Make pistols and small arms more common and rifles less common

[TheMachine 803]

Too many people have M4s, AKs and SKSs.

 

They should exist in the game, but they should be much rarer. Bolt actions are fine, bows are great. 

 

I feel like groups should be fighting with small arms more, pistols, sub-machine guns, the odd rifle, improvised weapons etc. 

 

Pistols sucked in the mod, they're a lot better now in the SA. People should be fighting house to house with .45s, tec-9s and that one mosin you only have 12 rounds for.

Agreed. 10/10 would agree again.

Pistols are very very common already. Both civilian and military loot spawns are overflowing with them.

 

Good rifles are also already pretty rare, especially the M4. I think duplication is the reason we're seeing so many people with them. Whenever I get killed and have to re-gear, it takes me quite some time to find something better than a pistol or SKS.

 

The only thing you said that's accurate is that SKS is very common. Though I think it should stay that way. it really is the only viable defense against players with M4 or AKM. Unless you catch them with their pants down, of course.

I only have the problem that magazines are so hard to find. Guns should at least spawn with a magazine (empty) already inside. Where the hell did the mag go? Did it run from the zombie Apocalypse, leaving its loving gun-wife behind as it boarded the final plane out, eyes filled with tears that he was betraying the one he loved?

 

Sorry sometimes i get deep.

 

But anyway, yes, i agree with what you said.

"Goof rifles are also already pretty rare" - I spawned in today, walked into some log cabin thing and found a Mosin. True story.

Yeah, this.

[massacrorBKK 64]

100% agree.

 

I keep saying that too. Weapons, bags and usefull gears of all kind are far, far, and too far common. This make chernarus look more like a warzone than a apocalypse place from where armed forces runned away. At least give us the same amount of gear but everything in poor state, making the find of a pristine object a real thing to be happy with.

 

I guess dev's know about it and keep it this way for alpha and test purpose.

"the odd rifle" ...?

You mean the B95 ? ;)

 

 

But I agree with you.

 

 

%rarity-lootspawns are on the way, I have read somewhere.

So this will come, I'm very sure.

oh god you lucky man

[frosti 2165]

I agree.

[StrikeEagle 7]

Agreed. Not so much the pistols need to be more common, but the magazines need to be - all well and good finding an Amphibia but if the clip is only found at say, NWAF, then it's a bit worthless.

 

Clips should also have a random amount of bullets in them too rather than always being full.
