Weapon classes

[Willem]

Can anyone point me to where i can find the weapon classes ?
Can't find this in codex or anything.
I can see the animal weapons class but dont exatly know the weapons class (rifles etc.)

how can the .45-70 be a class 2 only? it's a big game hunting weapon!

The classes seem rather wrong...the .270 will rip anything of "class 2" apart to a point where it instantly drops dead not sure if thats intended havent tried the 45-70 yet but yeah bet it could take on class 3 no problem

Also i shot a coyote yesterday with my .243 and got 100% integrity bonus, though i never had that with a fox. I guess you can shoot coyotes with class 2 weapons.

you can also look at the thread below which is pinned. It has alot of good info.
[Breakdown] Integrity Bonus - Ammo Weapon Class [WIP]

Fox is listed as class 0, but the .223 (which is class 1) apparently gives you 100% integrity for it.

45/70 Gov should be class 4 Mate that caliber is a Big Game Caliber intended for,Moose and Grizzlybear back in the day

As a hunter i can say those classes are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. 7mm is a common caliber for roe deer. i personally hunt roe deer and wild boars as well with an 8x57. Principally it would be enough to use a 6,5mm for red deer and boar. This game is overall nowhere near a real hunting experience, but it's still enjoyable.
It just should be more clear about what calibers it expects from the player to use for what kind of game.

The weapon classes are misleading. You cannot use .270 on fallows or blacktails if you want 100% integrity (which suxx BTW). You can use .243 on coyotes and roe deer (class 1 animals). You can use .223 on red fox and goose (class 0 animals). 45-70 is class 2 in name only, because it takes down red deer, wildebeest, pumas etc. easily. 454 revolver is class 3, but it packs more punch than .338 rifle (class 4 weapon) and takes down class 4 animals flawlessly. Black bear is class 2 in name only as well - every class 3 weapon is allowed and even encouraged, while .243 is a rather bad choice. And buckshot... buckshot almost never gives integrity, because it's bugged as hell.

Instead of the class system, it would be better if the game showed "permitted" species for each weapon.

Same for wild boar, using 12GA buckshot and slug are common hunting wild boars but in this game it is only 20GA, really weird decision.

You can use the 243 on Coyotes and jackals And get 100% integrity.

[Nightwalker]

Use the .270 on Fallow and you will not get 100% integrity. You must use the .243

Yesterday I double lunged a blacktail with the 270 and got 0% integrity.
