A testing range

(Talonser) #1

I have been playing Dirty Bomb for some time now, and I want to suggest the creation of some sort of testing area, similar to the tutorial, except you could try out any merc/loadout card, as well as some target practice of some sort to be able to warm up before heading into multiplayer, to get a feel for a merc you just bought (or for one you’re planning to buy).

I know there are commands that can be used to play maps and mercs at will, but I think that having this as an implemented feature would be quite useful to the average player, since they might not be aware of the commands, and keeping them in your head is pretty difficult.

What do you all think? Would this be something useful to include in-game or do you think it would be unnecessary?

Imo it would be nice to be able to test the loadouts you have without multiple console commands , but i don’t really need it.

It would be nice for the game in the future but not exactly the priority right now.

I used to replay the tutorial so I could use the shooting range, and it used to help with my aim. Was a pain in the ass to get up to it and then only get it for a minute. So I for one would appreciate this kind of feature.

@Watsyurdeal and I were talking about this recently because I got a new mouse, and to find a sensitivity I like, I went to the shooting range, but you only get to use it once. So it’d be nice to have this accessible by itself and so you could do it multiple times with any weapon of your choice, and maybe have scoreboards on who can get the most targets in the least amount of time. We should also have a short mandatory tutorial for each merc, because a lot of people don’t realize ammo is for teammates and that the REVIVR revives people.

@Talonser test range sounds great … but the point of the games teamwork and doing it under pressure. A dummy or an AI made to be tested would only make people want to do PvE matches and what not so it would be a cool thing but a huge pain if they did it wrong,

Such a map exists:

Just not available in the current build. :cry:
