Gunslinger perk - Never! Seriously it's to simillar to sharp shooter. We need more unique one.

It seems you haven't read the thread, then.

It is nothing like sharpshooter. Unless you think sharpshooter means spamshooting w/ dual 9mm and dual HC.

If you do, then you're doing it wrong.

C'mon, take your time and read the thread (or at least the very first post). There's even a link on my sig.

Try reading the thread.
But you just said:

This would suggest that Gunslinger would spamshoot w/ dual 9mm and dual HC. If not, SIMOX made a fair point suggesting it's rather similar to Sharpshooter.
EDIT: I'm not against a pistol, class, I just don't want it to be centered around spam. Or on a more personal note, be called Gunslinger :p Surely there's a....better name or something? :confused: If I think of one, I might suggest it.

Wait, there were scopes in revolvers? I thought they had iron sights only.

Me saying sharpshooter is spamshooter does not mean gunslinger is spam-shooting.

Try reading the thread.

So u saying that gunslinger wouldn't be a spamshooter as sharpshooter is?

C'mon, single wielded maybe not (when u can aim), but sharp shooter can do that perfectly. And u mean dual-wielded wouldn't spam when it's nearly impossible to do a headshot?

Agree on one thing. That "Gunslinger" Could shoot normal speed in zed time (or faster than other ppl). Why? Check this guy:

If a revolver is added, I really hope it wouldn't be passed to the Sharpshooter. Hell, I'm still waiting to see the major perk changes where handguns are removed from the perk bonuses. It would be pleasant if the Gunslinger were eventually created and had this thrown onto him.

As for a bolt-action rifle...well, yeah, obviously Sharp territory no matter how you look at it.

"Aim for the head brother!" - Sharpshooter point is to aim for the head, so i don't understand why there should be created another pistol based perk. Just to look cool shooting with dual revolvers?

Now think, would gunslinger look different from other perks? I mean totally different. Cuz all perks in game ain't similar.

Another? Since when pistols are meant to be head-shooting weaponry?

It would be different. Just read the damn thread, cuz I ain't gonna summarize the whole 38 pages to you.

Ohh. So by saying that pistols aren't meant to be head-shooting guns, they are meant to be dual body-shooting spam guns?

Sorry, i don't like this perk idea at all. There's enough rambos on the servers and all we need now is bunch of cowboys?

And still some people don't like it, 62,5% - vote yes, ain't 100%.
(Now u thinking that they didn't read the tread don't u? No. Everything always depends on people. Some like the idea because they like everything new, hell they would even vote for superman perk. Others realize that this would conflict with other perks and would look stupid or wouldn't fit the game.)


It won't be implemented so just forget it. (im just saying)

How very, very pessimistic.

Don't forget the 40% who voted "no" don't represent every single KF player in existence :p I think that there will be a lot of people willing to play this perk. If they don't like it, tough. Just don't play the perk. :)

Love the idea, make it weigh 6 pounds, have an auto-loader, and loads of Recoil and Bang! And you have yourself a wonderfull idea.

Wrong, this idea is most likely to be included instead of any other suggestions in this forum, because its the only suggestion that have over 30 pages. You should read the whole thread btw.

Now you've further proven that you haven't read the thread.

Take your time, read it one page per hour, and you'll notice the gunslinger perk would be FAR from a rambo-enabled perk.

Every single aspect has been taken into account when suggesting the idea. What each role his weapons would play, how an ideal gunslinger would play, and how to balance it out so as to not be too powerful, nor too weak.

If you read the thread, you'd see the gunslinger perk is not about adding a new playstyle, but instead condense every single one into a single player, making him versatile.

His 9mm (single and dual) would be both his backup weapon and his crapcrowd-controller (clots/crawlers/stalkers)

His single HC would be a ranged medium-target killer (husks, bloats, sirens).
His dual HC would be a single target, medium to high DPS.

His revolver would be the long-range, powerful zed "killer" (scrakes, FPs)

Why "killer"? Because it lacks the firepower to do it.

If you read the thread, you'll notice all we've tried it combining versatile and balanced. Why handguns? Because they're the true versatile weaponry - ranging from peashooters to MOAB (mother of all bullets), high RoF and low RoF - while also being backup weaponry, meaning they have severe drawbacks.

One that can handle a revolver is at home using a handgun. This however does not apply to sniper rifles and shotguns, for example. Hence why it's truly versatile, and the only one that makes sense to be truly versatile.
