What weapons would you like to see in the game?

Sheb · 2013-08-29T21:27:14.000Z

Because no one added them. Go do it!

system · 2013-08-29T22:01:19.000Z

Just curious, but what’s the stats of rebar? I don’t remember it being a good ingame weapon.
Which is wrong, because it’s fucking awesome in street fights.

People underestimate the power of a long lump of iron.

This.
I can give you shitloads of weapons, which can be easily made in five minutes in standard room, and they will be superior vs. unarmed undead men.

Should be able to make a crossbow that fires red-hot rebars as well.

Another suggestion: Water gun/super soaker.
that can be loaded with water or concentrated acid.

Well, if concentrated acid is going to be used, then its going to have to be a separate, modified version of a water gun. Most water guns are entirely made out of plastic. Perhaps fire, soldering iron, a sheet of glass and so on would be needed

Yeah, the general idea is to replace the barrel with a pipe and the holding tank with a ceramic, glass or lined metal container.

Yes! Yes!

I’m afraid me recoding the entire human genome and becoming a god in the process is more likely than me figuring out how to make ammo in Cataclysm.

At least I have a degree in genetics to start with there…

Sheb · 2013-08-31T09:20:45.000Z

Just copy the .json for bolts and change the stats. No idea how to use GitHub to merge it, but if you post it there, I’m sure some coder will help.

12.7 weaponry - just for lulz.
Laser pointer - no direct damage, but lowers perception of the target.
Meat hook - add a rope and you will get a retrievable throwing weapon.
Drill - somehow useful as a weapon, but much better as a tool for opening metal doors.
Cryogun - sprays liquid nitrogen, freezes everything. Succesfull freezing multiplies all damage to the target. And hey, we’ve got an ice labs, we totally should have this thing!

detahramet · 2013-09-01T18:41:10.000Z

Well, laser pointers can actually do long lasting damage to the eye, so i suggest that it be a precise weapon that damages the head and use batteries as ammo. I can’t wait blow a hulks head off with a laser pointer, its gonna be kickass

Alcatraz · 2013-09-01T18:44:51.000Z

What about a pistol crossbow?

system · 2013-09-01T18:45:45.000Z

Maybe two versions then?
Red ones which are too small to cause direct damage and green army ones which actually can burn your eyes out.

Sheb · 2013-09-01T18:47:27.000Z

Pistol crossbows are in the game already.

Alcatraz · 2013-09-01T18:49:27.000Z

How useful are they?

+1. Freezeballs everywhere, turning zeds to ice sculptures to be smashed.

As to laser pointers… how about adding a crafting recipe for a laser rifle from CDRW or DVD drives and a microwave oven or something?

FunsizeNinja123 · 2013-09-01T19:48:12.000Z

Or maybe a laser sight? And maybe a crafting recipe for improved iron sights, if sights are still what they are in the future.

Already in the game.

Alcatraz:

They are not.

FunsizeNinja123 · 2013-09-01T20:21:44.000Z

I meant crafting laser sights.
