Hunt: Showdown 1896

Hunt: Showdown 1896

Where is the Kar98 german rifle?
The K98 german rifle is from the same era as the setting for Hunt Showdown. How come it is still not in the game? They got the broomhandle Mauser (Dolch) and the Bergmann 1896 (Bornheim), so is there a reason for the K98 not to be in the game?

What do you think it would add, that other current guns don't? Just curious your thoughts.

Why add new guns then?
What is the point having more than one rifle type then?
Kar98 is legendary in its use
Don't weapon if you never used weapons

Because they add something to the game that other guns don't.

Exactly this.

And that's all my question was. What do you think this gun would bring to the game that the others don't?

I don't know why you're getting offended. It's a question. You could simply say "different sights, different handling, more options in an under-represented ammo type, different reloading, etc, etc"

Chances are it would have different fire rate, range and damage stats as well as ammo capacity. Thus adding a gun with those stats to the game that other guns don't have. Much like they added 1 new gun and 3 new gun variants recently.

Therefore the Kar98 would add the ability to use a Kar98 with Kar98 stats and a Kar98 viewmodel in the game.

Also it would add 2 lore pages as the Book of Weapons gets bigger.

New Guns -> More Content

You still haven't mentioned one thing it would bring? Or are you just saying it's the skin that's the only difference than say.. a mosin?

I can name different things between pepsi and coke, between mcdonalds and wendys. I'm not saying it shouldnt be added, simply asking a question. What difference would it bring. jfc


edit: the whole reason I asked the question in the first place, was because I assumed the OP had experience, or knew a decent bit about the gun, and could let me know what differences it would bring.

Do you know a lot about the gun? If so, can you tell me how it feels/plays different than the others. That's all I'm asking.

Yea, the Gewehr 98 would be the period accurate rifle.

This makes sense.

It's not of the same era at all. Kar98 is much newer than other rifles in Hunt. Even if it did, it wouldn't add anything to the game, for there are plenty of long ammo choices already.
