New Weapon: Barrett M99

[Aze]

Just an important note about the resistance: It's not only HEADshot resistance, but general resistance to the bullet (meaning both against head- and bodyshots). Otherwise you would deal "more" damage to the body since you only have a 1.1 hs-multiplier on the weapon. (0.75*1.1 = 0.825, which is less than 1, and that would be a problem comparing it to a bodyshot dealing x1 damage on the body. Thus requiring the resistance on both head and body )

(The reason why a high headshot resistance works on the Xbow is because it has the 4x hs-multiplier which "compensates" the headshot resistance to not deal less direct damage on a head than to the body. (4*0.35 = 1.4, which is higher than 1, so no problem there))

And I agreed that, with the weight, low ammo amount, high weapon+ammo cost, it seems balanced as a 1 headshot killer of all enemies (cept the Patriarch ofc) for the Sharpie.

This pleases me and this starfish

I'm liking the second version of the crosshairs

Posting on all four thread just saying something unnecessary.

Add the default shotguns wierd recoil thingy with a little extra (it makes you hop backwards a bit ), so players are forced to take a few steps back everytime they shoot while stationary, and become stunned and damage self if shot on the move.

That would be fun. Each time you shoot you have time to reflect about your bad decisions you have made so far. Such as bringing a M99 to a Zombie Apocalpyse where you have to keep runing to survive.

Also how many zeds does it penerate? It should be moar then xbow. Hell it should only count Bloats, Husks and Fleshpounds (and maybe scrakes) to decrease peneration and should go freely through the rest

var() vector KickMomentum;
 
function DoFireEffect()
{
    local Vector StartTrace;
    local Rotator R, Aim;
    Instigator.MakeNoise(1.0);
    // the to-hit trace always starts right in front of the eye
    StartTrace = Instigator.Location + Instigator.EyePosition();
    Aim = AdjustAim(StartTrace, AimError);
 R = rotator(vector(Aim) + VRand()*FRand()*Spread);
    DoTrace(StartTrace, R);

 if (Instigator != none && Instigator.Physics != PHYS_Falling)
  Instigator.AddVelocity(KickMomentum >> Instigator.GetViewRotation());
}
 
defaultproperties
{
     KickMomentum=(X=-85.000000,Z=15.000000)
}

Unreal SDK is alien to me, is that kicking just the player view or the player (pawn?) in the world too?

Looks really good, it could be available as a standard weapon??

First things first .... Let's get it balanced and whitelisted first okay?

@YoYoBatty
Thanks for helping!

so are we seeing this gun anytime soon? Its got me so excited!

 

[Jack-Carver]

Yep in some days. Maybe tomorrow.

When it's released you can check that out. Unfortunately it's not that easy to make everything compatible... However you also can use use Braindead's mutator to add it to the trader.

@Jack-Carver:
Your initial post in this thread with my quote, would you be so kind to change it to the same as you have in this thread? http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=49993

(As those 2 quoted posts i have there are the most balanced ones so far)

Oh good idea!
How would things look if the FP would barely take 2 headshots on Suicidal 1 man?

If i did that the M99 would require 3 headshots to decap/kill already on just 5 or 6-man Suicidal

Sorry, it can't be done. If you want the M99 to 2-headshot on high-number-player Suicidal and HoE, it HAS to one-headshot it on Solo / Duo Suicidal and Hell on Earth

 

[Jack-Carver]

Ok then the FP will have to get changed in some way . Or we need a code which prevents 1 shot fp kills.

You do have in mind though that this only applies for a Level 6 Sharpshooter? Unperked it requires at least 2 headshots on solo suicidal to just decap, you know that right?
