Adding a bolt action would be nice but NOT at the expense of the Lever action.
I hate the crossbow and prefer the lever action. I don't need damage..when I fire into their eye sockets.
So before anything else...learn to use the lever action and stop complaining about replacing it.
Never played the mod so I cant say anything about how the lever action was in the mod versus now so yeh.
Now then..commentary.
I'm all for keeping the Lever Action Rifle to be honest, it just needs to be more of a viable choice. A slight increase in stopping power might do it a good justice. At the most, I'd love to see it have a scope when used with Sharpshooter.
What needs to happen is the Crossbow needs to have a scope only when Sharpshooter class is used.
I half agree and half disagree...
First...the scope of the crossbow only on when used by sharpshooter perk? Fully agree with this.
As for a scope for the lever action? NO! Maybe a red dot..Maybe. I like the accuracy of the lever action just fine, a red dot would hurt the accuracy as at range the dot would encompass the head of the specimen. Leave the crossbow for Really long range (The only thing its good at) and leave the lever action for everything else.
Hmm, maybe the lever action rifle can stay, but they should add a more modern rifle into the game so that the players can enjoy them both.
Modern..*Shrug*. But a bolt action should be added in for..a change while not removing the lever action. Why does everyone want Modern weapons? Modern weapons (For the most part) are all about massive rates of fire centered around small rounds that are able to be controlled in fully automatic or burst fire modes. (Sniper rifles are obvious exceptions). The US Military went from the M1 Garand in .30-06 Springfield to the M14 in .308 NATO to the M16 in 5.56mm NATO. Whats the jist here? The rounds get smaller and the rates of fire get higher. For specimens I would want an OLDER weapon with a larger bullet. Instead of a M16 I would grab at least an M14 or an M1 Garand for the POWER.
In the Scenario of KF..conserving ammo is a core part of the game. Spending 1 round to the head of a Gorefest via a M1 Garand to kill it versus 5 rounds from a M16 is much smarter. Granted I have used American firearms as I am most familiar with those. I am sure there are equivalents in the British military.
The 'Action Rifle' should DEFINITELY stay how it is. Maybe a firepower boost, but that's about it.
They need to ADD another, more powerful rifle that has little ammo, but huge damage to give Sharpshooters a weapon that can actually take down things besides garbage specimens...a powerful enough Bolt Action rifle would work for this...
But making the lever action rifle into an even slower-firing Bolt Action rifle? Even if you upped the damage a bit, the firing speed decrease would be just...ick...the Lever Action is slow enough!
Firepower boost? Meh not really needed if you aim for the head.
Agree with adding another rifle (Bolt Action, Low Ammo, High Power) and definately agree with NOT just switching out the lever action with the bolt action. As for the rate of fire of the lever action....I just carry a Handcannon as a backup when I need to rachet off many rounds very quickly.
that said, i wouldn't object to adding a bolt action rifle such as the enfield, but not at the expense of replacing one of the current weapons with it.
Agree.
Listen...
I have Sharpshooter at 3, to be at 4 shortly. I use the lever action EXCLUSIVELY. I am routinely ranked 1 or 2 on EVERY server I play on. Typically I also have anywhere from a 50 to 100 kill lead over the next following player.
I have a hard time agreeing with anything being done to the Lever action. Id just get more whinning from people in the server cause I would be even deadlier. Maybe yall should just learn how to use the lever action better?
Oh I use a laser 5 button TRACKBALL mouse. So yeh..complain some more..
