ElCabong Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I have SMG and the full auto perk you get from reading the book. It seems to me that the SMG should not need it but it's it's a semi-automatic. In use, it doesn't make any difference but if I want to get that 10% bonus should I put the fully automatic mod on it?

BFT2020 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) What full auto perk? From Pistol Pete -AP Ammo -HP Ammo -Increase durability -Swiss knees - leg shots stacking -Take aim - improve range when using sights (not hip firing) -Steady hand - reduces spread when rapid firing - does not required the auto mod -Damage - straight damage buff -Completion - ignores armor and causes bleed affects All these are applied to items tagged 9mmGun (which includes the SMG) If you are talking automatic weapons books, they don't apply to pistols (only for items tagged with perkBookAutoWeapons or Automatic weapon specific properties).

ElCabong Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 I guess perk is the wrong word. It's in one of those books that has Dirty Harry on the front. I forget what it's called. But it is book number one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're now confusing three book series. Automatic Weapons Handbook, Pistol Pete and Magnum Enforcer. Each set applies to exactly one set of weapons: Automatic Weapons Handbook = Pipe Machine Gun*, AK-47, Tactical Assault Rifle and M60 Pistol Pete = Pipe Pistol*, Pistol, SMG-5 Magnum Enforcer = .44 Magnum, Desert Vulture * I'm not sure if the Pipe versions are properly affected, but if they are, that's how they would be. None of the book sets applies to Any of the Other groups of weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melange Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Gotta admit it's taken me more than a few game hours to sort that out (not looking under the hood of the code). But considering the level of discourse from Elcabong, he's probably trolling, just a bit. Put Baba Louie in the library and have him report back. lol. It's alright. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElCabong Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 I am not trolling this time. This is from the automatic weapon handbook volume 1. Automatic weapons do 10% more damage. I would think that the SMG would be an automatic weapon. Perhaps it is not a fully automatic weapon and I need to put the full Auto mod in it to get that 10% damage bonus. 9 hours ago, theFlu said: Isn't that Magnum Enforcer?

I do apologize for being vague but I really couldn't remember what it was and had to do some digging. Perhaps it is not and I need to put the full auto mod in it to get that 10% damage bonus. Whem I make these vulture posts I'm not trolling. It's my diary on how I live my life in the game. I guess you could call that a troll post but I don't think it is.

Crater Creator Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 You can just assume there’s no cross-pollination among weapon classes like that. An SMG is a pistol in this game, period, and a book that affects ‘automatic weapons’ only affects the assault rifle class, even if the in game text is ambiguous or imprecise. Everything fits neatly in its box, which is how we get weird logic like machetes that aren’t good for chopping wood, but I digress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pernicious Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 "Learn from top military expert Leonard 'Sarge' Barton how to shoot, maintain, and maximize your skill with 7.62mm automatic weapons." Those books only apply to 7.62 automatics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will Not work, nothing in the game will change the type of a gun - with regards to books or skills at least.

BFT2020 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 FYI I don’t think any of the perk books require a mod in your weapon for it to apply, though I haven’t check too closely. I believe that they only look for a specific weapon tag or affect specific weapon properties. They do though unlock some mod crafting recipes.
