"I'll watch your back Damon." Marks grins as he looks through the scope.

((Bolt Action Rifles already have scopes.

Also; Explosive Ammo Pack+Flamethrower=AHAHAHAHAHA

Does gaining Explosive replace Incendiary? And if someone's right in front of me, and I use it, with explosive ability, would I get hurt? Would it even gain the Explosive ability? It should at least reload my ammunition.))

[RangerCado]

((0h, editing. And yes it will replace the ammo.))

[Nerjin]

Do packs only work for the person who uses them, or is it a team thing?

Spoiler: Detachable Scope, Attachment (click to show/hide)

Effect: Each player’s primary weapon gains the “Scope” ability. When the player switches their Primary weapon this ability is lost.  This cannot stack with other attachments and players must individually choose an attachment to keep.
AP Cost: 2
Uses: 1
Targets: Entire Party

Just check the "Targets" section for the thing. But basically every Attachment and Ammo pack affects each member of the team.

Does gaining Explosive replace Incendiary? And if someone's right in front of me, and I use it, with explosive ability, would I get hurt? Would it even gain the Explosive ability? It should at least reload my ammunition.

It will not affect you because that'd be really unfair for shotgun and flamethrower users. They do gain the explosive ability in addition to the other abilities it already has. If I feel it's unfair then I'll change that later but for now they can have both. For now though it'll work out just fine.

[Rolepgeek]

Oh sweet, it affects everyone?
Hold off on grabbing/using that until I get the flamethrower then.

I thought it only gave it to one person.

I made some weapon proposals, I don't know how good they are though. Just ideas. Makes them good weapons to sabotage specials, though, even if they're bad at killing hordes.

[GiglameshDespair]

I question how a bow has a clip.

Also, doesn't make sense. A compound bow is more powerful but doesn't go as far? What?

Also, just kinda... unneeded. Long range attacks are covered with sniper/bolt action rifles. Quiet is pointless as sitting back while one bloke snipes off undead one at a time is both uninteresting and slow.

[Rolepgeek]

Meh. Just because something isn't needed doesn't mean it's not nice to have. Case in point; cupcakes.

Not a question of range as in actually how far the projectile can travel, it's a question of effective range. Compound bows are smaller, with shorter projectiles but more power behind them. Also, clip size excuse is that with a bow you have to pull a new arrow out of a quiver(plus, harder to draw back), while with a compound bow it can be in those little holder things right next to where you draw.

Also, it's not meant to be a horde killer weapon. >.> It's a support weapon, not a blow-em-all-away. It's meant to Hamstring specials. When it's not being used for that, it has Overdraw to get Passing Through or Quick Fire to be of some use, if small.

EDIT: Also, if these were added, the Suppressor Attachment and adding Quiet to Melee weapons would probably need to be added.

[Maxinum McDreich]

Worried using a bolt action rifle... it's not going to be effective in overwatch, and very specialised in what it WILL kill, so will be interesting.

Moves to get to weapon area.
Picks up Bolt Action Rifle.

As Ali mulled over her shots hitting Damon, she couldn't help but remember that he DID get in her way with a chainsaw. Made her feel a little better thinking like that anyway. As she picked up the long ranged rifle, she felt a bit happier. Now, she could stay well back from these things. Still... she was aware it was leaving her lacking in the reaction department.
''U-um... c-could someone give me a second... pistol...'' Ali asked bashfully.

[GiglameshDespair]

My point is we already have several support weapons: bolt action rifles, sniper rifles, and even the HMG could be considered one. Sure, we could add more weapons, but havings AKs and M16s is just as good if not better than having AKs, M16s, P90s, LA98s, G11s, MP5s.... you get my point. Bows occupy the same sort of area as the more 'sniping' weapons, and sniping weapons are both more, i don't know the right word, fitting with the game, and while most everyone can shoot a gun drawing a bow requires a lot of upper arm strength, especially compound bows.

Maxinum: we have plenty of rapid fire with 3 smgs, so a bolt action wouldn't go amiss. It has passing through, so it should be decent against hordes. 'course, you could always pick it up after the Event.

[Nerjin]

Fun fact: I'm thinking of adding a thing to the regular Pistol that allows you to move and fire on the same turn. I'm not entirely sure though. I kinda want to add a weapon that allows for more mobility at the cost of fire-power. What are your thoughts on the subject?

Also: God I want to add bows so frieken bad but... Ugh... They just don't fit and it makes me sad.

[Rolepgeek]

You could just have a rule that it gives you a big accuracy penalty.

[Kashyyk]

Pleased to see that Jim was ok after his tussle with the 'Charger', Jeffrey made his way around the cars and to the garage door. [Just say the word and I'll open this up]

Move to I46 (3 AP)

"I'm running... oof... a bit low on bulletmajigs for the machine gun here. Why don't one of you with the ammo packs set it up so we can all grab some? "

[Nerjin]

Sorry for the late prod. Prodding Scapheap as we speak.
