Let's try out some weapon changes on the test servers. The main goal at the moment is to make people use the rifles more. That means making them more powerful in comparison to the pistols.
All three public beta servers are currently running the settings listed below. The numbers are the spread values, so lower number means better accuracy. These numbers are not meant to be final, but will be tweaked based on feedback and testing.
- Code: Select all
Pistols 1.0 beta servers
-------------------------------------
Remington 58 300 400
Schofield 350 450
Peacemaker 300 400
Rifles 1.0 beta servers
-------------------------------------
Winchester 1866 250 150
Colt Lightning 275 200
It's hard to test this properly against just bots, so I'm hoping that people will play some matches on the test servers. Give it a go, then post your impression of the weapon changes in this thread.
