I found a new weapon hidden within the game files...

[YoYoBatty]

I was exploring the KFMod classes today and found some lines in the KFMonster.uc relating to a Zed Control Device! I even found this hiding in the KFMod.int file:

[ZCDAmmo]
ItemName="ZCD Ammo"
[ZCDPickup]
ItemName="ZCD"
PickupMessage="You got the ZCD"
[ZedControlDevice]
Description="An advanced tactical assault rifle. Fires in semi or full auto great power and accuracy."
ItemName="ZCD"

I couldn't find anything related to this in the KFMod folder even after searching through the KFMod.u, nothing! Being a curious modder myself I will take the time in recreating this weapon for the community when I have time

I noticed the ZED Control Device months ago, doubt it's anything new.
Would be pretty funny to see ingame though.

Yeah same here but I didn't really bother to take any interest in it.

Does it look anything like a Bren Gun?

It doesn't have a model, texture, sound or even a trace of it's classes file! No it does not.

I'm guessing it's something you shoot at a Zed and it causes ti to attack it's own kind. Sounds nifty, would probably go to some sort of Intelligence class. one that has sticky cameras and a PDA to view what they see, alt fire would probably explode the camera, and primary would shift between other cameras. OR some sort of Hologram of the map your on that shows your teams locations and mobs of Zeds that are +7 or greater in group size.

Wait did i just reveal what i've been planning? ooops. Oh well.

 

[Yomommassis]

this was reported a long time ago with the last big content update
there was even a model in the SDK but it was just a cube with no texture or anything

I've got your ZED Control Device right here.

*chambers a round in the SCAR*

I'm surprised no one thought SCAR when they read "An advanced tactical assault rifle. Fires in semi or full auto great power and accuracy."

The rest of us hadn't looked at this thread yet.

That sounds like a big placeholder for something else, or maybe something left behind when they were working on the weapons. I would put no weight on what it might imply for future developments.

 

[C_Gibby]

My guess is that's it's a high-tech fictional gun for the commando.

Hopefully, a futuristic bren gun.

}
}
else
{
NumZCDHits=0;
}
bZedUnderControl = bNewMindControlled;
}
 
// Getter for the Original groundspeed of the zed (adjusted for difficulty, etc)
simulated function float GetOriginalGroundSpeed()
{

return OriginalGroundSpeed * 1.25;
}
else
{
return OriginalGroundSpeed;
}
}

Makes ZED's a bit better I guess?

 

[Uk1t4k3]

Lol taking control of a zed and boost health and speed...

 

[Sammers]

Actually. The ZED control device is ME!

 

[Yomommassis]

In Soviet Russia ZED control you!

If you look in the animations browser under the class KF_Weapons2_Trip and click the load entire package button (located the right of the save button) you will see a mesh in the menu called ZCD_Trip. It has no mesh but it has working animations that can be seen if you select another weapon mesh and then select ZCD_anim. It appears to have a charging animation and based off the way it is "held" it appears to be a rather large gun. PS: Yomommassis found this for me
