More realistic gun loading

Yes, that’s definitely going in very soon after 0.B is out the door.

Yeah I kept thinking about this feature and I was really waiting for one. It’d be cool if not all guns you found came with a mag. IE guns in gun stores would probably have the mags somewhere else seperately and even then some guns might not have a mag at all anywhere in the gun store. Same should apply in most other places. Survivor zombies, already dead mil squads/gangs, mil/cop zombies, etc. Additionally, if a zombie/dead dude had a gun on him, the magazine should have a random amount of ammo in it, and if it’s a simple body you find then perhaps it can have casings next to it or perhaps one casing (implying the guy shot himself).

Perhaps after this we can have a more in-depth maintenance and repair system for firearms so that after a while of using them you actually have to do basic cleaning to the gun and maybe rarer have to actually repair or replace a part that breaks?

If you ever visit a gun store IRL, you will notice that all guns which use a detachable magazine always have at least one, otherwise the gun store would have a hard time selling them.

The point of implementing a more realistic reloading system is to make the game more realistic, not more tedious and annoying, which your suggestion would definitely do.

On the other hand, a space conscientious looter might have stolen the magazine for a weapon they already had, it’s not completely unreasonable for guns to have a chance to not have a mag.

I’ve visited gun stores on few occasions, and so you might be right with what you just said but like someone just said, a looter may have come by and taken the magazine out of the gun because he already had the specific gun itself but wanted another magazine. After all, your survival begins a few days after the cataclysm broke out. Or atleast on the wiki’s timeline it does.

So more often than not, the guns themselves may have had the mag removed, but you’d probably find the looter’s corpse(or zombie) nearby with the mag on them.

Well in that case the looter would probably have fired a few shots (unless he got falcon punched by a shocker brute) but I get what you mean.

We have an idea floating around for having “looted gunstores” vs “intact gunstores”, this would split the difference nicely. If you’re picking through the leftovers at a looted gunstore, basically everything would be randomly mismatched, but if you manage to break into an intact one, it’s candyland for gun nuts.
