Weaponry Question
« on: March 08, 2013, 05:25:52 am »

Just started playing and I have a question. Where do I go for weapons? I have skeelz in swords but I couldn't figure out how to buy a sword.

The Oubliette in the Commercial district has a few swords I think. Medieval gear section.

Oubliette is right on for swords.

For other weapons, the pawn shop is a great place to find guns. If you need illegal weapons, you might try visiting the crack house or housing projects in the industrial districts, and try to find a gang member willing to sell you weapons. Anything you can't buy one of those two places, you'll need to find through site actions -- breaking into the national guard armory, for example, or killing enemies likely to carry guns.

Thanks! This time I won't die for being stupid and forgetting I had no weapon! :D

This has inspired me to mod in more sword-skill weapons.

First: a chainsaw.

Why would a chainsaw be sword skill?  You can't really parry with a chainsaw...

You could cut weapons in half. :)

Well, what other skill would I make it? It's got a blade of some sort. You can swing and stab with it. You can hold it by the handle with one or both hands. Sounds swordy to me.

Heavy weapons? Chainsaws are kind of heavy.

There's an "axe" skill in the game. Axes and chainsaws are both used for cutting wood. Could that work?

Not really, you swing an Axe, with a chainsaw he just kind of... I don't really know how to explain the action.
Maybe a new skill?

Heavy and light swords then?  We might as well add sub categories for swords, since all swords are different and weight does matter.

The whole reason I started the "chainsaw" idea was that I figured we needed some more-powerful melee weapons, and swords popped into my head based on the OP.
