New Base game Combo shotgun (12ga and .223(or .22lr/h))

[serene hare]

This is a base game weapon that will be a combo. the gun i used for reference is the Remington International 12 Ga/.223 Over/Under.

this will be a base game weapon, because there isn't a lot of options for people who don't have different dlcs. While this weapon getting added. the .223 will get a buff. first. the bullet drop wont be as noticable, and The .223 FMJ (Full metal jacket) will be only class one, due to the non-expansion. 223 Polymer tip will be class 1-3. and the soft tip will be 2-3. The gun will be able to have one 12ga shotgun shell and one .223 . so two in total

The gun will have 3 different colors. 2 tree types and 1 synthetic. and the scopes being able to be used is the ''Drilling scope''

The Hunter Call of The Wild really needs alot more base game guns, this is for the people who might not be able to afford the dlcs

Class 1-4 is way too unbalanced. Besides, if it’s meant for class 1s it’s gotta be made considerably weaker, so it likely wouldn’t even be viable for classes 3 and 4.
Just buff the .223’s stats and give it the flattest bullet drop in the game and you have a fantastic caliber

[serene hare]

yea thats true. but still the .223 will never be used for deer hunting and that stuff. fixed it now

[rain monolith]

They would have to buff .223 a bit and I’d love it,maybe even add a .22 pump action alongside it

[zealous ember]

Would very much enjoy, but .223 is just too weak, how about .22H or .243?

[serene hare]

yes. but i thought of thats a perfect oppertunity to buff the .223. and its a basegame

[zealous ember]

also the perfect opportunity to bring in a .22lr or .22H to the base game so new players can get the most useful rifle in the game without having to pay for it

[serene hare]

thats true. but then the .223 can be used aswell. the .223 docent. but i understand what u mean

[zealous ember]

the .243 is free, with free ammo, covers class 2-6. pair it with a .22lr/H-12ga combo gun and it covers most maps with just two guns

Honestly, if the base unlock for shotguns was bird shot it would be better all around, layton has jackrabbits and turkeys now, hirsch has rabbits and pheasants, aside from waterfowl. The game does need new RELIABLE shotguns though, in a bad way

[serene hare]

Yea i get what you mean. But we really need som ammo buffs in this game. I feel like 223 needs to go. Polymer 1-3. soft 2-3. 6.5x55 needs to go 3-7 etc. So it would be a perfect time to add that combo shotgun. And buff ammo types ingame

Hahah had to change

[zealous ember]

Fair, i love the idea of one caliber affecting different species, tho i wish it was done by bullet weight rather than soft or polymer tipped

[serene hare]

Yeah ik. But as i said. I want to hunt Capercaillie when they are in the tops of the trees. Then if i shoot the bird with an soft tip (expansion tip) then the bird would blow up. And just… become feathers. But with a whole tip. (Polymer) then the bullet dont expand and dont create such a big hole in the bird. Sorry if my english is bad, im not from a english speaking country

[zealous ember]

No, you got it right, and to be honest, they'd probably do your idea before they'd ever change the bullets descriptions the way i'd like

[serene hare]

Yeah. Cuz birdshot… that dont say much. There is different sizes of the shots. For example. Ptarmigans use size 6-7 (lead). Capercaillie uses 4 (lead). Black grouse 4-5(lead). . So the bigger the shot the bigger the damage. I can send picture.

And same with the normal bullets. Its either polymer tip, or softpoint. Thats it. Nothing else in term of power, brand, projectile, weight. But ofc. Thats hard to figure out and do. So i get that (for the devs)

So if this would happend… we would need a complete remake of the game… or maybe even a sequel

[zealous ember]

I get that they have to work on this stuff, but an update fully focused on ammo improvement would make tons of players extremely happy. They could restrict it to two or three variations per. like for the 12ga they could do birdshot-4,6, and 8 shot, it all technically works but it could be suited to the animal, like turkeys, geese and capercailie could be best taken with 4, grouse and ducks could be taken with 6 shot, then quail and similar sized game, trade raw power for spread

[serene hare]

Yess!! Ik. So this ammo update would be really good for the game (and players)

[zealous ember]

it'd be nice to see more realism in the ballistics on this game, it's arcadey enough to be able to shoot as much game as we want at any time

[serene hare]

Yes. I always run around with. .22lr, .243, .308, And .300. There i have all classes. And it only needs one sight. Thats it… nothing more. And i can have all of them equipped at the same time. I can just run out and shoot everything i see

[lofty berry]

I think a combination gun in .410 and .22LR (or maybe Hornet) would be fun to use and a good way to get those DLC calibers into the base game.

[ember depot]

I think a .222 or .223 FMJ as a class 1 ammo would solve a lot of issues. Almost any caliber with FMJ class one really.

[serene hare]

Yes. I just realized that i have written wrong. I meant FMJ. Not polymer tip. Im from norway… so i didnt know what it was called

[solid shore]

Another cool combo weapon could be a .243/.410 shotgun o/u
