I keep forgetting the ice pick exists as a katana alternative. Gonna have to see how the IZHMA and Predator work in my crit dodge silent shotgun build now. :getin:

Edit: Predator was meh, but with the help of a very tiny Gruber Kurz you can end up with a 40 ACC/92 STB IZHMA with 4 detection risk. :unsmigghh: And I can always swap back to the Raven/Beagle for more punch while keeping at 4 DR. I really underestimated (or maybe just plain forgot) Aced Optic Illusions' ability to let you skip Aced Sneaky Bastard/Low Blow entirely.

What can you really do to make single shot snipers interesting though? Increase penetration percentage on head shots of multiple cops? Have a 10% trigger for the bullet curving to lock on another special in the area?

That's because it is. The most glaring example, in my opinion, is the reload speed skill. There's a very similar skill in Oppressor that gives you a reload speed buff that last indefinitely if you score two kills. The Sharpshooter version demands a killing headshot for 2s of +40% reload. The killing headshot thing is fine. The reload speed bonus is fine. But a 2s limit, when basically all of the other reload speed skills are indefinite? Come the gently caress on, Overkill.

Mark and execute feature from red dead redemption for the top tier. Aced increases number of cops targeted.

Just give them ricocheting bullets that only reflect off of cop helmets, but it only works in single-shot mode. maybe like basic ricochet would reflect three times, whereas aced would let the bullet reflect six times.

I don't know if they unborked it since beta, but I was able to get the reload speed buff to be activated by a headshot, kill not necessary.

Marksmen tree is for tactical reloads, Oppressor is for magdumps reloads.

I'm down to 35 achievements to 100% this....of those, 16 are currently undoable because I either am too cheap to buy the DLC or they're calendar gated (I have none of the Halloween ones).

Interesting. Text for the skill hasn't changed, so something somewhere isn't right. Regardless, my point stands.

gyrobot posted:

I mean, you could play it that way, but you certainly don't have to. It's not like it's hard to practice tactical reloads with automatic rifles. You have much more flexibility with the Oppressor skill than you do the Sharpshooter skill, period.

It would also be cheaper to just take the Berserker skill that boosts your reload speed on a melee kill. And guess what? That buff lasts indefinitely, too. One of these skills isn't like the other. It's much worse.

It's not a serious suggestion, it's just something I made last year. It's specifically coded to only work with revolvers, as well as a special ability that instantly kills any enemy you shoot 6 times without missing. :ocelot:

hey, anything to pressure Overkill to give us akimbo revolvers

they'd finally have to add a laser for the Bronco!


e: also, Dead By Daylight. It's 1v4, and it's the type of survival horror/fright/jumpscare poo poo where the survivors have literally no weapons and can only run away from the hunter, who runs faster, so they have to use environmental stuff like boards and windows to duck him. It's extremely brutal - not in a ha ha fun way or even the ridiculousness of the Payday flamethrower, but more like "you literally chop people with a giant bloody axe, then impale someone on a meathook and watch them get eaten by some sort of weirdo spider demon god lord thing." It's visceral, and not in a way I like.

Also because it's basically pvp instead of the co-op funtimes relaxing with your friends and having fun - the Payday experience - it's like, let's violently loving murder your friends instead! That may be for some people, but for me it has the twin problems of being not a very good game (sorry DBD developers) AND a gameplay experience based on making you scared for your virtual life instead of having fun with your friends.

so now I know how steam refunds work :shrug:

like I have nothing against most pvp games - lord knows most of my gaming history is pvp games - but DBD was a "not only no, but hell no" inside of 15 minutes. It's designed to jack up your stress, not be a fun goodtimes experience.

That one wasn't too bad and would probably be rather interesting with Oppressor being a thing. I'd run people through that one.

vv This is false, since I actually started after the BBQ Pack and I totally cheated all the 'get 4 people to wear 4 masks from this DLC pack' achievements (because those are stupid).

All the new/returning folks: If you need/want an achievement, just mention it. Most of the goon veterans will happily drag you through it - at the very least to pay it forward from when someone else dragged us through it.

DW is literally the easiest it's ever been and the least bullshit it's ever been - the two aren't the same thing, but they're both true. You are now a heist wizard who can run at the speed of light, dodge or tank shots, regenerate health from murdering enemies, fire absurdly powerful guns while sprinting and then shouting people back to life through a wall, and standing on random small red things means nothing can kill you dead unless they kill you twice, and they even backed off on the one enemy type who could kill you in 0.14 seconds. What do you want besides that? :v:
