So, I was thinking about this. I don't have Rust, but I do know there aren't much weapons. I think they should add military weapons in military outposts/bases where you can find M16's, M9's, and other, "end-game" weapons. But, the catch would be there could be zombies with armor, or possibly becoming infected from special zombies.

Zombies are currently being used as placeholders. With the current system I am not sure how well this would work as people could simply door off all the good spawns and only a select few would get access to those items.

Also, we already have M4s and M9s if you're talking about adding them. We do need some variety, but in a development stage like this, I feel like they have every weapon covered. Balanced or not yet, it's there. Only thing that's missing is things like mines, and snipers. Those would need serious balancing, and grenades need to be changed. Other than that, we're good for now.

A rifle with a iron sight would be the alternative to the sniper,it would need alot of skill from the shooter to actually manage to kill somebody.

[QUOTE=1337Coop;41227844]As I said, I don't have the game, but can't you break doors?[/QUOTE] You can but its doors only and it takes an ungodly amount of time to do. More destructable objects will be added.
[QUOTE=1337Coop;41227844]As I said, I don't have the game, but can't you break doors?[/QUOTE] The only way to break doors is to hatchet it down and if you are doing it legit(not speedhacking) then it takes around 4 in-game days to do it. So it wouldn't really be an option in a radiation zone.
[QUOTE=Tsyolin;41227876]You can but its doors only and it takes an ungodly amount of time to do. More destructable objects will be added.[/QUOTE] Will they be adding better melee and tool weapons? (Upgraded hatchets basically)
[QUOTE=1337Coop;41227894]Will they be adding better melee and tool weapons? (Upgraded hatchets basically)[/QUOTE] Most likely, but I have no real clue.
What about grenade launchers? (uses grenades as ammo)
[QUOTE=1337Coop;41227894]Will they be adding better melee and tool weapons? (Upgraded hatchets basically)[/QUOTE] Chances are that if it's the logical thing to do, then it will be added at somepoint.
[QUOTE=1337Coop;41227871]You said M4s and M9s, but what about better variants of the guns we already have?[/QUOTE] Not sure what you meant from this...I was assuming mods(lazersights, acog scopes ect...) if that is the case that is already in the game.
[QUOTE=RuffNRoudy;41227919]Not sure what you meant from this...I was assuming mods(lazersights, acog scopes ect...) if that is the case that is already in the game.[/QUOTE] No, I meant actually NEW weapons, such as more military-grade weapons.
[QUOTE=1337Coop;41227913]What about grenade launchers? (uses grenades as ammo)[/QUOTE] I don't like the sound of that. Grenades need to be buffed to begin with but I dont think we really need to start getting into crazy guns as if this was like Killing Floor on a massive scale.
[QUOTE=1337Coop;41227871]You said M4s and M9s, but what about better variants of the guns we already have?[/QUOTE] Get mods and attachments. We have MP5s, 2 pistols, a shotgun, grenades, and a melee weapon. We have the essential criteria for basic gameplay, and adding in mods was more than enough for testing purposes. The devs will know what guns to add in, as guns are actually fairly balanced right now in my opinion.

[QUOTE=1337Coop;41227913]What about grenade launchers? (uses grenades as ammo)[/QUOTE] I strongly dislike this idea Lol.
Crossbows, swords, spears or more primitive type weapons might be cool. In a real apocalyptic survival situation you'd use whatever sort of weapon you can get a hold of/fashion.
[QUOTE=1337Coop;41227930]No, I meant actually NEW weapons, such as more military-grade weapons.[/QUOTE] I'm sure we might see stuff like a P90 or an AK in the future but something like a Barret .50 is wishful thinking.

[QUOTE=1337Coop;41227949]I mean just enough to break a barricade, but as I said it would be in these, "military bases."[/QUOTE] You don't need a grenade launcher to use grenades. Hell you could probably just make homemade explosives via gunpowder.
[QUOTE=thon;41227970]Crossbows, swords, spears or more primitive type weapons might be cool. In a real apocalyptic survival situation you'd use whatever sort of weapon you can get a hold of/fashion.[/QUOTE] How about a single shot muzzle loading pipegun?
[QUOTE=Tsyolin;41228016]You don't need a grenade launcher to use grenades.

[editline]28th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Xombi;41228031]How about a single shot muzzle loading pipegun?[/QUOTE] I don't think that would be very good, but it might be fun. XD
[QUOTE=1337Coop;41228010]I know it's just in early stages of developement, but I hope they add more weapons, such as battle rifles, or something like that.[/QUOTE] Such as the FN SCAR or the FN FAL? Maybe... again I think we have enough for now.
[QUOTE=Tsyolin;41228063]Such as the FN SCAR or the FN FAL? Maybe... again I think we have enough for now.[/QUOTE] Yeah, but I mean later. XD
Well its maybe not the most useful gun, But if you have nothing like in a apocalyptic survival situation then it might be better then nothing.
