Can we have a Shooting Range?

Ohsnapkline · 2016-03-15 13:45:21 UTC

just a shooting range like in the tutorial where we can quickly hop into and try out all the Mercs. I want to practice with vassili

If the community is ever given the ability to make maps I’m sure something like this will be created.

Having this implemented into the menu would be great! For now though you can actually do that with console commands. It’s not perfect, but it works.

I’ve done it plenty of times in offline mode but the issue with Vassili is all sniper riffles have no scopes and look nothing like the in game guns.

Major agree! @Faraleth @RazielWarmonic Has this been talked about? I’ve been wanting this forever.

BananaSlug · 2016-03-15 19:15:53 UTC

i think it should be a feature, this probably isnt too much work too

Jostabeere · 2016-03-15 19:22:10 UTC

We don’t need a new shooting range. Why? Because we already have one.
Where? In the tutorial.

I tried to get Vassili in the tutorial, and it worked. Kinda. It was buggy. And I could not proceed to the actual shooting range.

So in conclusion, we don’t directly need a shooting range. SD only has to change one step in the tutorial and allow people to join it with their current squad.
What they need to change? The obligatory “Learn how to throw ammo packs”. Change it to “Get ammo from the ammo crate in the corner”
So every merc can pass this step and have the built-in shooting range.

@Mc1412013
You can make the scope appear.

Load in the map
Load in your weapon you want to use
Load in the map again from the game you’re in
Load in your class for special abilities if needed

Congratulations, you now got fixed iron sights / scopes for that weapon.

You can also spawn the scope on the grandeur which makes it pretty awesome looking.

Or the long awaited RDS…

Tbh Id love to be able to replay the shooting range of the tutorial in a first step. Just looping the event would be enough for the first iteration. Cant be that much dev effort until they decide to rework everything properly.

We are working on something that will fill this void.

I cannot release any details aside from that however, so apologies in advance.

As a non-Redeye-main I am feared of any Redeye having this.

Older mercs can make due with what they have at there disposal. They are more used to the iron sights. Fucking old people…

The whole point of the GSR is that it’s not supposed to be like the other sniper rifles, it doesn’t have a scope for that purpose since it’s a medium range weapon primarily. Unless the sight still preserves the unique iron sights (merely giving a better view and nothing else) it would go against the design of the weapon.

Naonna · 2016-03-16 18:15:17 UTC

…why does the Kek-10 have a better sight than the GSR then? - or the hochfir… or the driess …
