trombonaught Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Like the title says. I put out a melee Close Range Penalty video a week ago, and now with my first dive into guns it seems they play by the same rules. My gunfighting just got that much better.

If anything I would think the middle range would have the best damage (no zombie in your face, not straining accuracy at long range). But hey, no reason not to exploit it!

Pandorea Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Good video! May I ask which version of the game this is referencing? (pretty sure we've submitted/tested a fix for this issue..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(pretty sure we've submitted/tested a fix for this issue..) Oh no haha. This was in the current stable, 41.77.9 I think. I'll keep my eye on the next few patch notes, thanks for the heads up. Related to this, I noticed that the shotgun damage isn't using part of the code that looks like close range should deal more damage. Instead, it only hits with more projectiles. The unused variable is line 4508 in processHitDamage of IsoGameCharacter, it runs all the calculations to create a damage modifier for rangeFallOff weapons but then it never applies the modifier (so its just running the unused code). Do you know if that's also getting addressed with the range/damage fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
