I was thinking Jerry rigged weapons, like spears, slingshots, etc.

oh im ok with making mass production weaponry out of metal ore with my bare hands
Lol, I'm pretty sure we would all do that in an apocalypse. XD

I think that they should focus on the basic game right now(Stabilizing the server getting rid of those pesky speed hackers and how you can float through walls) , instead of adding in additional weaponry. Don't have a key but I read a lot of the posts
Sorry for spam I had to multi click quick reply

Its fine
would be cool to see primative weapons
and guns more respected
and ammo scarce
The thread that is "stickied" at the top of the forum so it doesn't get hidden: http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1283939
bolt action hunting rifles sound good
A couple of old machine guns you can put on your tower and fire away.
kidding.
A couple of different assault rifle skins just for personal taste would be fine. The list of guns available now is actually fine with me.
i actually really like the weapons how they are now, and as much as i'd love a sniper rifle it would be OP since the only thing i dislike about the weapons is the range of how far the bullets travel, m4's seem to have the most range and will always win against long range engagements if the other person has a 9mm ammo using gun since the bullets just dont travel that far... this is an issue that should really be dealt with in the near future.
Sniper rifles but you have to build.your own scope
MG42
I would prefer some kind of melee or throwable weapons, couse guns should be in this game valuable, same goes for ammo, the gun could 1-2shot kill someone but ammo should be limmited or hard to aquire, you can then bluff with empty gun just to scare people off. But again, i think that this is late game issue, now is primary to stabilize servers and fix bugs.... etc.
MG3,that needs 2 people to build and place it.It's a mounted machine gun,that cannot be operated by one person.
Throwing Knives,Spears,Javelins
how about some more melee? like machetes, hunting knives, basball bats etc.
But if you're looking for guns, i would implement like a crossbow or something, maybe a sniper rifle.
We need the weapons we craft to jam more, i'd never be able to craft military grade weapons using nothing but a camp fire and a bunch of rocks lying around.
I'd love to see makeshift shotguns from old pipe and springs and nails.
did you seriously tell that to Craptasket
my sides are full of shitting my pants atm
Make at least one sniper rifle but make it hard to get. That way you can reward the good players by giving them good guns.
The ability to make a scopeless sniper rifle seems fine by me as long as the scope is so difficult to obtain and can only be found, not crafted, that it would essentially be a hunting rifle.
Or in contrast just make hunting rifles and do the above idea for scopes.

Its alpha and these are more or less just place holders.
I'd say some makeshift weapons ala Metro 2033 would fit perfectly given the way weapons are crafted in the game. This would require the weapon modeller to get creative though.
As for melee, maybe more specialized gathering weapons? Like an actual axe to gather wood from trees faster, a pickaxe to gather more materials from stones and a butcher's knife to gather more food and cloth from animals.
For sniper rifles, I don't like the idea of a perfect sniper rifle seeing how easy it would be to kill someone at a distance in the game, my previous house overlooked a ton of other houses and if I had a sniper rifle I could pick everyone in the other houses through the cracks in my walls.
Maybe make a sniper rifle with a huge bullet drop? Planetside 2 does this and it does make sniping at a distance pretty challenging without being bullshit hard.
Anyway, seeing how the game has a pretty short view range right now (everyone seems to disappear after 100 meters or so), I don't see snipers as being necessary until the view range increases. Assault rifles are enough for now.
I think they should add a bigger variety of pistols like .45 and .50 calibers
Makeshift or improvised weapons would be a nice touch like a 2 x 4 with nails on it.
make shift guns, huh?
l would do a google search but i'm afraid of the NSA
