Request for Ideas : Unique Items
Malek Deneith:
When it comes to games "unique" is a word to describe powerfull and rare items items - we could call them Artifacts, Rare Items or Special Items the effect would be the same - it's just that Unique sounds better and anyone that played games a bit will know right away what this is about. Yes beeing one-of-a-kind a.k.a beeing unique is one of their traits, but not exactly one that is defineing - uniques are meant either to have awe inspering stats, or at least something that will make you think "I don't need that but it's cool". "Apo's items" aren't that - they are the power level of a fastload/rapid/extended weapon and if I found out that one of 1-2 uniques that I'll find in a game would be something like that I'd probably strangle someone... And if they'd appear more commonly they would just be taking the niche that "yellow" weapons are put in now.

Does the game says that item is unique or you just guess ?

Don't say someone would be unhappy by finding uncommon pistol that is little better than normal one..
If you like you may call these rares or uncommons, and reserve 'unique' for big artefacts you mentioned. However if the game doesn't say 'unique item' or other we are just having pointless conversation about is it proper to call something by some name..
Generally, IMHO little things like that would only make game richer, because I don't see the way they could work otherwise.

This standard issue military weapon packs a punch, but on the other hand it isn't known for rapid or accurate fire. Dangerous in the hands of a skilled marksman, but can be more of a problem for an average trooper.
