 2 enemies.

Anything more should be done with 2x grenades for guaranteed victory.

Also, remember that firearms consume ammo. I rather get two sledgehammers with max str and dex for fights with 2 enemies and throw nades for 3 and above, or one guy with M16.

You dont see to understand the firearms in this game.

Pistol/shotgun/rifle has poor/moderate/good accuracy, does a minimum of 20/60/80 damage per shot if it hits and has 12/6/3 ammo per magazine and you only get one magazine per survivor per battle. Look at the stats and you will know why I don't suggest firearms for large fights; you just wont be able to kill everyone on your first turn.

This game relies heavily on you being able to win on your first turn. Risk death if you cant do this.

M16 has 30 ammo and does the same thing as rifle. With 30 rounds and good accuracy, you can almost always beat any fights on one single survivor's turn.

Yhea Well i never used Firearms so i dont realy have any idea how they work

I have a question not covered here.
Will ask here instead of starting a new thread.
The str requirement, does this mean you need that str to shoot the gun or only for its mele action part?
Cause you can equip any item even with 0 str it seems.
I tried using a pistol with a char that had 1 str, and they missed a single shot 3 turns a row, and even missed on the 4th turn when i said whole clip.

But then the 2nd char, had 6 str, which is the min need, and that char had the same hit scores to. So im not sure.

Also, is an ammo in your inventory bag, as 1 item count = 1 bullet? or 1 item count = 1 clip?

[Pawnstar]

Accuracy of melee strikes are dependent on DEX difference between attacker and target, not STR.

You can equip ANY weapon in the game with 1 STR, but you need to meet the requirements to deal the stated melee damage.

Firearms accuracies are far lower than their stated values as far as I have experienced.

1 ammo = 1 ammo. The second party member gets priority for the ammo if both members use the same firearm and you have insufficient ammo for both.

There's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ M16 in the game?

[Pawnstar]

Yeah there's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ M16 in game. It's just a rifle with 30 ammo mag instead of 3.

Just wanna add that they added a reload option during the battle soemtime after this thread was made, which will cost a turn, so you can bring more ammo to spam if you want.

[Katsu.I]

There's also laser weapons in the game I noticed.

That's only for Stasis mode. You require laser ammo for that, so you can't use that in survival if you hacked the laser weapons in.
