SharpShooter: M24, Scope/rail addons

[[GRiM]]

The M24 is a sniper rifle (obviously) that has been made already by the community and is on some servers as a custom weapon. It acts like the LAR only slightly more power to it. The downside, which is mainly how it's balanced is that it's bolt action. I believe that it should be officially added, it's balanced and a good weapon overall for the Sharp Shooter class.

Now my next suggestion is rails and scope that can be bought and applied to weapons in the Sharp Shooter class. Now, I've been around these forums before so I already know the response I'm going to get to this: "NO COD IDEAS" "YOU DON'T NEED A SCOPE ON A RIFLE" ; This is a post for Tripwire to see and determine. First off, who cares if someone wants a rifle with a scope? There's always room for improvement. Secondly, the rails would come with the scope and would be for specific weapons.

ie: LAR's rail with be the hatch on type, M14's would be slide on.

The scope could be about £250-£300 and be sold separately so it can let the player choose their play style. This could bring some diversity to the Sharp Shooter class and let the player choose their play style.

This attachment type buy system could be applied to other classes as well to allow universal styles to each class.

Yeah, this type of system was made popular by COD but it's probably the only good thing that came from COD.

Thanks for reading Tripwire, GRiM

Firstly, it intrigues me that you forsee so much negative reaction to your post that you feel the need to reply to it before it happens. Also, if you're addressing a message to tripwire as opposed to the forum, send a PM or mail.

Secondly, the sharpshooter currently has the largest variety of weapons, and firebug (well, technically the medic, but the medic's role is far more focused) has the fewest. I'd personally like to see some other classes jiggled around a little before the sharpshooter gets their inventory expanded.

Thirdly, I wouldn't mind getting scopes for rifles, BUT tripwire would need to implement much more weaponry config for it to work. IMHO, you should either be able to tweak whichever weapons you want to buy or use, or none. As much as I love sharps, we shouldn't be the only people who can tweak our gear.
And an update like that, changing or altering every weapon would be pretty substantial. I can't see it happening in KF1, maybe for KF2. Although a more complex inventory customisation system doesn't really fit well with KF's quick trader time.

Hey [Grim]

for starters, thank you that you the think the rifle is good enough to be added to the game

have you tried the mutator pack by RO_Sauce that has loads of the weapons with cod style attachments?
the m4 with dual sight is my favourite because it is so unique compared to the other weapons.

i will post the link, when i find it.

Scoped rifle? yes. Attachments? nah.
Just make it into 2 different versions, with and without the scope. Rifle with scope should be marked with a higher price and Sharpshooter weapon, which they will get discount for it. Plain rifle should be a Sharpshooter weapon as well but with a cheaper but static price, allows it to be an effective off perk weapon.

This could bring some diversity to the Sharp Shooter class and let the player choose their play style.

Are we playing the same game? Sharpie is by far most versatile, from a dual pistol spam to long range make every shot count to mid range rape machine.

And every first shot is actuate to the point of being silly, mountain pass, AK or 9mm and you can shoot the snot off a clot at a 1000 paces. If you've got the LAR you are unstoppable at nearly any range.

I don't think a scope could add anything to the game if I think.
