Will there be handheld weapons in Stormworks?

[Vikes7to14]

I want to know if there will be handheld weapons (Pistols, Rifles, ect.) in Stormworks in the weapons DLC. any info is appreciated.

You'll know when it's done, just like everyone else interested in it :)

IIRC they said no small arms in a Q&A a while ago.

They said basically no handheld.

They made some test but it would act like the flare gun.

Aw, that sucks. I was hoping for semi- automatic and automatic machine guns and pistols and stuff like that. Sort of like what the A-team uses if anyone has watched that

It is called the vehicle weapons DLC after all. :D


The Roadmap image they released last year.

I've only ever heard it referred to as just the "Weapons DLC". Haven't heard of any Handheld Weapons though. It also wouldn't make sense to have Handheld Weapons. Naval Weapons make the most sense, Aircraft Weapons and Tank Guns don't really make sense, and Handheld would make even less sense. If you want Handheld Weapons, get an actual War-Game.

Check the roadmap from the devs, it's always been called the vehicle weapons DLC. I wouldn't be too surprised if they did add in some handheld stuff though. Especially after it releases and the forum is filled with threads asking, "Where ma handguns at!" :D

I personally think it would be useful to have handheld weapons because I've watched a developer Q&A video that MrNJersey posted and they said they were working on military themed missions where you might have to defend an island or something like that. In which case something like a handheld automatic weapon would be useful against enemy ground troops, trucks, ect. I'm not saying that naval weapons dont make sense, just saying how handheld weapons make sense to me.

I can't wait for the natural disasters

yep

They posted this in the latest news post.

"We are currently working on the store page, the weapons components, some weapons first person items, and the AI enemy air and sea force game mode."

Could be hand held weapons, or maybe some kind of laser targeter. :D

I hope not, I'm all for the weapons update but handheld guns are gonna let 10 year olds swarm servers trying to recreate Call of Duty gunfights or whatever. However I would like a grapple/rope gun so you can tie down 2 boats together in a pinch.

From the new DLC page.

"Handheld Items

The new handheld items include the pistol, submachine gun, assault rifle, ammunition clips, as well as grenades, c4, and the handheld detonator."
