Unfortunately after the very long custom content download time I was too unskilled to be able to survive long enough on solo suicidal with lvl 0 perks to be able to afford the rifle. I'm just gonna take your word for it. A scope with double zoom sounds pretty cool.

Well my server is built around teamwork (unlike any so far that I know of) but if you want, what timezone you in and i'll try get a load of us to go on it at the same time?

Since they add the steampunk musket (bold sniper), we should really have this rifle to compensate the others who don't have the DLC or the others who want a non steam punk of it

And the outrageous price of the M99's ammo

I just went on steam to try this weapon, and it feels really good, and different from the other snipers, and also balanced, the magazine on a sniper, in a game which both snipers that there are, are single shot weapons, kept getting me in trouble, so i had to actually count, and calculate how many shots could i fire before switching to my sidearm / trying to reload, the reload time is fairly long for the 5 shots it offers, without counting the half second or so that it takes to be able to chamber the next round. And it also is fairly powerful, not too much, and really cheap.
I would really love that TWI at least considered adding it to the game.

I'm also experiencing an issue where, if I have this mutator on, obj mode doesn't work.
I spawn with no weapons at all, 0/15 weight, and $125.

Integration! TWI's supposed to love guns, but I'm starting to doubt it if they won't add this beauty.

BD Hunting Rifle has higher both base damage and headshot multiplier (220x2.1) comparing to Musket (180x2), but shoots slower than xbow (1.9s per shot) and requires 4s reload after each 5 bullets.

Musket has much higher fire rate (0.94s per shot), double amount of magazine and 60% fire rate bonus at Sharpshooter level 6, which requires only 0.59s per shot.

Only pros BD Hunting Rifle has comparing to Musket, is a bullet penetration.

yes please add this weapon. the hunting rifle is balanced, looks great, and does indeed have a niche role between many of the high level sharpshooter weapons.

Why this hasn't been added I will never know. A bump out of respect for this gun, TWI staff please add this for christmas! I would pay .99 just to get this one gun in the game officially, and according to steam workshop, at least half of those people who reviewed it would be willing to pay for it, and im sure alot more than that. even if it was only worth $1000 would it be worth it?

Thank you all so very much for your kind words about this gun, you really wouldn't believe how humbling it is.

I have submitted it to TWI but haven't heard anything yet, as the gun may not be up to scratch as far as they are concerned and I can appreciate that, as the IJC stuff is pretty top notch.

I have't had the time this year so far to polish it up as much as I would have liked but who knows what the future may bring?

Again, thank you all :)

TWI helps IJC buff/polish up their content before actually inserting into the game. So hold on. They may just approve it.

you know one thing that might make it more attractive for them is to have other weapons to bundle together with it, to make a pack of some sort. they can charge more. perhaps see if its possible to work with other devs to include sort of a classical kf style pack with high balance so as not to make them OP.

*snort* *points to the entry of the unofficial "OP cult of the forums"*


You are not the first to moan about the neverending war on balance. TWI doesn't listen because most of the time the ideas regarding balancing are ridiculous and over the top.
