Better Guns

The First time i played through the game
i made a looking glass rifle and it was the best weapon i had for the game.even tho the tech schematic was at the fifth degree of gunsmithy and not seventh,which is elephant gun.looking glass was 40-40,and elephant something like 10-30,but the second time i played the game the looking glass rifle was only 10-30,and elephant gun was 30-40,was this some kind of bug? or did it depend on my skill?

 

Both guns you mentioned where changed in the patch. So if you play Arcanum unpatched they will be like your first game and if you patch they will be like you just descibed. The reason for this was probably that the looking glass rifle was hugely unbalanced imo.

 

Everyone better keep your hands off my LGR ro I'll get angry and :minigun: It was the only thing that actually allowed my weakling low DX low ST and no Dodge or Melee Techie to survive. :smile:

 

I used some gun I made with a Schematic, I can't think of the name off the top of my head, but it's a charge weapon, you make by combinging the looking glass rifle and the tesla rod, it's ... very nice, though perhaps not the nicest weapon out there, does 40-80 I think ... i could be a bit off there though.

 

Does the hushed revolver hav any uses. Its much weaker then the fine revolver and it doesn't seem that silenced after all in my game

 

the tesla gun does 10-80 damage in the patched version,i think. the hushed revolver really doesnt have a real use,but it might have helped me when i killed the magick shopkeepers in tarant,im not sure

 

the vendigroth pistol is the best 20-40 dmamage and 13 speed

 

Mmmmmmmm... Better guns..

 

Great graphic. Wouldn't want it.

 

But you'll get it if you keep on posting so much. And, something new will be designed you'll be stuck with it :smile:

BTW what don't you like about this graphic?

 

Oh, I like it. It's great. But I'm a mage from Tulla, remember? So what would I do with a gun?

 

Run screaming from it. :wink:

 

You're a mage :minigun: Can you speak the words of a spell faster than bullets fly?

No offense just kidding, BTW it would be nice if one could choose a mage/tech aptitude in his/her profile which would result in different status pics. What do you think Saint?

EDIT - One more thing. Where is the trigger in this gun?

looks almost like the same 4 barrel shotgun from alone4 man that game sucked.

 

No trigger, you just bang it against the wall with it's butt and *gasp* it shoots.

And mages suck :minigun: tho they are alot easier to play and that isn't fair to us tech guys.

And I got LGR at level 8 I think, i went to Tarant, then took the train to ashbury and stole the gun from that firearms master so i could kill the gang :smile:

 

The trigger is there on the bottom. You can't see it because of the angle of the render, but it's there.

As for making it so magick people get one line of ranks, and tech get another, I'm not too sure how easy that would be to impliment. If if it is easy, I'll need a bunch more rank pics.. heh

 

SERIOUSLY, Arcanum should have guns that have Character !

Example :

BFG 9000- an energy gun using batteries which cause area damage, just like in Doom. Good for clearing rooms of monsters.

Plasma Gun- energy gun with a high rate of fire, moderate damage but the speed makes up for it.

Chainsaw- Battery powered saw with high damage and moderate speed (found schematics)

Invinciility Shields- Potions which bestow temporary invulnerability when the screen turn black and white.

Adrenaline boosters- Potions which enable unarmed damage to shoot up temporarily, so gaunlets can do a lot more destruction. Maybe decrease the defence of the user during the duration.

Doom III is coming soon !!

Iddqd !!

 

hmmmm

Doom 3 is too heavy for my budget 2 years old computer. :sad:

 

If you check the Schematic database in the "library" it says there is a multi barrelled pistol but the only schem I found was in the factory in tarant and it couldn't be used only sold to the thieve's underground. Whats the deal with that?
