Nibelung44 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi, Just wanted to know if firearms lose punching power in addition to accuracy with distance? I don't think so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhail Ragulin Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 They do lose power, with the exception of the sniper rifle and rocket launcher. Their damage isn't scaled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 For clarity, that only applies when shooting beyond maximum effective range. Shots within the weapon's range have the same damage regardless of distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhail Ragulin Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 And max effective range is indicated by the aim line changing colour from green to yellow...I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yeah, that's right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibelung44 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Glad to know! It only applies to ballistic weapons or it applies to all non 'heavy' weapons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 It applies to all weapons of any tech tier except the precision/sniper weapons and explosive weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikhail Ragulin Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Apparently not. I just checked, and it's only the ballistic sniper and the rocket launcher. And the alien plasma cannon. So only tier one...which smells like a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabill Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Yeah, I'm fairly certain all precision weapons should be the same (since higher tech weapons are basically just damage buffs). In terms of explosive weapons, I'm 95% sure that grenades are set correctly, which means the only other oddity is the Particle Cannon (or whatever it is). I guess there's a case to be made that this could do reduced damage beyond effective range, but it would be inconsistent with similar weapons (e.g. Plasma Cannon).
