I've been thinking about how battle rifles basically make it pretty much pointless to get the assault rifles... as they're strictly better. Then the idea struck me... since they enjoy sporting rifle ranges and calibre while also enjoying the full-auto abilities of assault rifles... why not merge them in a wierd way with the in-game skills.
Put simply... the character uses the LOWER of his automatics or longarms skills. He effectively needs both skills to use the weapons to their full potential. (the classic buy only automatics and maybe pistols gunbunnies... will have trouble with that, while the less min-maxed guys with the weapon groups will make out nicely). Thoughts... A similar idea could be put towards SMGs... if used single handed--- use the worse of the automatics or pistols skill. It helps limit the classic automatics as the one true gun skill which you never need any other if it only fully applies to machine-pistols and assault rifles. |
