You can't repair the Security Pistol, Why? If you can, HOW?!

[jbwjr]

So your telling me My Scientist doesn't know how to do Gun Maintenance, ok fair enough. But seriously HOW, if at all, do you repair this thing?

Much as I love sneaking up on soldiers and Stabbing them like a serial Killer, would be Nice to have Working GUN (plus you can attach a flashlight to it with ducktape, which is convenient) Just in case.

Already got RAIDED once by these guns and I don't think I'm winning another round without the Pistol, theirs just too many of them.

Yes, is one of the major issues at the moment, all we want to fix the military weapons, but just you can't . If your gun breaks it, you have to find another. And if this is funny, wait to see the durability of the SMG, 2 mags, and directly to the trash can.

So..... Just wait for it to respawn? Assuming it DOES respawn after a while like everything else does. I think I found it in one of the Security offices or somewhere shortly after opening the Tunnel to Manufacturing. (along with plenty of bullets)

You would also think we could loot them from the Soldiers as well, hell had 2 guys with SMGs, a Medic and a Captain in that Raid. But it would appear NOT, although I did get the Rat Scanner from those other wierdos walking around the Facility.

Well, the security pistol you shouldn't have problems to get one, the soldiers use them, and the drop isn't too low, I have a lot security pistols and SMG, for their revolvers and shotguns....ill just say 30 hours if game, and only one revolver and shotgun was dropped.

Aw, so they DO drop their weapons, its just random. GOOD to Know.

I get gun drops a ton and the reason how is I used tripwire mines to kill them by luring them to it... Something about tripwire mines not counting as an attack by the player that places them, seem to raise that chance, or maybe its because they do a ridiculous amount of damage that a tripmine placed next to a enemy's head in secret will critically one shot them (I did this in the train with enemies standing facing walls, the tripmine will shoot a wire into the guy's body, then detect the moment, and pop goes the guy's brain.
You can even set the mine off by shooting or damaging it, so you can use it as a makeshift shotgun... That does insane damage.

Soil bags are needed, so the easiest way to get it in a public server is to, I am not kidding... ♥♥♥♥♥ yourself because getting a makeshift toilet is a hassle.

I suggest looting a ton of money and buying lots of coffee, as it drops your toilet need stats by like 10%, and a debuff that increases the use of toilet.

Once you 'stained' yourself you only need to wash yourself off with water.

I was wondering how you would even get a Bag of Poop. So the makeshift Toilet, got it.

craft handgun with flashlight > scrap the gun when broken > re craft using 1 duct tape > profit

I discovered this pro strat the other day, great stuff

The guns should break, otherwise all the makeshift stuff wouldn't have an advantage. I just think they break to fast. When I can barely use them for a few encounters and need to take multiple with me when I go out for a day exploring they become a burden and not an option.

You can't even pick them up shoot a bunch and throw them away in between your "normal" weapons, because you need to sacrifice a BIG piece of armor for it. All in all I stopped using them completely.

And they DO indeed brake TOO FAST! Like the Security Pistol you get maybe what 6 mags worth of Durability, Not bad to be honest. But then that someone said earlier "you put 2 clips though the SMG".

The Guns you make are Nice (50 damage per shot on the Pipe Pistol is NICE), but they are not IDEAL for fighting Groups of Enemies (you may as well be using a Musket), which happens more often then you might think.

Obviously this isn't problem when playing in a group as the game is intended for, but when your SOLO you NEED that Security Pistol if you hope to drop these guys quickly enough. Hell the only way to get more bullets it to kill the soldiers, and they tend to stay close to each other. But I suppose that is what Frag Grenades and Trip Wire Bombs are for.

Still, you SHOULD be able to fix all your weapons. Make the "real" Guns more expensive to fix for all I care just let me FIX THEM! Funny enough the Gun can be scrapped down into the stuff you would THINK you would use to repair it, OIL and Scrap Metal.

You don't need it and you shouldn't be able to reliably use "normal" guns throughout your playthrough as it is not the point of the game. If you want shooty shooty Half-Life setting then.. play Half-Life itself instead?

You're a scientist, be creative like a scientist would be. Use stealth to sneak up on enemies for bonus damage, use slushie bombs, use a thermal mallet for bonus damage, try to find grinder discs and then just make a grinder itself.. you're at this point of the game where such things should be possible and easy for you to do already.
The game is not that hard.

You can find a double-barrel shotgun later-on which is repairable, if that makes you any happy.
