Can you take two of the same gun?


(Linsolv) #21

The Barrett seems (to me) to be the better choice than the Dragnov, unless you’re unsure of your shot, or the enemies are standing in the open… Bolt action is more damage per hit in pretty much all places, so if your goal is to “soften them up,” if you can only get one shot on target the Barrett seems better.

You can take two of the same weapon class, but they won’t share ammo. Your primary weapon will have to be ‘downgraded’ to match the class of your secondary, though.


(tokamak) #23

So no Minigun and Assault rifle then. A weakest link?


(Schwarzeis) #24

What do you mean?

It is possible to go around with two pistols (secondary) but not two assault rifles (primary)?

Or you can have two miniguns, but they do not share the same ammo?

Ehh… Maybe I’m just stupid today :l


(DouglasDanger) #25

I thinmk he is saying you can take two weapons, but a medium would have to take two light weapons, and a heavy would have to take two medium weapons, and a light would have to take two pistols.

What he means is that you cannot have two primary weapon types for your body type:

-Light body types can wield a light gun as primary, and a sidearm (pistol) as secondary.
-Medium body types can wield a medium gun as primary, and a light gun or sidearm as secondary.
-Heavy body types can wield a heavy gun as primary, and a medium gun, light gun, or sidearm as secondary.

Example:

-Light body types wielding two sidearms (ie: Pistols).
-Medium body types wielding two light guns (ie: SMGs).
-Heavy body types wielding two medium guns (ie: Assault rifles).

So you can have two secondary weapons? Alright, thank you, KTR! :slight_smile:


(ktr) #28

Yep, you can wield two secondary weapons, or one primary and one secondary.


(tokamak) #29

I simply think he didn’t actually meant ‘. Your primary weapon will have to be ‘downgraded’ to match the class of your secondary’ as that would mean a primary would have to be downgraded to the level of a pistol should you chose to take one.


(Linsolv) #30

I don’t think that sounds right. I’m pretty sure if I want to I can take an AR and a pistol.

EDIT: As a medium.


(Angrim) #31

Yes, you can. He simply meant you cannot take two AR as medium and so on.


(Linsolv) #32

Toka was the one who I was arguing with, sorry that I failed to be clear on that.


(DouglasDanger) #33

Do you know this first-hand, or you are merely interpreting Exedore?


(tokamak) #34

Hence I think Exedore misformulated what he meant because that’s what it means if you take his words literary.

SD posts sometimes need the right Hadiths for interpretation.


(Linsolv) #35

No, it doesn’t. He said

What he means is that an SMG is simply better than a pistol, for instance, so if you want to have two pistols, you’re not going to get a pistol that’s just as good as an SMG for your primary, you’re going to have two weapons that are crap compared to an SMG.


(tokamak) #36

We obviously agree on what he might have meant but I love pedantic discussions :smiley:

" to match the class" is ambiguous at best but siding on the idea that the secondary brings down your primary to the same level of the secondary which would be clearly not what he meant.

So it’s pretty much

‘‘DO YOU WANT TO BE AS GOOD AS THE OTHERS - OR CRAP BECUASE IT SOUNDS COOL AND DIFFERENT?’’

No one in their right mind would grab to pistols over a SMG and a pistol :l

… right? :o


(Linsolv) #38

Someone’s going to do that on Tuesday, I’m certain of it.


(Schwarzeis) #39

Probably :stuck_out_tongue:

Whenever you can think ‘‘that’s silly, no one would do that’’ someone will always do it


(Mad Hatter) #40

I’ll do it~!

I don’t think taking two SMG’s as a medium or two pistols as a Light, for example, would put me at too much of a disadvantage, if at all. The weapons are all situational. It’s all in how, when, and where you use them.

Now, if I were to take two pistols as a Heavy, I might be somewhat inconvenienced. Still probably try it at least once though…
