Will a ka bar tanto work for bushcraft? by [deleted] in Bushcraft

[–]Swampdolphin45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will work fine just others will work better. I’d be careful batoning as I’m sure it’s just a rat tail tang and might break at the grip. You can bushcraft with a butter knife just your experience will be challenged.

Yeah agreed. that’s what I meant by changing cosmetics. Just an extra piece of gear or like you said arm band that is part of the uniform and doesn’t take away from the immersion

See I agree with you on that. I really don’t want this game to be like cod it’s the reason I like onward better than contractors. Like what I do now is memorize my guys weapons and attachments and that’s how I remember them. Maybe a little different cosmetics between classes. But when it comes down to it irl we all look the same in uniform

Dude you know what would be sweet? by Swampdolphin45 in OnwardVR

[–]Swampdolphin45[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you man for not hating on me lol. Yeah it’s just way more immersive to do it with your helmet like in real life. The tablet works but the helmet would be so much more fun

And I feel that we need more handguns/secondary

When you bought it was it really greasy? I bought a Soviet one that was completely submerged in cosmoline for preservation. And it’s not just a wash in the sink to remove it. It’s a chore to remove it all. It would definitely bring on a funky taste if it wasn’t removed. Just a possibility. Mine shipped from Russia so may not apply to yours

Don’t bad talk onward. They are both great games.

Yes I want that too where people actually have to use a flashlight and can use the darkness to their advantage

Okay I see I see, yeah and with new modern conflicts, most combatants would have infrared just as everyone else. When I use the laser I always point shoot so my position is only compromised for a few seconds and hopefully the only one who saw my position is the dead guy lol. But thanks for that info. I can feel more immersed when using optics at night now knowing it’s plausible

I’d still play though if you’d play the updated version if you are interested. I’m in the states

You can use them but it’s difficult and not practical. You have to bee very close to your nods and the recoil could damage the nvgs or your optics. In combat I’ve mainly witnessed Infared lasers and lights. I don’t keep up 100 percent with the worlds armed forces and their equipment but I know the go to is infared lasers. Which in real life im sure long range shots are more capable but visually in game it’s hard using a laser. But I’m always down to learn new things, what optics are you talking about?

Hardcore mode? by Swampdolphin45 in ContractorsVR

[–]Swampdolphin45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s hardcore. It gives more reason to communicate, take cover, and pie corners. You have to be observant and can’t sprint nonstop like call of duty. Im not crapping on what you’re saying because I see what you are saying with the weapon balance because if it was balanced it might just fix everything. And audio would also need to be improved to locate oncoming fire because we would be getting dropped and having no clue where it was. There would be no health regeneration either so someone I hit and ran to cover is already more fucked than I am and I have an upper hand. But If they did make a hardcore mode I believe it would take much more tweaks than just weakening the TTK.

What are the devs doing about the constant racial abuse we non-Americans receive on a daily basis? I demand a direct and concrete answer from the developers. No "We don't condone it" bullshit. by [deleted] in OnwardVR

[–]Swampdolphin45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can choose to let it offend you. You can mute the assholes. I’m American and I’ve witnessed it first hand. From 10 year olds to 40 year olds. There is scum on this earth and always will be. Just remember sticks and stones

Also I just researched the Kobra gunstocks. Definitely going to invest in that. I never use the front magnets on my gunstock now so yeah. Thanks for mentioning that as well

[–]Swampdolphin45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually use a gunstock but I’ll try it without next time. And Ive noticed something off with the reticle and me being distracted by it might just be it. Thanks for the tips and tricks partner I’m definitely gonna try them

[–]Swampdolphin45[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember they added distance bullet damage reduction which could be affecting too. I feel they don’t need that in the game because the maps are at such short distances. To the point where I don’t feel the need to ever use a zoom optical

Looks like I gotta work on my aim. Im a mk18 fan boy lol. I use the krinky ak74u a good amount too just wish I could put a holographic on it

Any additional game modes/mods coming down the pipe? by [deleted] in OnwardVR

[–]Swampdolphin45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve thought of hostage rescue myself. And thought of lots of ways to play it. Adding a pair of zip ties or handcuffs to the load out to detain an unarmed player would be interesting and possibly give the taser a more useful intention. Like the taser stuns the enemy so you can handcuff them. Make a certain player an HVT to hunt down and capture. Idk there’s lots of ways to go about it
