A comment on the stats of the weapons:

We wanted to do this for our server because despite originally having about 24 guns available to players, only four would ever be used: the antimat rifle, the caravan shotgun, the CAR, and the combat shotgun. Both shotguns were one-shot kills at pretty much any practical range. The antimat rifle was always a 1-shot. The CAR would 2-shot people, but it could be fired so fast that people would seem to die in one frame on their end. They made all the other guns pointless, and everyone would basically die in one shot with no time to react or have a fair fight, which really doesn't work for an RP server.

We went through each of the weapon's stats individually and tried to balance things in the same class around each other. We decided to include the scoped service rifle in this initial group to act as a DMR, and I wanted it to be a 3-shot kill where most of the bolt action rifles are 2-shot kills (with 100 health as the reference). However, if I left the fire rate as it was it would still kill a LOT faster than the sniper rifles, and I didn't want to reduce its accuracy because I felt it should still be possible to consistently pop headshots on zombies from long range. So, I took down the fire rate instead to make it more comparable to its peers as far as minimum time-to-kill goes.

We did stat juggling like this for a lot of the guns, and as you'll see in the changelog all the stats have a <, --, or > next to them. “<” means it was reduced from it's original, “--“ means I left it alone, and “>” means it was increased. They're not totally faithful to the stats of the fallout weapons, in many cases (the tribeam and multiplas rifles being the most extreme examples, I modified them the way I did because I thought they looked friggin terrifying when firing like energy shotguns), but I think they're a bit more balanced than they were for PVP and should cut down on people seeming to die in one frame at the start of a gunfight. But they’re not done, and I’m not an expert on game balance.

So we are open to suggestions on stat changes, as this is just like, a first draft of the weapons, and I'll get around to looking at more of the weapons' stats eventually. We're also keeping an eye on how players are using these guns on our RP server and if any show up as still being clearly overpowered, they'll probably get stat changes here as well.

So go ahead and post suggestions here and we will consider them carefully, but I can’t guarantee how quickly updates will happen.
