Eh , I have one and they were nice...but are completely blown away by newer shotguns...My Kel-tec KSG which I keep loaded with 12guage mini slugs , holds 25 rounds . Even better , I like my new and cheap(under $600) Tristar KRX semi auto with 10 round magazines...shooting 10 12gauge rounds in a couple of seconds is awesome!
Were you guys aware that AOE buffs on blocks only works for existing AOE blocks like campfires, so we'd have to hijack a vanilla block to make cool mods like air conditioners? (See what I did there... Cool mods... Ac's...)
I don't own any of those, they look powerfull tho! I love the aesthetics of the spas-12, It goes better with the lore than a brand new shotgun IMO, i guess MM and the crew will see what is the right way to go with it!
OH I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE.
I don't see what you did, but I bet it was cool!Were you guys aware that AOE buffs on blocks only works for existing AOE blocks like campfires, so we'd have to hijack a vanilla block to make cool mods like air conditioners? (See what I did there... Cool mods... Ac's...)
When can we start reporting bugs on the mod side of things?
Blades strike me (ha!) as more multi-purpose weapons. The hunting knife should be really good for gutting carcasses, because that’s what it’s for. The machete should be really good for chopping wood, because that’s what it’s for. In other words, I think you’ve got the right idea that they can save you an inventory slot, but maybe the tradeoff there isn’t balanced in vanilla.
I don't know I prefer blades and use a fireaxe. It has far superior range than clubs, does massive damage and you can just walk away while they bleed out and die. Apples to oranges IMO.Melee Blade vs Club. I may be missing the final effects as I haven't fully spec'd into melee perks but right now it seems like Clubs always have a significant advantage over blades. The knock down chance.
It makes sense that a machete wouldn't be nearly as likely to knock a z down as a club or sledge. But that knock down is pretty significant in melee, especially when facing higher or multiple z's.
Don't have any great idea to offer that makes sense. Just bringing it up as last night I swapped out my club for the machete, to save an inventory spot, and really noticed the difference clearing a poi.

On Mobility in general, the one thing that feels un-natural to me is the side step speed. Agree it shouldn't be full sprint, but personally I do think 'sprinting' sideways should be a bit faster than 'walking' sideways.

Request for a variable zoom Scope/s. 2-7x or 3-9x. The way the old scope worked was really useful for the rifles

Can't submit a bug report since running a few small modlets but wanted to mention that while I've had zero issues with the minibike, I've had both the 4x4 & the Motorcycle disappear on me.
Happens when driving them. Just a wag but seems like it happens when loading in the next area. Game hangs, have to quit via windows, come back, 4x4/motorcycle are gone.
No issues when they're parked.
You can report them when you want, not sure if or when they will get fixed. Nice word play.Were you guys aware that AOE buffs on blocks only works for existing AOE blocks like campfires, so we'd have to hijack a vanilla block to make cool mods like air conditioners?

very true, and, for me at least, a knife/machete is an 'always have' item due to the harvest animal/bone bonus. Yeppers. The Fireaxe out in the open is a really nice melee weapon, and a welcome change for A17!
A suggestion. I know you guys have dialed in to the "3 weapon tiers" per attribute, but wouldn't it also be prudent to have a "found" and a "made" version of each tier? For instance, a home-made axe would not have near the utility or quality of a pre-war manufactured fire axe. Having pre-war tech found only via scavenging would also promote looting as opposed to sitting in your base crafting or waiting for your buddy to come online to give you an axe he made.
yes those would be great!
Interestingly, enough if you compare a machete vs steel fire axe. Go with the steel fireaxe and compare the stats. Not only does the steel fireaxe deal more damage than a machete, but it also swings faster as well. I mostly see blades as a weapon for stealthy characters, especially if you have perked out in the "cut in the wounds" or something like that, at max level it has a 100% chance to cause a bleeding effect on NPC's. Hit zombie once and let it run out. While with a club it's more of a brute force weapon, knock em down and keep em down, one hit, two hit.
