Sneaky Bastards Pistol

[kindred thistle]

I see nothing wrong with this

Very fun

[limpid star]

4-5 second reload??!?!?

[vocal remnant]

much imbalance with the damage(provide a crit multiplier), reload speed, and leg affix

also cringe self upvote

[glacial gazelle]

they’re not just gonna add a gun

the only reason hard light and machete’s pistol are in the game is because they are crossovers

they sure as hell won’t add a modern pistol

[quasi flare]

idk how to balance a weapon

[quasi flare]

what is machete and pistol from

[glacial gazelle]

curse of the dead gods

[quasi flare]

The weapon was kinda inspired by the hitman series.

[vocal remnant]

half life has nothing to do with this

[quasi flare]

my brains on crack today (not actually)

[limpid star]

what

[vocal remnant]

they did a self upvote

[glacial gazelle]

i could tell

[limpid star]

how is that cringe

[glacial gazelle]

and the concept wasn’t that bad
they just would have put it on a bow or smth

[quasi flare]

Imma gonna remake this as a bow

[vocal remnant]

i do not support narcissism because im better than everyone else
maybe i was just on crack as well

[limpid star]

what even was the item concept

oh stealth pistol or something

[vocal remnant]

gun

[quasi flare]

I mostly made it for my sneaky bastard loadout

[limpid star]

i saw 4-5 second reload and 40 base dps and instantly downvoted

[quasi flare]

idk how to balance a weapon

[vocal remnant]

40 base dps is fine so long as the crit is good

[limpid star]

look at existing weapons for reference

[vocal remnant]

just look at blowdart

[limpid star]

the issue is that when something aggros you you lose crits on it forever

[quasi flare]

crits while invisible or against unaware enemies

[vocal remnant]

sadly while invisible is slightly interesting and doesnt work well with dc at its current state

[limpid star]

invisibility is such a mechanic of all time

[quasi flare]

what about predator and the invisiblty affix

[vocal remnant]

you have the amulet, which would encourage waiting(not fun and probably not what the devs wanted)
you have predator(it becomes grenadier aspect)

and also predator is just broken

[limpid star]

predator is 1 mutation

that you would run on every build anyway

and then there are the uhh

the smoke bomb and edecoy

the former of which is dogshit

and the latter of which is bugged

[vocal remnant]

amulet affix when

[limpid star]

holy shit invis items suck

[vocal remnant]

no amulet has 150% damage

or +150%

[limpid star]

oh wow

very consistent

i get that every run!`1!11

[quasi flare]

just not enough good invis items i guess

just wanted something to replace the shield in my loadout

[vocal remnant]

thunder shield

[limpid star]

firebrands throwing knife laser glaive wrenching whip hand hook spartan sandals war javelin boomerang cross alchemic carbine electric whip toothpick seismic strike boys axe throwable objects ice shards throwing axe

[quasi flare]

I'm not sure how those synergize with sneaky bastard

ooh actually maybe throwable objects

[limpid star]

war javelin stuns enemies

[quasi flare]

oh

[limpid star]

half of those help you kill enemies before they even see you

[somber lotus]

Just make it an assassin's bow gun or something...

[limpid star]

throwing axe can hit through certain platforms

[quasi flare]

but i need brutality

[limpid star]

why

just u

se

predator mutation

with any weapon

and win the game 😭

[quasi flare]

assassins dagger plus phaser

[vocal remnant]

just use tflask

[vocal remnant]

invisible affix spotted!!!!!

also use blowgun

[quasi flare]

oh nice

it's like a ranged dagger

[limpid star]

blowgun is the slightly cooler assasins dagger

[quasi flare]

hold up i'll try using it

[quasi flare]

nah i like dagger better

[hallow wing]

They can
Dead cells world had gunpowder so it seems to have logic if they add at least primitive gun like flint pistols and muskets

[glacial gazelle]

it’s not about if they can, because they could
but they’re adverse to it

[deft bolt]

explosives:

[glacial gazelle]

that statement doesn’t mean anything

[deft bolt]

how do you think explosives work

[glacial gazelle]

explosives being in the game has no bearing on actual firearms being added

they always make them into other types of weapons, like the crossbows, sonic carbine, or barrel launcher
any bow really

[thorny tinsel]

Yeah they would add a catapult rather than a gun and I'm happy for it

Guns don't fit the game

[hearty bronze]

There's already several enemies carrying around cannons, I don't think muskets are that crazy

[hallow wing]

Some weapons in game are out of type (like gold thrower)

[glacial gazelle]

money shooter is a sling

[hallow wing]

But its only sling in game

[glacial gazelle]

i don’t get your point though
since it’s not reminiscent of something that would otherwise be a gun

dead cells is at its core a medieval themed game

[hallow wing]

Medieval themed game
Has literal tesla turret
Has cannons (that pirate captains bearing)
Had gunpowder

• Medieval ages had guns
• Dead cells is a bit steampunk themed too

[glacial gazelle]

it spills a little into the colonial period just with the pirates, and things like cannons had already existed in the dark ages
there’s some more advanced machinery but that starts to bleed into magic a little

i didn’t just make the whole thing up about it medieval, the devs have said that
they talked about it when saying that a metroid crossover wouldn’t fit, and why castlevania did

i’m primarily talking about more modern guns
and the devs’ design preference
and this dead suggestion is not a place for a debate

[hallow wing]

Well I didn't said about modern guns, I meant more medieval guns like flint pistols, muskets and something that existed in this time too
