[Request] Weapons Ideas: A good start for Newmans and more meele combat. - Rust

As a frequent player of rust, i would love to help the community and the game, if I could. So, I was thinking in some ideas, and from a steam thread i saw some time ago, why not talk about some things that could be implemented if anyone agrees? Some weapons I would really like to see in rust are the next ones: You Know the shotguns, we got the First, but hard to use Eoka pistol, then our trustwhorty Waterpipe Shotgun, and finally the Stronger of all: the Pump Shotgun. But still, I think there's a great empty space between the Waterpipe and Pump, so I thought, how about implementing something in there? Better than Waterpipe, but not much as pump. How about a Double Barrel Shotgun? Or even a sawed-off shotgun? Would be interesting to see a player sniping from a hill on a raid with a Bolt-Action Rifle, and it's about to get ambushed by someone, and suddendly, before getting shot by his foe, he takes out a Sawed-off shotgun, and kills him with two shots to the chest. What do you guys think? And Second, as a Newman, we have too little options for defending ourselves, but specially hunting. Hunting is really hard when starting from 0, mostly when you have to run Kilometers for reaching a single running prey, so we should need a weapon that fit for a good start, specially at the time for going to hunt some deers, boars and horses. A weapon that it's as good for hunting down an animal, but so for men. Javelins. If they were implemented to game, it should be a starting tier weapon, It's range should be measured on how fast you're moving (Yes, it would be a good implement if you could run, charging with one ready to throw), the faster you run, the farest will go. Not so economic than bows, but very deadly if used well, but only making one in a single craft. Maybe 100 wood and 30 stones. And last thing. More meele weapons. but mostly... Metal meele weapons, Even though if they're implementing soon the bone mace as a new weapon, It feel like it won't be enough, because there isn't good weapons after you get your first gun, and meele gets almost obsolete, because there's no more advanced close-combat weaponry. So, there could be things like: - Combat Knife (Or Survival Knife, you name it). A metal variant for the Bone blade, more deadly, and a slightly a better tool for collecting animal resources like Cloth and Animal Fat. - Machete or kukri (Made of a sharp metal blade, and lot of other junk maybe to make it look more "Rusty"). Could work best for actually making the player bleed, than making basic damage. An alternative choice against well armored foes, wearing lot of clothes. -Metal Spear? Also, fix the Salvaged Axe, it doesn't collects Wood and cloth with much efficiency, even the Hatchet is more effective, and way more cheaper. For example you cut off a big tree using a hatchet, and get around 800 of wood. Salvaged gets you around 600. Happens the same with the Ice Pickaxe. Please fix that, because no one likes using those tools because of that. So, yeah, that is all I can say about this. I just hope Someone gets interest in this ideas, and make it happen some day, because I just want to help the community with some ideas, and mostly, make this game a big thing. I'm sorry if my english isn't good, farewell, and thank you for your attention. Everyone is welcome to reply back with any critic or idea.

Check out the devblogs from time to time, throwing weapons are coming up soon on the to-do list

The Eoka takes shotgun ammo now. Its not the same, but a step towards a sawed-off.

[QUOTE=Ferro;47783293]The Eoka takes shotgun ammo now. Its not the same, but a step towards a sawed-off.[/QUOTE] True ,actually takes most ammo. But it's always better 2 controlled shots, than one randomized shot. Don't you think? :3

Double barrel could be cool. I'd also like to see something between the unreliable eoka and the BP guns: a blunderbuss muzzle loader.

Could be more like a musket, or a springfield, like you said.

[QUOTE=Zipper Bear;47783150]Check out the devblogs from time to time, throwing weapons are coming up soon on the to-do list[/QUOTE] And now there's some dev twitter action on it. Throwin' axes and spears should be around the corner.

[QUOTE=Suka;47875900]According to Rustified. "4:20pm EST - Spear throwing just got added!!" [url]http://www.rustafied.com/[/url][/QUOTE] That is good news there--I remember seeing throwing items listed some time back and was worried it got lost.
