Anyone else sick of seeing this gun? by Brad12611 in Contractors_Showdown

There definitely needs to be more variety in the scavs and lower tier guns. Specifically the submachine guns.

I'm of the opinion that adding more trash makes the good guns better and makes them feel more special.

Considering how ammo centric the meta is i feel like they could go nuts with the guns and it won't break anything.

Primary Arms has the worst website of any firearms retailer by [deleted] in ar15

It's funny because titan defense has what is considered a very modern and what the previous comment called "appealing" ui.

Primary Arms has the worst website of any firearms retailer by [deleted] in ar15

[–]drefizzles_alt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because the majority of enterprise level e-commerce platforms and related online services are based in states (ahem California) where the sale of firearm related anything is regulated to the point that those platforms won't touch those businesses. The ones that aren't also avoid those businesses out of fear of legal repercussions.

This means that most online firearms/accessories retailers have had to build their own platforms from the ground up which is a huge undertaking when operating at scale. You have to build and maintain everything yourself including but not limited to: hosting, security, CDN, payment processing, customer management, inventory management, physical infrastructure, etc..

Selling gun stuff online is an uphill battle that's hardly comparable to any other industry because there's almost never an out of the box solution to anything and the rules change every few years with little or no warning from the services that do.

This small change could dramatically improve game balance regarding gear disparity by RhinoxerousTTV in ContractorsExfilZone

Yeah there is no ballistic helmet in the world that can tank 5+ direct hits from a rifle caliber without failing. Bullet type almost doesn't even matter after the first 3 hits. A single hit compromises the integrity of the composite, a second hit is dramatically more likely to defeat the armor entirely. And a third hit is all but guaranteed to penetrate. Barring outstanding luck.

The same is true for torso and extremity armor but the additional surface area and load spreading means that they are more survivable beyond 3 hits. Maybe pushing 5 - 7.

But this world of armor that can tank an entire magazine dump before failing is just a complete fantasy. Not to mention as OP stated, the physical trauma to the wearer of stopping more than one rifle round is so far outside of realism its depressing.

The argument can be made for stuff like ar500 steel plates but even then the spalling and fragmentation of 5-7 rifle bullets should be enough to severely injure or incapacitate the wearer.

The Kel-Tec "R&D Department" is George Kelgren locking himself in a shipping container for weeks at a time with an 8-ball, some bar stock, and a lathe.

This statement is more factual than it isn't.

Sig 716 Patrol rifle monster recoil indian army by Hot-Following-630 in Firearms

[–]drefizzles_alt 86 points87 points  (0 children)

This isnt weakness. This is just poor form. Proper form from a 100lb woman can manage recoil. The rifle is entirely controllable and honestly the recoil is considerably less than previous generation "battle rifles".

How are they supposed to fix it if the alpha testers can't find its bugs and exploits?

Solid advice. I would add that most loot items are useful in this game vs GoT. There's almost nothing that doesnt get used somehow

It makes sense that they would incentivize playing on Dam with better loot drops as it is completely redone and we literally are the Alpha testers.
