Why are people so upset about there not being guns?

[davidj123456]

Dying Light 1: First of all in DL1 you had to progress incredibly far to get guns. At first the game barely even had firearms, and when they properly introduced them you were always discouraged from using them. They were not as effective as some melee weapons, they were not particularly effective against Volatiles and other special infected, and they would just attract all the Virals in the area to come kill you. Especially on the higher difficulty firearms are basically useless. I never found myself using them except for fun.

Dying Light 2: First of all this game is 15 years after DL1. Within 15 years I am sure all of the modern functional weapons became inoperable due to not being maintained, lack of spare parts, and simple wear and tear. I am sure plenty of them got lost or simply broken when the firearm owner succumbed to a horde of infected or something. This is probably why we see melee weapons that include broken firearms such as the gunhammer. The ammunition for those firearms has probably just flat out run out after 15 years, or has probably been sitting in a condition that makes it ineffective. 15 years of no new ammunition, no new weapon parts, no weapon maintenance, weapons and ammunition getting lost or destroyed in various ways, and the such. It makes perfect sense that there are no firearms in DL2.

Also. We do have various ranged weapons. Bow, crossbow, home-made shotgun, Finger of Glova, and I am sure there are other ones I have not come across yet.


I really do not get why people have a problem with this...?

Because people are simple and easily amused. And when it comes to a lot of games, a lot of people see FPS, and want an easier, more satisfying experience of have gun. Shoot gun. head go pop. happiness.

Lot of people who demand guns are also the types to complain about half the mechanics.

It sure would be fun to mow down zombies with a 50 cal just sayin

Just an fyi but 15 years would not suddenly cause all firearms to stop working.

Maintaining firearms is incredibly easy even for an idiot. Once you are taught or read a book you're good. There are many different substances that can be used to maintain firearms once store bought supplies are gone.

Manufacturing even black powder at home is very easy and with everyone dead so quickly the world would have plenty of spare resources leftover before having to produce necessary components from scratch.

The reason why there are no guns is because the government took all of them, not long before they also ran out of ammo XD

What about ammo? Can you make it?

[BEEP!]

The main reason why there gone is because we told them the guns were bad and made the game to easy which it did if you want to blame anyone blame the community and in the game setting it explains why there no modern guns there is a rigged gun but it's like a consumable I think it was a good idea and even the devs said they didn't like guns in D1 and so they decided after feed back and simply not liking the guns in d1 they went and removed them from the game but I would say they will most likely add them in the future with the whole secret gun stash in the city that was a big hint of a future dlc

You don't need to make rounds when you have blackpowder as any firearm you make such as using a simple pipe type makeshift gun would be muzzle loaded - you can literally use anything like scraps of metal.

I've made blackpowder at home from scratch, it's easy.

[fingfrenchy]

Yeah, I never even used guns in DL1. I'm imaging the vast majority of people were the same way. I usually prefer a gun/ranged approach if you give me a choice, but the melee was so good in DL1 there was no need to even use the guns when they became available. No guns in DL2 makes sense, glad the devs focused on building on the the amazing melee combat from DL1.

[LazyAmerican]

The guns would only be worth it if they were treated with the same level of respect as the melee is in this game...which imo they weren't in the original DL. My standards for guns in fps have gone way up since DL...if mod guns for F04 are showing you up, best not even bother lol.

A simple pipe does not work it can't handle the pressure and will blow up it requires you to have the know how and skills and tools to smelt a proper treated metal then somehow forge it into a pipe and another thing it will basically be a musket takes a long time to reload very inaccurate because people will not be able to produce the groves inside the gun that rotate the bullet.
There's a lot more to it than you think and properly priming ammo with proper measures to not destroy the gun barrel or blowup in your face it's a whole process that takes a load of time to do plus the guns that people could make would take a lot of supply and time to make and it simply wouldn't be worth the time and effort when you have bows and crossbows.

Yes, reloading ammo is pretty simple as long as you have the components , the most difficult one being primers but brass, powder and bullets are pretty easy to get.

[CoPowah]

there's lore as to why there's no guns in Villedor, in fact it explains it early on...

lol. There are millions of guns from the 1940s, 1950s, still being used by militias and insurgents today.

[Gul Bjorn]

i'm in the same boat. i have no issues with the lack of fire arms.

[neO_o_]

There are so many good games that let you shoot things with guns all the time, why people can't cope without them in DL2 is beyond me. It's all about melee combat. If you want guns other games have you covered.
