#Laperriere Outrider improvements

For a reserve rifle it's an absolute letdown and should have been a massive improvement over the base game Whitlock but performance is exactly the same.

Let's change that:

Change the barrel length to 24"

Slightly lower hip fire accuracy and improve ADS accuracy

Add legitimately new ammunition focused on bigger game. Meaning: one ammunition type based on 150gr polymer tipped bullets that cover classes 3-7. And one other type based on 170gr Jacketed Soft Point bullets that covers classes 4-8.

Improve the expansion of both new and old ammunition

Remove the range restriction for both the Outrider and Whitlock. the render distance is only 450 yards so why are the lever actions the only cartridge rifles with range restrictions ?

#

That's new ammunition designs that we did not get so this image feels extremely deceptive

#

Yes, asking for a rifle that can cover three separate class ranges is a lot, but the shotguns do it.

I'd honestly pay for a dlc that just added new ammunition for the rifles that let them cover different class ranges.

I agree with these changes, but more than anything I am floored with the amount of patience you have. Keep it up.

I'm sure if this kind of change was made then it would build a huge amount of hype and prove the Devs could do more than just recycle ammo

I was severely disappointed when i saw that .30-30 had zero improvements, and i know that just about everyone that uses .30-30 IRL was too.

The Solokhin/Mosin Nagant does 3-7 and that one isn’t even op, that one and 270 are the most balanced weapons in the game imo, not great but good and also uniqe

It's also not a stretch to have all the ammo types exclusive to the Outrider either, you could spin it as the Whitlock has a brass receiver that isn't strong enough to handle the new loads

#

So they'll do an update to release some skins but not to fix a useless RESERVE WEAPON

Yeah there is nothing uniqe about it, and just like the story, sadly, they barely tried. The map is great, other than that, no

It sincerely does need these changes to be a truly unique rifle. There's just nothing to separate it from the old one except scopes and literally every other rifle can do that

Used it on musk deer(c2) ... double lung and 100% quick kill at 112 yards ... Also used it on a boar (c5) at 80 yrds double lung as well but ran about 50 yrds

seems to do the job well enough for c2-c6 It just needs to be extended to c7-c8 ....

when I say seems to do the job well enough .... I mean passing but not desirable or what it should be ... If they increased the ethical lethality to cover c7-8 it would also increase quick kill on c4-6 ...

.30-30 definitely needs a boost .... I think it should be ethical at C8 but not necessarily what you would want to use... very much they way 7mm is with C9 ....

alpine spade
#

A slow killer for class 8 animals but a quick end for everything between 3-7 would be average for a real .30-30. Speaking clearly, my .30-30 does solid work on elk within 200yds and I've taken deer at 250yds that didn't travel more than 10 yards until they piled up.

What we have in game is a terrible imitation of the real thing

the .44 magnum lever action is also kinda broken, bc the handgun ammo is balanced differently than rifle ammo and it didn't translate well with the rifle ballistics system

so you can send a .44 magnum cartridge through the entire body length of a moose from the rear and still hit the heart

but then on the flip side, .30-30 and .45-70 are both painfully weak

Yes I agree these two are pretty weak. But .44 mag out of a rifle is drastically better than out of a handgun. Irl.
More time to burn the powder before it exits the barrel.

They could also add the .444 which is a super long .44 mag, being the same case length as the .45-70, but being slimmer. They do less damage but minor amounts but they are simply increase the range of the .44 mag, to make it effective to about 225 yards

I find it hard to see the range balancing between lever actions and bolt actions etc. Lever actions obivously can reach further irl but irl we can also see much further than in-game (400m) In that way you’d have to balance it so that long range shots aren’t easy, each guns offer a uniqe playstyle. If you have a 30-30 that can reach the same as a bolt action, with the same amount of power, than what’s the motivation for the developers for improving and changing rifles enough for people actually finding it worth to get the weapons. I agree that the new 30-30 should at least be as good as the Sks (Quist in-game) but also not be too similar to other bolt actions, so it has to have shorter range or something other that makes it worth it yk.

ebon sigil
# rocky storm I find it hard to see the range balancing between lever actions and bolt actions...

I disagree. It shouldn’t be balanced on game stats, rather it should be as realistic as possible.
The game is a simulator no? Simulating hunting.
It should come down to preference vs performance.
A .30-30 is the same bullet diameter as a .308 or a .300 (7.62mm) the difference is case size.
The .308 has slightly more power (case size), than a .30-30 but a .300 has a decently bigger case size than the two previous cartridges.
So realistically they all have similar performance, but increasing range .30-30 being the least, .300 win mag being the most.
But this doesn’t just apply to these calibers, all the calibers in game could use an overhaul, and I’m tempted to make a list for the devs, based off of real data, and ballistics.

“Getting weapons” shouldn’t be a monetary gain only… that just makes little sense, especially for the consumers (players). It shouldn’t be P2W

the lever action rifles in-game are unbearably bad (aside from the Moradi, but that's bc of the handgun ammo being balanced differently from rifle ammo and not translating well in the rifle ballistic system).

.30-30 Winchester is reduced to being a "close range varmint cartridge," something it's absolutely not designed for at all irl. It has seen CONSTANT use on medium and large North American game ever since its inception ("The .30-30 has remained in widespread use almost entirely because of reliable effectiveness in civilian applications, and has put food on the table for millions of people in hunting situations")

and .45-70 Government, a cartridge with historic and continued use in hunting large and dangerous game (like bears, moose, elk, cape buffaloes, hippos, etc.), is a husk of its true self in-game, with it being best used on class 4-7 animals instead of being more than capable of quickly and efficiently taking down larger ones

It doesn't matter to me what their reason for this is (european bias, "pushing people to buy DLCs," etc.), it's unbelievably frustrating to see cartridges that are consistent and reliable at hunting medium and large game being pathetic in-game

#

and on top of this, it bugs me even more that the official render of the Laperriere shows it with new cartridge models, yet the in-game .30-30 recieved pretty minimal improvements AND didn't get any new ammo types (more expensive class 3-7 .30-30 ammo that shoots faster, heavier bullets could've even been a selling point for the Askiy Ridge DLC)

# rocky storm Exactly, we need uniqe, fun and realistic options i just have trouble envisionin...

Accuracy, and distance they can travel.
Lever actions or “brush guns” would excel at under 200 meter shots, and be better than most others (not all) at shooting through thick brush. They wouldn’t be limited to 200 meters, but they would see a decent drop at 300 meters, by roughly between 8-14 inches, and a slight drop in power.
(Another good example of poor weapons balance): 6.5 mm is a bit too weak and the wrong classes in game. Should be 3-8 and have a penetration of 26.00 with an expansion of 6-8 using polymer tipped rounds.

ebon sigil
# rocky storm Ok i like it

Like the highest accuracy (.45-70, and .44 mag pretty much the “flat nose” only rounds) would be 75, meanwhile the .30-30, a .35 rem, anything that can use a polymer tip should be an 85.

For context, I've killed whitetails at 250 yards with my .30-30 and it's nothing particularly special as far as ammunition and still using a factory barrel

little plinth
#

Yeah, there's not really a substantial range issue with lever action rifles and their associated cartridges unless you're trying to shoot at really long distances, most typical shooting distances are more than doable with stuff like .30-30 and such

alpine spade
#

Honestly, it's kinda stupid to have a max effective range on any of the ammo. It's not like we're shooting far enough to actually cause issues. (.300 Mag can and has killed at 1200m)

This is a hunting game. The rifles have literally one job, effectively harvest the animal. The rest should be up to us.

Well what should make you choose a lever action in-game then do you think @alpine spade ?

alpine spade
rocky storm
# alpine spade You shouldn't be *made* to choose anything. You should pick the gun you want for...

Yes, i wasn’t talking about being forced to use something, but like what would make me choose a lever action over bolt action. In-game and i imagine irl is range for power, lever action has shorter range but more powerful and on the other hand the bolt actions have a consistent damage output with little change in range. And then theres the reason why i would choose for example the 30.06 over a 308. difference being expansion vs penetration, and then theres difference of the guns (of course those cailbers exist in semi autos and others but i hope you get my point).

You don't hunt do you?

Anyway. You should be choosing the guns you use for the way you like to hunt and the animals you want to take down. Lever actions are generally compact weapons, light weight and quick to fire so they're labeled brush guns. Bolt actions are typically longer, more accurate at long distance but taking longer to line up shots and don't move as well in thick brush.

Take a lever action for fast hunts with chances for follow up shots. If you sight in a .30-30 at 100yards you'll still be hitting a whitetail deer in the lungs between 0 and 300yds. Or 400 if you aim high on the shoulder.

Take a bolt action if you're hunting open terrain with time to line up a shot. Sight a .30-06 at 200 yards and you'll be in a whitetail's lungs between 0 and 400 yards, 600 if you aim at the spine.

Otherwise? Under about 300 yards everything will kill a deer just as dead as everything else. Most caliber arguments are pointless yapping, opinions.

At the distances the vast majority of people can shoot with any accuracy basically any rifle will kill a deer effectively

rocky storm
# alpine spade You don't hunt do you? Anyway. You should be choosing the guns you use for the ...

No i don’t hunt, so what you’re saying is there shouldn’t be alot of difference between the guns in terms of range, just that the lever actions are more compact and easier to use in thick short ranges, if i’ve understood you right. The issue when this comes to the game and for it to be realistic is the ranging, there’s a lot of difficulty in-game when it comes to ranging in animals further away, which is what makes it realistic in that aspect even though there isn’t the right distance for the guns. I’ve understood the render distance is like this in the game for one reason: performance. Making all the guns basically be able to shoot at the same distances isn’t very realistic, and it would mean removing the difficulty by alot unless you have the zeroing perk and i just don’t see that happening. For the guns to be this way they’d have to increase the range of which things render, because it ain’t just animals with a shortened render distance abt everything has that and yeah idk increase the range sure but 300 yards for a lever action is too op in this game

alpine spade
rocky storm
alpine spade
# rocky storm Yeah and i’m not opposed to that, currently there are two dlcs with lever action...

Depends entirely on the caliber and load of ammunition. My .30-30 loads are usually between 24 and 2500fps, factory loads are like 2200fps as standard. A .44 mag is pretty slow at 1700fps or so

.30-06 are like 23-2500fps depending on the maker and bullet weight.

.44 should have way more bullet drop past 100 yards than it does.

But realistically? Every gun in the game shoots way too slowly. Trigger pull to bullet exiting barrel is called lock time, the only guns that have a long enough lock time for an animal to react are flintlock/caplock muzzleloaders ( "jumping the gun" is what this originally meant) basically, it should be instantaneous.

Without special knows they did standard of balance system. Like 99% games with guns and bows. Ordinary arcade hunt with perfect picture and g1s. Everything else is our imagination. Moreover grind doesn't need guns like irl. Grinders need semi-autos and more multimounts. Nothing more. Everyone who plays without grind for a long time will see it. It's a game. Not a real hunt simulator. Don't forget about it.

# alpine spade For a lost of people 200 yards is the farthest they should think about shooting ...

I did long range shooting in the USMC. And honestly I wouldn’t take 5.56 to 500 yards and think it’ll do much. Might put a hole in something. But you’re not transferring a lot of energy at that point.
I don’t find 400+ yard hunting shots reasonable unless it’s a big predator that you want to give time to bleed out. (Bears, etc).

But in the end, they need to buff a bunch of calibers, and increase accuracy for a bunch. I’ll make a whole list eventually.

ESPECIALLY when I’m kind of upset they think 6.5mm does such little damage.
It should be 40 pen, 6 damage.
And given I have a Ruger American in 6.5mm, I have that thing so dialed in, it has less than .25 MOA at 200 yards, ridiculously accurate.

I just wish devs would give a little more research into a game where firearms are a huge part of the experience.
Especially given the fact some of us have years and years of shooting.
I myself have been shooting for the better part of 20 years.
In terms of accuracy though:
bolt actions are typically the most accurate, followed by Lever guns, followed by Semi autos

That is true; that said I would have to redo sighting it in anyways because they needed the gun in factory condition with all accessories removed so I just took the scope off a little while ago. That and also when I went to take it off I noticed that some of the ring screws werent torqued down enough, so that means when I trusted my uncle to torque them down properly he didnt, which might be why it felt damn near impossible to sight in when I was out shooting with my cousin. Coincidentally, his rifle was also shooting very high and never got on paper, and my uncle installed the bases/rings/scope for his gun too which makes me think he has the same issue.

They'll likely refinished or replace the barrel is my bet, since the headspacing could have been screwed by the bolt damage like you said.

I'd honestly have no issue making the .30-30 a 2-7, keeping the Moradi where it's at (3-8), as well as the .45-70 (4-9). Just buff the .45-70 while you're at it.

All the content in the world won’t matter if the game just keeps having the same issues, like the bush sound bug, been around for like a year and everyone frustrates themselves on it, that should be like their main priority. It’s starting to get to the point where they just release new content and hope people focus on that than the current issues the game has. If that’s where it’s headed the game will rapidly die
