Hey Madmole, do you think the Magnum is in a good spot in the game? Even with some Magnum Enforcer books I'm finding it difficult to find it useful over the SMG or even the regular pistol.
I've floated the idea of replacing it with something more like the Desert Eagle, which would increase its base ammo capacity as well as allow for pretty much all the regular pistol mods to be compatible with it, like the extended mag and silencer.

noooooooo! the magnum rocks! blows bits off them all over the place! perk all the way into the handgun and agility to max and some books and damn its fun!

that with parkour jump bonuses, they don't stand a chance!

 
All books and schematics should have a sell value, shall we just reduce the economy to simply selling guns? Its a real pain to lug a single schematic back to sell it.

Agreed. They don't stack and an inventory slot is easily worth 100 dukes out in the field :)

If I'm perked all the way into handguns (which I am in my current game) then I'd rather be rocking a silenced SMG with a 50 round barrel mag of cheap 9mm bullets with the +50% dismemberment chance. I agree the magnum is fun, but no matter which way you spin the barrel it's not going to take down a horde as effectively as that SMG. Even a pistol kitted out properly can be more effective than the magnum unless you're very specifically working to utilize the Magnum's potential piercing properties which would typically necessitate going for torso shots. Plus the magnum can't even be silenced, making it self-conflicting with the stealth skills in Agility.

 
fair point the current 44 mag is a bit anti-agility. wish they would change it from revolver to more of a 44 semi auto hand cannon. 7-8 round mag, able to be silenced. in its current form, belongs more with the loud shotgun category than the stealthy pistol category.

If this is true you may want to do some more deadlifts. The books arent THAT heavy :behindsofa:

 
SUGGESTION: Please, enable the shape selecting screen to close by pressing the same key to open it (by single press of "Reload", holding down is for the entire radial menu). Right now it doesn't do anything once it's opened, we have to press ESC or "Close all windows" key to confirm the shape selection and close the window.

Or maybe shift click or double click for selection and closing. This part of the UX bothers me the most atm, always reaching for that escape key :)

 
Supposedly shift click does close the menu.

That would be a real bummer. I might actually not have tried it

Only wished for. But very welcome news indeed. Ignore my answer then :)

 
Madmole, is it possible to exhaust mid-late game hordes if you kill zombies fast enough or will it always finish at 4 AM?

Btw, please, don't change schematics. It's an extra money I'm using to buy all glue/duct tape available each restock.

 
I haven’t tested it myself but someone else said it worked. If it doesn’t I agree with you that shift click or something similar should select a shape and close the menu.

I think the schematics value is fine. It's worth enough that I dont feel enticed to scrap it or leave it behind. The trade offs feel good.

 
So should a stone shovel have the same melee damage as an iron spear? Because it does. And it shouldn't.

 
Hey Madmole, do you think the Magnum is in a good spot in the game? Even with some Magnum Enforcer books I'm finding it difficult to find it useful over the SMG or even the regular pistol, especially since both ammo types can come in HP and AP forms.

I never had a problem with it. Put 4 on your belt so you don't get caught reloading. If we ever do a higher tier handgun it would probably be the desert Eagle.

I don't think agility necessarily means quiet. It means quick reflexes/nimble/fast moving and the fastest gun in the west was certainly an agile guy but he made lots of noise IMO. Loaded with AP ammo I think its pretty formidable.

true, not anti-agility for sound alone more like anti stealth, but have you ever fired one? it has kick. it is not a one handed run and gun like a 9mm. that thing takes arm str or the kick doesnt allow for quick re-aiming. recoil can be a female dog on spaghetti arms

I for one would love the desert eagle clone tho. reasons for modding I suppose
