Different types of bullets

[kindred abyss]

Will different types of bullets be added to the game? I would like to see at least "Armor-piercing" and "Expansive" ones, conditionally like in STALKER, but without the infinite variety like in Tarkov

This game is not trying to be a tarkov.

Thankfully. Screw that.

In "Future plans" they say this:

New defense system: armor classes and bullet penetration ratings
Whatever it may entail in the end. Be it addition of new types of ammo/armor or just rebalancing/adding the penetration onto existing ones.

Same mistakes as Tarkov with 1/100000 the playerbase speedrun any %

lets gatekeep new players with ammo types and penetration ratings in a game where there are almost no players

As long as we get Dragon's Breath rounds for the shotguns, I am content. Die flowermen, die!

Use flamethrower

[split stone]

What if we could do both?

[forest wasp]

I want both.

Also, huge difference between having 20 rounds of ammo to a whole other weapon.

like i mean those rounds need a gun to shoot them lmao soooo, unless ur sayign u only use shotguns ever

[forest wasp]

How is anything unclear? If you have a shotgun as a secondary, you can shoot regular rounds or fancier ones. A flamer is a completely separate weapon.

[celest pivot]

"If you have a shotgun as a secondary" spunds like we could call that a completely seperate weapon

[forest wasp]

Indeed. Which would make having a THIRD weapon, ie the flamer, very difficult. Do you get the argument now? Or we can just leave it at this, good luck man.

[rustic egret]

Hope not.

Hunt showdowns way of doing it I think is the best we have seen. A bleed round, a higher pen/lowerdamage dropoff round, a magic poison round, and some cool shotgun ones like dragons breath and flares
