Bug Reports / Re: Gun Kata and beretta, some pistol thoughts
« on: December 06, 2009, 01:48 »
I can confirm that the GCB with Gun Kata is not functioning correctly.  If the GCB is your primary weapon and you kill something with it, the Gun Kata does a special reload which changes the firing type of the GCB.  I was doing a Gun Kata run and found a GCB, ran low on ammo (lol spam) and decided to try to conserve by using the GCB only (at least I think I took the second pistol out) in single shot mode.  Spammed F to shoot down some mobs, was dissapointed when I switched to less damage/bullet modes accidentally.

Whats being missed a bit is the defensive advantages of firing faster.  Firing faster means you get to act again sooner, which may mean the difference between being able to move again to dodge enemy attacks or not.

Finesse is essentially hellrunner for when you are shooting at things.

Discussion / Re: Things about shotguns
« on: July 25, 2009, 13:35 »
One thing about shotguns is that the total damage they can deal to all targets ought to not go up as the targets get farther away.  Think about it - each shotgun blast has only so many pellets, and it shouldn't matter if they land on one target right in front of your face or three targets farther away.

That said, damage should be normally distributed with total damage (across all squares) and damage spread increasing as range increases.

Alternatively, set up shotguns like real life shotguns, and simply have them shoot a bunch of lower damage projectiles at the same time.

Another thing that bugs me is being able to push monsters away with shotguns.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, and besides which, its been shown that shotguns do not work that way in mythbusters.

One last thing - IRL shotguns can fire multiple types of ammo.  Perhaps it might be worthwhile to add shotgun grenades or multiple types of shotgun ammo (R to special load any shotgun, brings up menu to select ammo types)
