Pichii Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 What if... We allowed blunderbuss to load 2 shots at the cost of spread and some damage? (Both fired at once) Or in reverse, load 2 shots as extra powder for more range/damage? Black powder weapons (Which is what I think this is mimiced as) can actually do similar things. You can add more powder for penetration and range, albeit the accuracy is reduced. You can also add larger balls for more impact power. How about a little blunderbuss love if its going to be a staple weapon instead of a scraped object now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raestloz Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Might work as a different type of ammo instead of loading 2 shots at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaster_Yoda Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Indeed, there is definitely room for an addition to ammo/weapons from Blunderbuss to Shotgun. Over under black powder rifle comes to mind. A bit harder to code than a double barrel shotgun (which I haven't taken the time to figure out how both barrels fire at once, random?, I have rarely used it preferring to sneak attack with a bow and pistil early game.)

SenpaiThatIngnoresYou Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 My understanding is that the real blunderbusses used any random crap as ammo. so instead of blunder buss ammo, it just used one gunpowder and : a stone, a seed, or scrap metal; then it would be a more interesting weapon. You would have 4 ammo choices: one of the mentioned three or a "random" choice where it just randomly pulled something from that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 The BB ammo had multiple recipes like that once upon a time. No one ever used any other than the stone one... Not going to re-introduce recipes that we know no one is going to use. =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really a fair comparison as people now actually use the blunderbuss a lot right now while back then it was more of a curiosity you used for fun once in a while.

Gazz Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 It's very fair. When given a choice between using stone or metal, players using a BB always chose stone. It's pointless bringing back clutter like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pApA^LeGBa Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Yeah just ignore the fact that the use of the BB propably went up by 1000% right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

August Spies Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I carry 2 or 3 and rotate between shoots, like a pirate. arrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacyn Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I think the blunderbuss could do with an alternate ammo type that causes bleeding and maybe does slightly more damage, it existed in a mod that I believe is now outdated. I would also like it if we got some T0 (or T1? IDK what the blunderbuss is considered) other firearms, like maybe a makeshift bolt action rifle and a flintlock pistol.
