What we know

(DouglasDanger) #1

I noticed a lot of topics ask the same things, and we don’t have a stickied FAQ thread. Could this become a thing?

Does Brink use some kind of “true ballistics?” Are shots fired hit scanned? Do bullets penetrate?

How many different tattoos are there? Are all of the tattoos full body themes?

How many guns? I have heard no double pistols and no sniper rifles. Is that true?

Body type is separate from combat role, correct? You can a heavy body type and use that guy for any of the roles, right?

I think ill add a few questions as well.

(1) Are there color pallets for weapons? Or is the customization limited to parts?

(2) Is there going to be a selection of hairstyles for characters? Or are all headpieces a part of sets?

(3) Since the game is using Steamworks, will it be using Steam’s built in VOIP?

(4) Will preorder bonuses be available as in game purchases, or as free from the start choices?

Double (akimbo) pistols maybe in there, sniper rifles no, but you can midrange snipe

Body type is separate from combat role, correct?

Correct, is separated from the class…You can be a heavy body type and use that guy for any of the roles,

You have skins for the weapons…separated fromk the parts customization

I think i’ve seen sniper rifles mentioned in weapons lists of different pages, but not here. Also theres a few vids showin sniping, plus the Opening Cinematic.

Whats the source on the sniper rifles? I keep seeing ppl say theres no rifles after a Gametrailers Video where they mention a few weapons but not all.

A very early comment by Radho in the Q&A thread. He meant that there wouldn’t be a sniper rifle as such you can find in ETQW, one that can kill people over several miles.

No sniper rifles, just scoped mid-range sniping

So . . .

Of the guns that we know, theres the Drognav Light Rifle.
Its default stats suggest its pretty sniperish.

Speaking of the stats - is there any official info on the Stability stat?

(SebaSOFT) #9

It usually refers to the kickback of a gun and the spread of the bullets. More stability should mean less spread.
