Post update gunplay

[analog mulch]

So far so good with the update, but the gunplay got really degraded. The 5.56 needs two head shots to kill a naked zombie. .308 doesn't pen. .357 also doesn't kill in one headshot. I don't think it is a step in the right direction, which is unfortunate because everything else is.

Weren't there old gun threads here? They were pretty good. Removing ballistic and gun damage perks, tighten up gunplay and gun animation. I think you guys already know what kind of gun realism is appropriate for this game. Please move onto that road.

Headshots should be a ohk no matter what, maybe make weapon sway effected by how low your health is to add some difficulty? With seemingly less ammo and less ability to carry ammo I agree the gun nerf wasn’t a great idea overall

I mean with the already existing progressive gore, they could add a 2 to 5% chance for any headshot not to kill a naked head zombie but rather blow away a chunk of their head. This was the case in the first game's realism mode. Very rarely even a .308 would not drop a zombie with a headshot. This update got me excited but the gunplay becomes a huge let down.

Maybe have the riot/soldier/construction zombies not be a one tap headshot. That way they retain their opposing nature

They already have the helmet, but yeah, special infected needing two headshots, I am ok. Except when it comes to rifle rounds, they should always be ohk.

[patent tundra]

I agree with that as it lets the rifles have an advantage over small caliber guns

It feels really weird when your AR15 doesn't give a melon sized exit wound on a point blank headshot. Just saying.

I have to say the shotguns feel much better than before. Much much better. 1911 also fixed to fire at a decent rate.

But non-shotgun guns became bad after this update XD haha.

The pistols benefited the most from a shove and headshot when the zombie was staggered. Now the shove not being present makes them more difficult to use

Also, we need fire selector in next patch.... the M7 and MP5 eat too much ammo.

Im a tap guy and they still spit out two rounds half the time.

I think if we want headshots to one hit ko we need a brain hitbox. a zombie should be (and has an animation for already) able to survive its jaw being blown off

[analog mulch]

That would be the best case scenario and brings the most satisfaction.

I don't know which zombies you tested the 357 cartridges on, but they died with a single hit in the forehead, except for the kevlar covered ones

firearms feel pretty good to me, but I think that the blunt melee weapon damage should be buffed a little, and the amount of zombies spawn should be decreased a little too
