No that wasn't just wonky rag doll physics, big weapons like the AMR and shotguns will have knockdown.

Ok, fantastic~
also I read in a newer article (That really wasnt that good...) a guy saw a laser sight mod in the inventory, anyone think it's the same scope that the laser rifle had in the gameplay trailer?

I don't think so, I think that is sight FOR a laser, rather than the "laser sight mod", which is a sight that is itself a laser. I remember hearing a long time ago that the minigun would have mods like a high speed motor and a laser sight, so if I had to guess that mod would probably go to big guns, which cannot be traditionally shouldered and aimed like a rifle, or pointed like a pistol.

The laser would allow you to more accurately paint your targets for the minigun, and probably the grenade MG as well.

An accurate grenade MG? That's like a recoilless 10ga automatic shotgun...amazing overkill.

Seen The Expendables? The black guy killed like 30 people with a AA-12 in like 5 seconds... that is overkill >_>

Well that's still just a movie (and a bad one at that), but I digress...

[Dylan Markese]

Hey, I didn't say it was in the game, just speculation that there is more than one big weapon in the game with a laser sight.

I meant it in a good way it'd be awesome to have an accurate grenade MG.

[Lyndsey Bird]

Since weapons will now have Strength requirements what are you guys going to put your Strength level at?
I'm going to go with six for right now because that should handle most guns except for the heaviest (Minigun, AMR)

I will probably go higher, so I can carry more supplies, ammo, and weapons...

[Jonathan Windmon]

7 or 8, it'll depend on what perks there are and quest rewards.

[Daramis McGee]

First character? 10.

[Kathryn Medows]

I'm going to put mine at 7 at the very least so I'll be able to use the heavier weapons like the Anti-Materiel Rifle and Light Machine Gun relatively effectively although later on I may be able increase Strength by whatever means we'll be able to. (Maybe cybernetic implants or something?) :tops:

Strength 7
Perception 5
Endurance 5
Charisma 5
Intelligence 8
Agility 7
Luck 3

[~Amy~]

Strength 7
Perception 5
Endurance 5
Charisma 5
Intelligence 8
Agility 7
Luck 3

Thats got to be pretty hoover dam close to what mine will be... Maybe more perception, less intelligence. "Cuz Mango want know where bad guy go, not how talk them."

[Eliza Potter]

I think my SPECIAL will be
S-6
P-6
E-4
C-5
I-8
A-8
L-3

Does anyone know if a higher Agility effects Guns in any way other than accuracy?

[Noely Ulloa]

Well, power armor and chems can raise strength, and there's supposed to be cybernetic implants too. So I would be fine with 6 because I can upgrade myself.

[Lynette Wilson]

I've been thinking that the Grease Gun might svck compared to the 10mm which if it's anything like FO3 will be fairly common so I'm worried it's going to become a useless gun compared to 10mm.


Oh and my special will probably be:
S:7
P:6
E:4
C:4
I:5
A:8
L:6

I don't know. The 9mm SMG made pretty short work of those convicts in the Primm gameplay video. And 9mm will probably be this game's most common ammo.

[James Smart]

Well the 9mm is good all I'm saying is I kinda doubt they'll make 10mm rare by any means I don't know maybe the 9mm has a higher rate of fire or something.

[Sunnii Bebiieh]

Looked like AP use was pretty low. If I wasn't so lazy I'd go back and watch the video to see how many VATS shots the player got off in one round. Cheers for laziness :foodndrink:


@Josh - Been shooting lately?

[CHARLODDE]

3 or 4 it seems like.

[m Gardner]

3 or 4 it seems like.

Not unusually high but still a lot for an automatic gun

EDIT:Early game at least although we don't know his agility so, kinda hard to tell.

[Heather M]

My jaw dropped when I laid my eyes on the Service Rifle. That weapon... it became my new hunting rifle. I mean, I just can't wait to mod it, make it my own, and travel around the desert with it. Plus, the Ranger Sequio(sp?) will make a nice add on if things get nasty.

I've always loved earlier AR variants. The wood stock and hand-guard make it so much more amazing than the m4 or m16 variants.

[Darian Ennels]

Agreed, the delicious wood stock is favorable.

And 10mm smgs? Well, they seemed a little rare as it was. I hardly found them in loot chests, the only place I saw them was in the hands of raiders.
So how rare would you expect them to be?

[Bad News Rogers]

I've been thinking about the weapons and there in-game use, mainly are any weapons going the way of the Scoped .44 Magnum/.44 ammo, the Fat Man, and a few others? It really was kinda annoying that there really were no raiders, mercs, ghouls, or mutants in the game that spawned with one.

When I think about some of the weapons that have been confirmed, there are a few that strike me as .44 magnumish. At least in the sense that they might not be widely used in-game. I don't have a problem with good weapons and their ammunition being rare(sniper rifle and .308), but I'm not wild about them being non-existant(scoped .44 and .44 mag).

I can understand the Fat Man, but really there isn't a reason why the rest of the weapons can't be more utilized. If anything, it will add to the challenge which lots of people seem to want.
