Modern Weapons Need To Be More Costly

[SgtFlex]

As it seems, I think Rust is headed in a great direction, but the higher tier weapons seem too easy to obtain and craft.

As such, I know it'll be harder to obtain and research these weapons once the new researching system is implemented. The thing is that, as costly as M4's and other Modern Weapons are, people will go to any length to obtain them. I think weapons like P250's and such should be much rarer in radtowns. The Dev's have made some good apocalypse-type weapons, like the revolver and pipe shotgun, but they seem to be rarely ever used, especially the revolver.

I just think that it should be in a sort of environment where most players are using apocalypse-type weapons and less modern weapons. Ammo for Modern weapons should also be much harder to come by, and there should be more variants of apocalypse-type weapons (like some sort of worn-down SMG or bolt rifle).

I know there's going to be a lot of people that might disagree with me, but im open to other's people's thoughts on what direction they think the game should head in.

I would vote on the poll, but there isn't a third option.

Both.

I mean all the modern military weapons wouldn't just disappear. They would probably be rare, and if you were to make them it should be difficult. I feel there should be a combination of the two, with military weapons obviously being a lot better and a lot harder to obtain.

Good point, I suppose I didn't think about it enough lol.

for a sniper you need 30 low quality metal, that's almost 10 metal walls ... how are they not hard to make ?

The issue that the Devs have brought up before is that the rich keep getting richer. We had nearly 8 bolt actions after a while. And metal walls are nothing, its only about 60 metal frags per wall, which is nothing when you are the rich. We were able to farm enough resources to get at least a bolt action a day, which is one of the highest tier weapons in the game.
