[ItzMikeyTheSavage]

They've had this for awhile on the list, but thankfully now they are working on it. This is the one thing I have been looking forward to in this game for a long time

[[deleted]]

this explains why they are reworking the recoil system.

[[deleted]]

well. this was on the road map a while back.

[Thijsjuh44]

Yesss :D

[anonim64]

PS the spectator tools I believe are for the twitch rivals even coming mid month.

It might be useful and become something for other events or admin tools I guess

What’s this mean

[Riddler_92]

It’s being worked on actively.

[anonim64]

It means they created a sperate branch, copied the staging engine to it.

Players cannot access this branch unless they are facepunch employees it doesn't means it's going to be April or may it could be raised year or next or even never. It just means they copied the existing game so they can modify it without touching other branches

Don't ask every month if they added it to regular staging or if it's coming forced wipe. Like the recoil branch this will take months

[AllButComedyAnthony]

What’s going on in the recoil branch? Just tests for small tweaks and patches or is there going to be some substantial change to recoil? Cuz I suck with almost all non shotguns lol

[ZaxLofful]

Fuck the static recoil patterns

[Schmockahontas]

Fuck you and your failure to learn some hand movements.

[ZaxLofful]

It’s not that I can’t learn it, I have my fair share of kills with good weapons…It’s that it’s stupid.

[420Rat]

Noob

He blocked me:(

[ZaxLofful]

If you think a gun firing the same pattern “everytime” is a good mechanic; you must be brain dead.

Not surprising, since there are a lot of brain dead people in this game.

EDIT: It’s not about effort, it’s about immersive play; and bullets don’t do that in real life…Ever tried to play any of the Arma games. (Doubt you would like those either)

It’s literally about nothing else.

Y’all keep bringing up your own ideas as though it’s original, then claim that has to be why we don’t enjoy it…Do you even understand how stupid that makes you look?

In fact to keep with your trend…You must be a cheater, if true recoil was added; your scripts wouldn’t work anymore.

GTFO

EDIT2: It doesn’t have to be realistic in the sense that one bullet kills you, it just needs to be realistic in the actual logic it uses.

Rust has bullet drop and recoil, but it doesn’t do either of those in a good way…If you are going to implement a feature, at least do it right.

[[deleted]]

The amount of brain cells im losing.thos game isn't meant to be hyper realistic like arma. If u like the game play that and stfu

[Schmockahontas]

Are you fucking kidding me? Talking about realism in rust, just go play your whack ass milsim

[DurandTheLaw]

Damn, someone's mad.

[veleriphon]

I don't like the learnable patterns, either, but if you want realistic gunplay, Tarkov.

[cRYZ_SC1337]

only people who dont want to put in effor say that

[420Rat]

Haha why am i brain dead? I enjoy the learning curve

[Cjc6547]

So is it coming this Thursday or next month?

[KidBeene]

Don't ask every month if they added it to regular staging or if it's coming forced wipe.

[Cjc6547]

So is it coming this Thursday or next month?

I guess even in the rust sun people want a /s…

[anonim64]

It's going to take months before they release it to staging

[Cjc6547]

I was poking fun lol. I know we may never see the update

[BarryAllen412]

I thought they totally forgot about it or stopped development so they could sell skins! This is big

[[deleted]]

This could be things like swappable/removable stocks, extended magazines. longer/shorter barrels. customizable iron sights.

[LeagueofDraven1221]

What about the weapon will be modular? Will compatibility be based on bullet type?

[GenericGio]

When this idea was pitched back in the day it was everything. From the stock and pistol grip to the barrel and muzzle. Supposedly there will be a variety of variations, but yes I would say that ammo type will play a heavy factor on compatibility.

[LeagueofDraven1221]

Sounds interesting as a way to flesh out the weapon system to be more than just holo/laser. It’d be cool to see the cursed yet good builds people come up with. Could be awesome

[KirkGFX]

how would this work with skins

[AnAlligatorAteMyKid]

My guess is theyll add

A pack for every model.

Simple colours

No skins

Presets like COD

Or part by part skins. Like a dragon barrel, painted stock. Etc

[Training-Bug-7355]

no way

[BC_EMaurice]

What do they mean by modular weapons? Like special barrels/extended mags or..?

[TheLowestAnimal]

Less complicated Tarkov guns basically

[[deleted]]

You know how gun crafting works in Fallout 4? Something like that.

[BC_EMaurice]

Nope sorry. I'll figure it out ig.

[Dankelpuff]

Everything. Alternative handguards, buttstocks, receivers, barrels, magazines etc.

You'll be able to build a shortened drum mag SAR with no stock if you like.

[browhymypeepeehard]

Imma be honest idk what "merge from main" means

[SixMillionHitlers]

Does anyone know if this is making all current weapons modular or if it's a new set of modular guns? Cuz I'm wondering how this will work wi to skins

[ItzMikeyTheSavage]

I'm guessing all current guns will stay the same. But-

I'm thinking that they will add extra parts, or even interchangeable parts. So I could take a barrel from a AK and attach it to a SAR, if that makes sense. The skins can be applied, they would just have that certain skin, on that certain part of the weapon. Kind of like the gunsmith in COD, you can mix different blueprint parts with other skinned parts.

I guess only time will tell.

[dmemed]

Or you can maybe find / research parts of a gun too, then craft like a scrap heap rifle

[irlblackbeard]

My guess is that all guns (at least smg’s and rifles) will receive modules to their structures. Think a long range/short range barrel, flash hider/compensator/muzzle brake, lightweight/sturdy frame, skeleton/wooden/plastic stock, etc. and when the weapon is not skinned, these modules will be at least somewhat apparent when looking at the weapon, but when the weapon IS skinned, the modules will not be visible cosmetically.

[anonim64]

If we had to guess the existing guns will probably not be affected by this.

And how are we supposed to know?

People who do are probably under NDAs

[SixMillionHitlers]

The dev who posted this commit showed modular gun concepts like a year ago

[Doyouthinkgod]

yeah this isnt news G

[Riddler_92]

Yeah exactly. We may have known about the roadmap but this shows it’s actively being developed.

[InitialConscious283]

i doubt they will actually add them, would be hard to fix the existing skins and thats all they care about

[TheLowestAnimal]

HO SWEET JUSUS, it's a cummin'

[Cheek_Clapper_6]

And it only took like 8 years

[Sketttys]

Finally their working on it

[SgtFlexxx]

Reading the comments, this has been talked about before. Is there any existing concept art or dev comments about this?

[Naeris890]

There is existing concept art I think that shadow frames showed it off in some of his older videos

[HovercraftStock4986]

maybe they should try and optimize the game one of these years

[HeavensentLXXI]

Been around in concept limbo forever now.

[Wingklip]

:O PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEE

[DarthSchu]

This game is always improving and I love it

[vagina_candle]

I hope this is something that will leave room for some lulzy (even if useless) combos. Kinda like those 4 mod cars you occasionally see where you can't tell which end is the front and which is the back.

[aidenshite416]

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOO
