The character I’m currently using always carries a hunting knife. I picked up the Railgun CBM and figured that would turn it into a very viable ranged weapon. I turned it on and threw the knife at a Huge Boomer. “Headshot! You hit the huge boomer for 5 damage.” You what. “It takes you a long tim…

What makes throwing weapons deadly? Their ability to hit a critical organ hard enough to cause the target to cease being an immediate threat OR to cause the target to bleed fast enough to cease being an immediate threat. AFAIK a critical hit in CDDA is landing a hit on a target’s head, but unlike …

[image] ootdega: …What? Are we Bethesda now? I meant that the existence of a feature does not justify it being in the game. Granted, I’m convinced now that it should be, the hunting argument is very compelling. But your justification was nothing more than “it’s in there now, which is why it s…

[image] Throwing (Calculations, strategy, etc) The Bunker So I’ve taken a liking to throwing based characters, namely because of how stupidly fast you gain skill in it. Can I hear a detailed explanation of how throwing range, damage, etc, is calculated? It seems the throw…

So why not to add two ways of throwing - one-handed and two-handed? Do you think I can’t throw a stone with one hand? I can. But then, my stone or what is thrown inaccuretaly, without big force. It’ll not fly far away and probably will not do any damage. Thus one-handed throwing takes some (big) pe…

I’d probably be terrible at this whole thing in general IRL. I suck at throwing sooooo badly. This conversation has also reminded me of a time where I heard that you could kill a creature in dwarf fortress by throwing underwear at it. In Minecraft I’ve also killed several mobs with a feather. Yay…

CDDA zombies don’t require headshots, actually. And in fact they’re less resilient than living people – just try beating down a regular Z versus an NPC. The NPC is much tougher. Given their slow movement, lousy dodging, and the fact you only have to damage them enough to disable them to the point t…

I’m not sure what we’re talking about here with “one-handed” versus “two-handed.” Axes can be thrown with a two-handed overhead toss, but knives, rocks, and baseballs are better thrown with one hand. If we’re talking about offhand encumbrance, then yeah, you shouldn’t be carrying a massive duffel b…

When I think of throwing weapons, I’m really not concerned with throwing weapons with enough force to kill whatever I’m throwing at…but rather throwing something far enough and hoping it’s killed by whatever I’ve thrown at (read: Grenades). Throwing is the Pistols of Melee Skills; read, useless, and…

Hmm… Well, this topic is related to two-handed weapons, which afaik are “no-no” to add as they demand fundamental changes to all weapons (at least), which can’t be done as there are other tasks for developers to do. So one-handed throw is “no-no” too. I can understand it :slightly_smiling_face: Tho…

I think throwing weapons is kinda flawed
