Devlog 41: Ranged Weapons

Ranged weapons are what you really want to find in Survival Games if you want to be more than first day fodder. Keep reading to learn about four of our favourites.

Battle Rifle

Medium to long range, with a three round burst. Load this beast up with Medium bullets and prepare to wreck face. Like all guns, there are rarity variants with the rarest blasting off four rounds per burst instead of three. And yes, it is inspired by Halo 2.

Flare Gun

Yes I know, it's a nautical tool used to signal help and it's utterly useless in a Battle Royale type game. But it does deal decent damage at range, and start fires. This makes a great distraction, and it's pretty shameful to get finished off by one of these.

SWAT Pistol

When you combine a regular 9199 Operator with an upgrade kit, you get one of these sexy little pieces. They also spawn in locked chests. When you Aim Down Sight (herafter referred to ADS in respect to this secondary function in regards to operation with lethal intent) you get some handy dandy zoom. Oh, and it won't show up a sound marker on the map. Sound markers are something we're adding next update. Woot!

Shotgun

Imagine if Katniss or Shuya got their greasy mits on a shotgun? Eight shells can be loaded in, for some up close mayhem. Scrap blocks can be blown away with impunity, and even bronze chests can be cracked open with a few shots. Have I mentioned that locked chests can just be destroyed to reveal contents? Well, that’s four guns out of 34 in the game currently. I hope this helps you win. I hope you all win. Every game. I'll be back soon with more helpful info. - Jarryd
