    M4's, Shotguns, Mp5's just to name a few...

    These are just some of the common easy to make guns rust as to offer, (Are they OP?)

    Should we next ask for M203 (Grenade launchers) attachments, M16's, 100 round mag machine guns (AR-RPK'S), 50 cal sniper's or even Dessert Eagles??? (Tanks jets helicopters??)


    In my opinion i don't want rust to follow that path...

    I think the weapons should look post Apocalyptic, meaning rusty and old looking..

    Gun's i believe that would suit rusts play style, Semi auto carbines,Bolt action sniper rifles or rifles, Double barrel shotguns, cross bows (just a few off the top of my head)

    I would like to see guns/bullets Much, much, much more harder to make/find. (Especially modern weapons)

    HAVE YOUR SAY :D

    sniper rifles would be hyper over powered and abused to shit.

    Desert eagles are horrible jammy pieces of shit in reality and over modernifying the game will not only make the already "Meh" community into a group of underage genuine twats and the game play will only be totally shit on

    that being said yes, we need more bows, swords, crossbows, "Home made" shot guns/etc.



    if I made a "Post apoc" game guns like that would liter the game. Bolt action scopeless rifles would be the biggest one as well, but it would mostly very much have a huge set of hyper-customizable guns, even flintlock style. Anything to make a metal pebble to shoot can be made with scrap give or take.

    In my idea Scopes will be available, but hyper rare and bolt actions are poor for close range / are hard to find ammo for. Home made scopes are possible however don't do very much good.

    To be honest, I am tired of people asking for "New" modern and "classic" guns to be added.
    What I think needs to be done is a change, instead of modern / classic weapons, I agree there should be more apocalyptic weapons such as: pipe guns, crossbows, gas can explosives, glass jar of exploding nails, and etc.

    You know what we need?

    Guns that occasionally jam up.

    Might make people consider their actions before they spew lead everywhere. There's a chance your motive to kill might backfire on you (ha pun).

    Also, I think the name Rust applies well here.

    I have to say I kinda enjoy the guns when they are shiny and nice, and I really enjoy the graphics and animations of them. Why not make the guns you can find around the place new? and player crafted-old. Just because its post-whatever does not mean every new gun in the map was wiped out. There are airship drops too. Make the guns you find shiny and new and the guns you make rusty and old with lesser specs.

    The idea is good, i just think that it will make the large grps stronger (since they have numbers to take drops) and solo and small grps will end up with the lower end weapons, meaning the chance to fight the larger grps will be harder.

    Well isn't that the point of having a large group? To be srong?
    I agree, the player crafted guns should be shitty as hell.
    And the ones found by air drops or loot would be ww2-modern.

    Also, what would be nice if the loot spawn would differ, cause everyone just barricades themselves in a bulding and takes it, that seems kindof like a exploit to me.

    Or is that already fixed by placing radiation in the loot spawn ones?

    If gun mechanics aren't going to change, their appearance should at least. Older guns would look pretty cool in this game.

    I think you shouldn't be able to craft a M4 or specific weapon. Because really, who da fuck can build a M4?
    You should find "real" weapons (like the M4, MP5, ...) and you should only be able to craft some aweful quality guns. (Like them from J!NX and klans10).

    PS: i'm from germany so don't be a grammar nazi... or don't be a nazi at all. ;)

    I haven't got to play yet so my input is relatively worthless. But I can say that I've been surprised by this thread and a few others as I've been reading over the forums in my excitement. I had no idea guns were so prevalent in Rust. The only real pic I've seen of Rust is that one pic of the twisted branch bow with that crude arrow. That pic said everything I needed to know about Rust. I wanted IN on that game. To find out that C4 and modern guns are relatively easy to acquire has been a bit of a bummer. Has certainly cooled my jets on trying to score one of the keys from the auction. I was really hoping Rust was one thing but its looking like its quite another beast altogether.

    It all kinda depends on Rust's eventual backstory. How long since the first zombies? If it's like The Walking Dead where the zombies only appeared recently, guns would still be in normal condition.

    Apologies, Perhaps i could of worded the poll question a little differently, it seems to have caused much confusion with the public.
    But i guess the main aim of this thread is to get the community thinking and having a say on tough topic's.

    Hopefully threads like this will be acted on to some extent with enough community support.

    Thank you all for your ideas

    Hopefully the Dev's take some of the points made on board :D

    End game weapons and gear is to easy to craft. I think these should be made harder. Also the weapons should be more wastland like, take for instance the weapons in Fallout this is the direction weapons and gear should go. Fallout/Rust online would be sick.

    There should also be guns that are extremely rare that cannot be crafted, stuff like rifles with high powered scopes or m60's etc.

    You should be able to modify your gun how you like it is the wasteland afterall, whether its a scope attached with duct tape or welded on there should be pro's and cons to both.

    Imo, you really shouldn't have put the words "Modern Warfare" in the title of the thread.

    I don't really mind having "Modern" Weapons in rust, as documents do exist for gunsmiths to create their own guns, old and new.
    As many of the other people in this thread have expressed, i would instead of just "thrashing" the idea of these guns, bring a new aesthetic on these guns, have variations on the weapons akin to how Borderlands builds their guns, using different body groups. Having rusted magazines, half hearted stocks and barrels would in my opinion bring a whole new art style that isn't typically associated with these guns, instead of having the hoorah Call of Duty stereotype to account for. Make these art aesthetics dynamic, so differently crafted rifles will feel and sound different and hence always feel fresh.

    Say what you will about people, but there is no need for xenophobia or Discrimination.
    If a guy is a dick, it doesn't necessarily MEAN that its because a person is Canadian,american or whatever.

    Voted yes, only because the options for the poll are lacking. I'd like to see an option of "Some Modern Weapons in Moderation". I don't want Javelins, AT-4's, and M4-A3's. I'd like to see modern weapons like the AR-15, Colt 1911's, Remington 870's, and similar modern weapons that wont be too overbalanced.

    It is a bit steam punkish, while it is not my particular taste it is a good design. I just like the real gritty weapons that were shown by Brandy92.

    The only reason why there is M4's and modern weapons in rust is because they are all placeholder weapons that you can buy in the Unity Asset store. Almost all of the models are from the Unity Asset store.

    What if there were legendary weapons? What I mean by this is that say they release a special kind of gun that does slightly more damage and has a unique name. These can be placed in special locations when the server is created and they are traded around throughout the game by either trades or through killing the current owner. With this they could add a mechanic which would cause it to degrade when not being used often in order to prevent someone from simply leaving it in their storage box. I feel like introducing this type of mechanic would create an interesting dynamic if done properly.

    My idea would be to make guns into a more late-game class of items.

    Early game ranged weapons could be rocks (throwing) and slings.
    This would give stone a proper use and of course we already have bows as well.

    Firearms could also come in 2 variaties:
    - found weapons
    - self-made weapons

    Found weapons could be dropped from airdrops or found elsewhere on the map.
    The guns could be the current, modern looking, ones. However, they cannot be crafted and should be made rare. Found weapons are accurate, quick to reload and require found ammo, as forging some .556 rounds in your toolshed just isn't realistic.

    Self-made firearms would be improvised weapons. Their accuracy would be low, their reload times would be long. The damage however, could be scary and the shots aren't as expensive as the found weapons'.
    Historicaly, people are known to have loaded all kinds of metal into schrapnel shots.
    Knives, forks, nails, pieces of coin, anything. These shots have a huge spread radius and, if they actually manage to hit the target, cause massive damage. (Note: only a portion of the damage will hit if it's a schrapnel shot, so these weapons are close range)

    Self-made weapons could use various types of ammunition. Round shot or schrapnel shots are probably the easiest to make if you actually had to craft it yourself.
    I'd say they should use bolt action, pump action or similar mechanisms.

    It would be really awesome if they did something like this:
    So the player crafted weapons are really homemade looking, rusty, taped together, etc. They would resemble weapons from Fallout very closely. When you first craft a weapon, it has a very generic appearance and generic name ("Rusty Assault Rifle", perhaps).
    I know this is unrealistic (but come on, it's a game! deal with it), but perhaps as you get kills with a weapon you gain experience with that weapon (NOT overall experience mind you, experience is per-weapon). It would almost be like you are getting accustomed to that particular weapon.
    As you become more experienced with the weapon, the weapon "levels up" or something. Every time the weapon levels up, you can use Metal Scraps to upgrade or change some part of the weapon. Once you pass some level in experience with that weapon, you can then give the weapon a name.
    Imagine killing another player and finding a decked-out assault rifle named "Leaden Death" on their corpse.

    Good ideas here! Maybe the Weapons should stuck (like in FarCry) or fall apart randomly.
    Gives the Game more authentic.
