honestly i love the double barrel challenge but there just aint enough guns there , kinda boring once u get over the early game grind

harsh sandal
#

Yeah but that's why it's a challenge

#

Also what you are describing can be said to most runs

abstract sundial
#

roll a 0 and you jus get fucking obliterated by a electro anomaly

radiant sage
#

Roll a 0 lol

harsh sandal
#

Say you have all they gears but your guns dont have good dps and only 2 shot before reloading

#

One mistake and you will be caught with your pant down

round onyx
#

outside of exos and nosorogs you have ap slugs but your biggest challenge is the game's performance deciding to crap the bed in the middle of a fight and trying to aim a double barrel at 20fps kekw

harsh sandal
harsh sandal
#

Hence I always do anything obtain a chimera hunter as soon as possible

round onyx
#

the over and under is stupidly accurate tbh, it's very funny to just snipe bandits with slugs in the camp defense mission by flea market

harsh sandal
#

The side by side one is painful to aim

round onyx
harsh sandal
#

You need chimera hunter do BS anyway

#

And it still has a huge chance that you wont turn off BS before the time running out

hushed pier
#

i hate that gun

harsh sandal
#

You do want to fight exo with AP slug or barikada?

hushed pier
wintry frigate
#

do old saves typically die after updates?

tough prawn
hushed pier
#

an assualt rifle, sniper smg

harsh sandal
#

Obviously chimera hunter is the best gun

hushed pier
#

then u're right

harsh sandal
#

Anyway I still need at least a phantom star to make sure I dont lose my run because I dont make it in time

#

💀

viral marsh
hushed pier
#

why if u have barikida it aint fast enough to clear bs?

harsh sandal
#

Nope

hushed pier
#

how long have ur run been going

#

yesterday mine was 12 hrs

harsh sandal
#

You need to hit most of your shots in the head with no time waste

harsh sandal
viral marsh
#

cuz its just a db

harsh sandal
#

Yeah

hushed pier
#

5 months i been trying for a legit invictus

viral marsh
#

U gotta kill fast with guns which they are infamously slow

hushed pier
#

oflin said it took him like 6 months

harsh sandal
#

In my last BS session, the first 3 enemies had full exo gear

#

So yeah

viral marsh
#

I actually did Inv with dbs

#

its fun but it got repetitive too fast after BS

harsh sandal
#

Do it again then

viral marsh
#

i dont even have the game installed kek

#

but since im here i am thinking about reinstalling

harsh sandal
#

less time doing boring stuffs

viral marsh
#

Its just gamma has so many guns and aks with good animations and not being able to use em kills the fun a bit

harsh sandal
#

Of course

#

But we are talking about challenge runs

#

You have to do what you have to do

viral marsh
#

Yee i know

harsh sandal
viral marsh
#

its not like i hate the challenges but after db only one i prefer warsaw pact or nato only

near estuary
#

my favorite challenge is the "Have fun" run lovepat

#

Ngl mortal sin generator will be a pain in the butt to do

#

With db

#

can't remember the last time I did LTTZ storylines

viral marsh
#

i cant remember the last time i started a game with no invictus challenge

#

casual feels super weird to me now

#

im addicted to 2 life only

harsh sandal
#

I always do invictus

viral marsh
#

cuz if i do casual i kno imma get bored kinda and drop it

#

cuz i'll cheat kek

idle kelp
#

3 lives is too easy, 2 lives is too hard, I am stuck in a conundrum

#

I just keep grinding invictus and one day I will succeed

harsh sandal
#

Just do one life bro smh

harsh sandal
#

I believe

hushed pier
#

i mean if ur invictus try aint streamed why would anyone believe

viral marsh
harsh sandal
#

One life is just asking to lose your run to bug or glitch

viral marsh
#

Ye its not fun , even for invictus addicts like us

harsh sandal
#

Me when I lose my run after stepping on gun on the ground

viral marsh
#

me after dying to a glitched corpse on a ladder

#

especially in miracle machine start and that corpse is a zombie

One of my last BS sessions with db

It's a shame that I got nuked by sins or UNISGs in red forest right after iirc

my dopamine brainrotted brain has me considering lowering artifact condition stats and increasing artifact spawn chance to match because getting like 7 5% artifacts sure beats going to 4 fucking anomaly fields in zaton and coming out with one fucking sandstone

but at that point, I'm probably already starting a new playthrough due to how fucking boring endgame is

#

On a normal playthrough you should swim in electronics in almost no time.

near estuary
#

PDAs help a lot

#

like 40% of my current electronic parts on this playthrough are from them

#

if I had sold them all, I'd have maybe extra 20k

#

which is literally nothing in a game where you can stack kill quests on the same guy

Good Day Folks. Just a random question, been about a year or more since I have done a full playthrough of Gamma. Got a game that has been going for awhile now, and I have been waiting for a couple key guns that I guess are no longer in the game.

Their use to be a Saige 12 "Nerd" and the Fenix Submachine Gun. Wondering if they were taken out of gamma

are all weapons in weapon spreadsheet exist in the current version of modpack?

where do you actually get a vector?
literally never seen it before

ive once gotten one

its just a rare drop

#

nato faction master or legend can spawn with it

or unisg veteran and expert too

#

they made it so the House of Horrors zombie is killed based off the amount of shots it receives (which scales depending of difficulty and weapon iirc)

I think you gain access to it after reaching Tier 2 or Tier 3

oh sangres

what about the moon date

You need to find a Legendary Pistol for it

It's a P220 iirc

huh

i have a clip of it hold on

sick yoke
#

well i can probably just buy it from funny army warehouse man so not a big deal

#

also wtf is this

sick yoke
#

oh that's it?

celest sparrow
#

It's this pistol and has a small % chance for it to proc on kill
which you then have to head to the Swamps in an area marked by your PDA

you can go there whenever you want but it has to be night time

all you really need is the pistol tbh

oh i think i fucked up the spare the nft grifter achievement

#

i have to dialogue with them don't i

celest sparrow

I honestly don't remember how I got it

I think you only need to not kill anyone

Fellas, anybody else having weird binocular sens? I'm having an issue where when I zoom in with binoculars, my mouse sensitivity becomes super fast. When I zoom back out and just have them in my hand, the sensitivity stays high until I swap items. Has anyone else experienced this and have a fix? I'm doing accidental 360s.

because it is a natural response to panic and hold down M1 when the unexpected appears

i get in this situation a solid 9/10 times so i dont think its super far from possible

I haven't found the cause, but I found a solution to the binocular sensitivity bug. When the bug occurs, your mouse sens gets reset to default of .71. While the bug is active, go into your sensitivity settings, set sens to your normal value, then apply. This fix seems to survive loading saves and changing maps. Works on launching game, as well as starting new game.

idk if you fixed it yourself yet, but I haven't seen another solution on this server and I'm replying so that anybody searching will find this.

we found him, the man who loves the worst ammo more than anyone else

lyric tide

The worst?

#

How can you say that

blissful ivy
#

i hate 12.7

#

such a shitter when 7.62x54 is RIGHT THERE

#

and cheaper

lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

counterpoint, KS-23

#

actually useful too

#

so yeah, better

lyric tide
#

If you're gonna cheese the entire game with a shotgun you're missing out lul

blissful ivy
#

i think 12.7 sucks, especially the VSSK

#

that thing is particularly shit

#

i dont mind the ash-12 so much, its at least useable

#

and the rsh is fun, and the only one i properly like

lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

but damn is 12.7 so much worse than just using assault rifles

#

its just not that good when its outperformed by 5.56 and 5.45 AP

#

and those rounds are cheaper

#

with less recoil

#

more range

#

better optics usually too

#

and grenade launchers

lyric tide
#

Have you considered throwing grenades as an alternative

blissful ivy

its rigged against 12.7

is there a faq or manual for companions somewhere? I've been avoiding having em like the plague, but i really want to learn how to use em, i've seen them be extremely valuable in firefights and mutant hunting the few times i've been forced to escort someone and they've participated

blissful ivy

yeah, im not so sure about that one

blissful ivy

and then select what you want

lyric tide
blissful ivy

the ammo parts are just outright cheaper and more common

Yeah, but can i give guns to companions? Can i make my companions wear better armor, does armor condition and weapon condition matter for companions, do companions need bullets for guns you've given them?

its my playstyle

im talking 2k kills in like 20 days

severe wren
#

That kind of stuff, cause if i need to start worrying about companion equipment condition, then forget about it

lyric tide
#

But i shoot less to kill my targets

blissful ivy
#

and the condition doesnt matter for armor if you enable DNPCAV

but the weapon seems to matter

#

low condition = more jams

lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

1 to the head

lyric tide
#

HP rounds and Frag rounds

#

I'd be all over that

blissful ivy
#

frag rounds are a thing

#

but i think theyre overpriced for how they are

#

theyre not that good for what they should be

lyric tide
#

Im sure theres some use in them

#

Is that old save compatible?

blissful ivy
#

its compatible in all saves

#

it just adds items

#

it cant be uninstalled mid save tho

lyric tide
#

Thats fine as long as i dont see someone full-autoing me with RPGs

blissful ivy
#

i just believe 12.7 isnt that good in its current state

blissful ivy
#

they reload rpgs so much faster than they should

#

so when you do see them, they manage to shoot them faster than humanly possible

#

not a big deal usually, since theyre a prio target, so they should be dead before they see you/you should use cover anyway

lyric tide
#

tru

#

fuckin hell that must have been over 70 monolithians i killed on No step back just now

its sub sonic

specially made to be

there's no bullet in the game that's actually subsonic, unfun fact

but it's still super slow

#

not as bad as .45

dusk vessel
#

well yeah

lethal steeple
#

but terrible speed

dusk vessel
#

mp5sd is supposed to be sub sonic

lethal steeple
#

what's important about it is that 12.7 has hilarious scaling

dusk vessel
#

the way the gas system works in the gun is that even when firing supersonic ammo it will be sub sonic effectively

#

but its gamma not irl

lyric tide
#

ffs i hate how enemies keep camping in the bushes in limansk lmao

lethal steeple
#

it's just beyooooooooond ass

#

it's like 40m out and you've already lost like 50% damage

using cover is not difficult

  2. mash open inventory
  3. shoot the single file platoon of mobs

there is a few exceptions to this

lyric tide
dusk vessel
#

like a .338 lapua or a mark 2 98k forester (mid game)

dusk vessel
#

plant a few IED on proximity

lethal steeple
#

lapua isn't exactly outclassed because it's meant to be better than the franchise's bfg but are you really going to spend a fortune on one bullet that's also heavy as all shit

dusk vessel
#

aggro enemies and wait

lethal steeple
#

when you could just hit a guy 3 times with an smg

that cycles at 900rpm

lapua being better than the gauss is something that will never be not infuriating

dusk vessel
#

even mid range ill prefer the mp5

#

lapua is an oversized 308 is it not

blissful ivy
#

no its not

#

thats .338 federal

dusk vessel
#

ah

#

mixed them up

blissful ivy
#

which is just a necked up .308

grave pivot
lethal steeple
#

lapua is 8.6xsomething

blissful ivy
#

.338 is 8.6x70

dusk vessel
#

yeah

blissful ivy
#

lapua that is

dusk vessel
#

big round

grave pivot
#

that house chokepoint, just place a wall at one of the doorways

blissful ivy
#

no idea what norma mag is, but thats irrelevant

grave pivot
#

or plant an IED

lethal steeple
#

but still like even gun retards know velocity is king

dusk vessel
#

lapua being as strong as it is makes sense

#

but gauss felt really weak

lethal steeple
#

the gauss fires a projectile that travels at 1/15th the speed of fucking light

blissful ivy
dusk vessel
lyric tide
dusk vessel
#

small projectile moving really fast

near estuary
#

Is that gun autism I hear

blissful ivy
#

the gauss should just 1 shot to the torso/head imo

#

but that might be a bad take

lethal steeple
#

how dude it's the franchise's bfg

dusk vessel
#

considering you get it for free during the story

lethal steeple
#

its ammo is obtained at one (1) vendor only

dusk vessel
#

might not be a good idea to make it op

blissful ivy
lethal steeple
#

that's in the literal corner of the map

blissful ivy
#

theres always a reason we cant have fun shit

lyric tide
blissful ivy
blissful ivy
lethal steeple
#

as opposed to lapua being sold everywhere

lyric tide
#

It does one thing and one thing only good
Penetrate things

lethal steeple
#

and being cheaper to craft

blissful ivy
#

not a joke thats used one time to kill one guy

#

and its not even needed

lyric tide
#

But its a tiny projectile, its like shooting somebody with a needle essentially

#

So the effects are limited

lethal steeple
#

it's 10mm

blissful ivy
#

at least if eidolon had immunity to all but gauss, it would make it useful for SOMETHING

lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

but nah you can literally kill eidolon via magdumping 9x18

#

if you wanted

near estuary
lyric tide
#

Realistically speaking

grave pivot
# lethal steeple and being cheaper to craft

explosives are more fun ngl, The only time i use a Gauss rifle is agaisnt Eidolon and during the Living Legend questline when i have to go through CNPP. Besides that the gun just collects dust in the Locker of my stash

lethal steeple
#

so extrapolate that to lapua

dusk vessel
blissful ivy
#

i mean, a 10mm hole through you would still be bad

#

btw

lethal steeple
#

dude

dusk vessel
#

especially on that kind of velocity

lethal steeple
#

you know

dusk vessel
#

was it 10000m/s?

near estuary
lethal steeple
#

it's the keyhole wound channel copypasta

blissful ivy
#

so like, chances are you would still be dead as fuck

lethal steeple
#

playing out by itself

#

that's crazy

dusk vessel
#

make gauss oneshot helicopters

lethal steeple
#

i never thought this moment would happen

dusk vessel
#

lore accurate

lyric tide
lyric tide
grave pivot
blissful ivy
#

make the fucking gauss triangle shaped so that the lore is that it cant be stitched up because triangle wound, then the tards would be happy

near estuary
grave pivot
#

i do want to have an RPG on my hands someday, I never got one during the Barrier raids

blissful ivy
dusk vessel
blissful ivy
#

i particularly dont

dusk vessel
#

they got hit by both anomalies and the gauss

blissful ivy
#

we are past that

#

we are talking about gauss and its impotency now

lyric tide
dusk vessel
#

like, one helicopter when you inspect it says it got hit i remember

#

others got destroyed by anomalies

lethal steeple
#

or how the gauss deals less than 1% damage to a pseudogiant on its weakspot

near estuary
lethal steeple
#

fantastic game design on gbo

lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

i mean ok, the gauss can be bad on mutants sure, but why the fuck is it still mediocre on stalkers

lyric tide
#

Like, literally both engines

blissful ivy
#

the thing its MEANT TO KILL

lyric tide
lethal steeple
#

not really

blissful ivy
#

its made to kill people

near estuary
blissful ivy
#

its not for hunting deer mate

dusk vessel
#

when do we get to wield the giant gauss found in the lab

blissful ivy
lethal steeple
#

the giant one in the firing range is the prototype

dusk vessel
#

watch it still take 2 shots to kill a mono

blissful ivy
#

the handheld one is the completed product

hollow wadi
#

Raise the damage when grok_bo.script says "lol"

lethal steeple
#

you could argue the item n62 is also a prototype of the shoulder fired version

lyric tide
#

For all we know this thing might have been designed with shooting flies in mind for all we know, some mad scientist really having it out for mosquitoes but being unable to hit them, like a super fast bug-a-salt

lethal steeple
#

but the gauss is essentially mass manufactured by the time anomaly takes place

#

in soc you already see a lot of mobs using it

blissful ivy
#

yeah the gauss rifle is meant to be a completed product

#

as of now

hollow wadi
#

Costs as little as 800 rubles

blissful ivy
#

its the first of its type to be mass produced sure

#

but its still completed

lyric tide
blissful ivy
hollow wadi
lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

anyways, i just think the gauss needs a buff in the future to properly compete with .338

#

and/or outperform

#

it should outperform

#

considering its purpose in lore/universe

dusk vessel
#

it should outperform

lyric tide
#

I think monolithians in the late game should be using a ton of protection artifacts and the gauss rifle should counter that

blissful ivy
#

it is supposed to punch holes in tank armor or something

blissful ivy
#

start

#

we dont need more sin-like enemies

dusk vessel
#

even lapua could punch a hole in a light tanks armour

#

like an IFV

blissful ivy
dusk vessel
#

IFV are still tanks

#

but have thin armour

#

just enough to stop common rifle rounds

blissful ivy
#

i mean, the bradley IFV can stop 14.5mm

#

so like, not really

dusk vessel
#

that one is a bit beefier

blissful ivy
dusk vessel
#

there is many kinds

lyric tide
near estuary
lyric tide
#

But i think the Gauss rifle would penetrate atleast 80mm

dusk vessel
#

still tanks, even if lightly armoured

blissful ivy
#

even the BMP can take a 12.7 to the front, and can stop 12.7 in the side armor from distances past 100m reliably

lyric tide
#

In its handheld form

blissful ivy
#

so i dont think .338 is penetrating any tank

#

whatsoever

near estuary
blissful ivy
#

the gauss definitely can

#

its shooting a metal spike at mach fuck

lyric tide
dusk vessel
#

it isnt

blissful ivy
#

its light anti material actually

#

more like cinderblock walls

#

not tanks

lyric tide
blissful ivy
dusk vessel
blissful ivy
#

when spike better

dusk vessel
#

judge for yourself

#

its not going through much

blissful ivy
#

modern tanks arent just steel anymore

dusk vessel
#

composites i know

blissful ivy
#

but i suppose

dusk vessel
#

ap .50 bmg can def go through a bmp

#

especially an older one

celest sparrow
#

my dick be anti-tank with how thicc your momma is him

lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

i said standard

#

and yeah, .338 isnt .50BMG either

dusk vessel
#

i know

#

i didnt disagree with what you said

#

just said ap will make it

blissful ivy
#

gauss is anti tank, .50 AP is anti armor too

#

just not proper tanks

celest sparrow
blissful ivy
#

just IFVs/APCs

dusk vessel
#

M2 browning was used against tanks since it was made

blissful ivy
#

with success on light tanks, i know

near estuary
blissful ivy
#

with mixed results on medium and heavy tanks

dusk vessel
#

anyway gauss needs a buff

lyric tide
#

The thing is, you would be penetrating tanks with the Gauss rifle, IFVs especially, but then you'd have to know where to aim exactly as the damage would be minimal

blissful ivy
#

mostly effective on weak points of medium tanks, and on light armor

dusk vessel
#

because of fragmented armour pieces flying inside the tank

near estuary
dusk vessel
#

could be enough to wipe anyone living inside

blissful ivy
#

i mean yeah, all that metal armor has to be sent somewhere

lyric tide
dusk vessel
#

it does

blissful ivy
dusk vessel
#

and speed

lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

thats relatively heavy as is

blissful ivy
lyric tide
#

balls

near estuary
#

spike your balls

dusk vessel
#

modern sabotated tank darts arent very large projectiles

blissful ivy
#

not a single serious railcannon uses a fucking ball

dusk vessel
#

but they fragment the armour so much a single shot takes out a crew

lyric tide
#

Whats a 10mm spiked ballbearing gonna weigh

#

Lets say 10x40mm

blissful ivy
lyric tide
#

Maybe 20 grams?

lyric tide
dusk vessel
blissful ivy
#

i meant tank darts

#

so 120mm

#

not ww2 tank cannon size

dusk vessel
#

they didnt have apfsds in ww2 lol

blissful ivy
#

no one really uses 76mm

#

at all

dusk vessel
#

20mm apfsds exists too

blissful ivy
#

20mm yeah

dusk vessel
#

30mm too

#

russians use those

blissful ivy
#

because IFVs use autocannons in 20 and 30mm

dusk vessel
#

those can do a lot in terms of pen

#

far more than any other round of the calibre

#

and they arent that large

blissful ivy
#

yeah they can tank out tanks with efficiency

lethal steeple
lyric tide
blissful ivy
lethal steeple
#

the 10mm thing comes from a sticker on the mag

blissful ivy
#

hes saying its apparently ball bearings

near estuary
blissful ivy
#

which just doesnt make sense, since thats not aerodynamic

lethal steeple
#

it's 2mm in one of the games

#

idk which

blissful ivy
#

so its illogical to assume ball bearings

dusk vessel
#

its not even consistent across games isnt it

blissful ivy
#

probably a tungsten dart or smth

blissful ivy
#

its not

dusk vessel
#

its a fictional rifle and being weaker than lapua doesent really add up

#

thats the tldr of this

lyric tide
lethal steeple
#

gemini

dusk vessel
#

ai overview billysleep

lethal steeple
#

shoot a gauss into your stomach

blissful ivy
#

true

lyric tide
#

Hey look it atleast references game files

#

Unlike y'all

lethal steeple
#

no game files describe it as 2.54mm

blissful ivy
lyric tide
#

Pulling 10mm out yer asses

blissful ivy
#

you fucking clown

#

its still gemini

#

and its still stalker

#

which is notoriously inconsistent

hushed pier
#

Today shall be the day i complete this accursed challenge

lyric tide
hollow wadi
blissful ivy
#

inconsistent

#

stalker being stalker

dusk vessel
#

its not even the size of the projectile

blissful ivy
#

the people who made it werent even sure

lyric tide
dusk vessel
#

wasnt the whole point being it going extremely fast

hollow wadi
#

Much like X10 is the same as X19 because GSC couldn't decide

dusk vessel
#

if something tiny goes fast enough it will still cause extreme damage

blissful ivy
#

i mean the shock of something ripping through you at like 1/16th light speed or whatever would prolly kill you

dusk vessel
#

5,56x45 is the best example that we have of this

lethal steeple
#

nuh uh!!!!!! overpenetration is a thing and the wound channel will keyhole itself!!!!!!!

#

that's how it works

#

meteorite strikes be damned

dusk vessel
#

5.56 dumps a lot of energy as it hits

blissful ivy
#

like are we seriously saying that the high velocity is gonna make it less lethal?

lethal steeple
#

that shit would go straight through the fucking earth

severe wren
#

So, how does the meat rotting mechanic actually work? If i say, have accidentally left a pile of 18 dogmeat in garbage, and it's now 2 hours from rotting, does that mean that the ENTIRE stack will 'rot' 2 hours from now, or only one of the 18, and then the stack becomes 17 and the next one starts to rot?

dusk vessel
#

overpenetration is a complete myth

#

only exists for tank APHE rounds where the armour is too thin to trigger the explosive

lyric tide
dusk vessel
#

thats it

lethal steeple
dusk vessel
#

overpen is the most retarded thing ever

severe wren
hollow wadi
blissful ivy
#

i mean if the gauss was for instance going 1/16th light speed, its still 18737028.6111 meters per second

#

im pretty sure something moving that fast would really hurt

lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

18.7 million m/s vs human

#

probably dying

severe wren
#

Alright, so i'll need two fridges then, for meat thats about to rot, and for meat thats still good for a long time

dusk vessel
#

high velocity rounds dump their energy and create an expansion on entry

celest sparrow
#

...just put all of the fucking meat in one fridge?

lethal steeple
blissful ivy
#

just put it all in the damn fridge

blissful ivy
dusk vessel
lyric tide
#

But you could experiment and tell us about it

dusk vessel
#

thats the whole point of hollowpoints, more expansion on impact

#

higher velocity has the same effect

#

just for different reason

lethal steeple
#

lmfao i got it wrong it was actually 300000km/s oop

lyric tide
#

did gemini tell you that

blissful ivy
#

i thought that was really low

lethal steeple
#

yeah like writing it as km/s made me think

blissful ivy
#

you had me tweakin

dusk vessel
#

please god just make ai collapse so the brainrot can stop

lethal steeple
#

wait a second 300km/s is super small

blissful ivy
#

i was like "Am i stupid"

blissful ivy
#

i mean i am

#

but like, i was just making sure i knew how to use a calculator

#

which i do

#

because i was right for once

hollow wadi
blissful ivy
hollow wadi
#

This is why Momo went into IT and not physics

lethal steeple
#

so it's 1/20000th the speed of light

#

but that's still

#

magnitudes and magnitudes

#

faster than anything else

lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

my point is just that thats a lotta m/s

lethal steeple
#

the fastest bullet in the game goes at like 8% of the gauss' bullet speed

dusk vessel
#

would be nice of velocity had an impact on damage in gamma

blissful ivy
#

and thats a lotta shock to the body

dusk vessel
#

and wasnt just bullet speed

lethal steeple
#

yeah point remains

dusk vessel
lethal steeple
#

that's the thing

blissful ivy
#

so thats a lotta death

#

so i mean the gauss is the wonder weapon

#

it should be the stalker games ray gun

#

basically

#

not a glorified laser gun

#

should just decimate stalkers and shit

lyric tide
#

have you considered explosive weaponry

blissful ivy
lyric tide
blissful ivy
#

the point is the gauss sucking ass

lethal steeple
#

yes everyone has already but explosives don't play with gbo rules

dusk vessel
lethal steeple
#

that's why they feel so broken in gamma

dusk vessel
#

its 402m/s

blissful ivy
#

thats why a single grenade can one shot literally anyone

lethal steeple
#

it's just because they don't get to go through any of gbo's dogshit ass design

lyric tide
#

How bout ya muzzle this velocity
Okay that was bad

dusk vessel
lethal steeple
blissful ivy
#

nothing is subsonic

#

:(

dusk vessel
#

just the bottom part doesent

blissful ivy
#

what bottom part

#

oh that, yeah thats fucked

lethal steeple
#

defensives also don't work

lyric tide
lethal steeple
#

because math got changed

blissful ivy
#

i learned the hard way its brokey

#

i used it, and its just wrong now

dusk vessel
#

im using it for gun stats mostly

#

not armour

blissful ivy
#

as simple as that

#

same as how theres no guns being sold in gamma

dusk vessel
#

9x39 is also sub sonic nature

blissful ivy
#

just gameplay

dusk vessel
#

also supersonic ingame

lethal steeple
#

9x39 is usually above 500ms in game

dusk vessel
#

crazy

#

its supposed to be below 340

#

same as mp5sd

lethal steeple
#

same as .45

blissful ivy
#

same as all subsonic things

dusk vessel
#

i guess for gameplay its better..?

lethal steeple
#

yeah

blissful ivy
#

obviously

#

i mean yeah

acoustic delta
#

What is max range stat doing? Is the bullet just dropping fast after that limit?

blissful ivy
#

its gameplay

graceful quiver
#

Realistic Gamba wen

blissful ivy
#

max range is nothing

lethal steeple
blissful ivy
#

since its flavor text

lethal steeple
#

it's extremely far off

blissful ivy
#

since range past 360 dont matter
