Media Update - Ithaca Pistol Grip

[Yoshiro]

Hello everyone! We are back with another media update for Rising Storm 2: Vietnam. Today we want to highlight a pistol grip variation of the Ithaca shotgun in addition to a new location that is being worked on (this map has yet to be officially named). Nestled between some mountains, this quiet jungle valley is about to heat up!


As always, remember that what you are about to see is a Work In Progress: (Also, we know Ithaca is misspelled in the webm.)





As an additional reminder we won’t have anything up for the week of Gamescom but are prepping for some big news before we go to PAX West! Expect to see more of this valley and what action it can hold for players soon!.

yeah double tap that poor guys,...just to make sure.

the RS2 website in also nice,some great info.

When you shoot at a dead body will the body react to the shots, will it move ?
It doesn't seem to be the case in the video, so i guess not, huh ?

 

[PoisonStrudel]

Can't wait to keep one handy for close encounters

 

[Beskar Mando]

Looks nice.

Two questions:
1) Is this small blood spot all gore game has or this particalut build stil has bugs in blood reflection?
2) Are these white phosphorous arty shells exploading at the end of the video?

1) No, as we saw in the M79 video there is a bug with shotguns and blood spray effects that we are working on.
2) Indeed they are.

Game is looking real ****ing nice. Good ****

Thank you. Another quick question - can firearms destroy small objects like that fence behind VCs? If I remember correct in RO2 on maps like Spartanovka you could destroy the fences.

The game looks more beautiful than I thought and that shotgun is a hell of a gun.
​​I certainly don't wanna face it during a battle, or I might get my head blown like a melon.

It's possible, but it's up the their level designers, and if they revamp the destruction replication, if I remember correctly it's 300ish or more such objects will start to effect the server and game play, performance wise.

I'm liking the the inclusion of weapon variants. Is there any difference, stats wise, between the buttstock variant and pistol grip variant of the Ithaca 37?

I hope the PPsh-41 will have the K50-M variant.

Yes, a little. The "Stakeout" version you're seeing above is lighter and shorter (doesn't collide against walls as easily while you're aiming), but has more recoil and no bayonet by comparison to the Trench Gun version. Instead it has a tighter freeaim box and when it ironsights, you'll notice that it doesn't go all the way to the eye, it's slightly offset. Any of our weapons that have either no stock or a folded stock (pistols excepted) use this offset position for aiming, which is essentially a close quarters mode with better visibility and greater ease of quick aiming adjustments while not being quite as precise. Stuff like spread and damage per pellet are the same though - it's the same shells fired out an identical barrel, so there'd not be any real difference.

Basically this version is meant for use at very close range, in trenches and tunnels or thick folliage, where the trenchgun's extra length is a drawback. Try to use this at any longer range than that though and good luck hitting anything. That's what the Trench Gun is for. There's a third variant too, which is different again, but you'll see it when you see it.

 

[Laggy]

Are the effective ranges of the shotguns similar to the trench gun in Rising Storm 1? Something along the lines of <50m very likely chance of something dying and >50m some pedigree of luck in "rolling" the spread?

 

[PsYcH0_Ch!cKeN]

For the Ithaca in this thread and its trench gun sibling, yes. However I can't necessarily say the same of all our shotguns. The M79's buckshot round has a whole lot more spread, but it also has 20 pellets, so I'm not entirely sure where its lethal range ends. On the other hand, the 30" IZH43 keeps a tighter shot pattern out further, so it's quite effective beyond 50m.

BTW which semi auto shotgun VC get? MC 21-12 or some trophy?

 

[PsYcH0_Ch!cKeN]

They only get double barrelled shotguns, however they have the option of using rifled slugs rather than buckshot, something we trialled for the US but then removed for practicality's sake.

Hi all!

Nice update and nice job explaining some details!

On the rs2vietnam website i saw that 'enter email for beta' signup stuff at the bottom. I signed up anyway but could you shed some light on what exactly should we expect, if we sign up. Sorry if it's been explained somewhere earlier.

 

[NorthDumpling]

I can assume , that VC will not ever get semi-auto shotguns, otherwise its overweight in balance.
Whats to the testing, I very hope NDA will not be dropped till release.
Everyone likes suprises, isnt it?
