Attachments spawning on Weapons

Recommended Posts

It bugs me a little how so many weapon attachments spawn while all weapons are bare. My proposal is that (Sometimes) Weapons will spawn with attachments already on them, like, an AKM with an AKMS stock, or a Mosin with a PU, Or a pistol with a flashlight, but attachments will still spawn detached at a lower rate. (Sometimes, atleast.) For example, Your way more likely to find a grenade launcher on a rifle than on a bed, But more likely to find a Flashlight on tge ground than on a pistol. This, IMO would make the game much more immersive and add alot more excitement to finding a weapon, becuase you never know what might be attached to it.

This could also be very usefull with the AUG, as i'de cringe if i found an etire heavy barrel lying on the ground.

I also think Pistols and civilian rifles (And sometimes Assault Rifles) Should spawn with empty magazines.

This.

 

Also built-in aimbots, because aiming is for n00bs and too much effort.

I think the vast majority of weapons should come in "vanilla state" - no or only basic attachments like handguards and buttstocks. But not spawning them with any attachments at all and instead making them separate rare spawns this can be done.

 

Now I am not completely opposed to spawn weapons with attachments but I think it should be extremely rare and probably limited to certain locations. Magazines should usually not be found inside weapons (gun safety) but it makes sense to find some matching ones close by if you are lucky. This could be done by spawning weapons or magazines with a bias depending on weapons/magazines around: If the game spawns an item in a Police Station that already has a spawned Colt 1911 the probability of spawning a 1911 magazine should be higher than the probability of spawning another magazine. Some could go for attachments.

Do we find the guns sitting nicely in racks or on the floor because they were used by someone already ? No one will give two shits about safety when you have zombie apocalypse going around.

I better clarify this a little. I don't want very many weapons to spawn with attachments besides buttstocks, and even then fairly rare. I'de like weapons to have a small chance to spawn in a configuration actaully used by the CDF (AK-74 with GP-25, AKS-74, AKMS, ect), or some rifles spawning with scopes/random shit like compensators, but the vast majority would still be factory standard.

As for magazines, most people keep (As i said EMPTY) magazines in their gun when in storage (Not usaully military though) becuase it's easier than keeping it somewhere else. This wouldn't really be something i'de want if mags weren't quite so rare.. I've never had a CZ527 with a mag, and sporter mags are extremely rare. I wish they had a higher chance to spawn empty in the same places ammo spawns - There's way more mags than guns IRL.
