Good to see, Thanks for the update

[abysse]

Wonderfull update, Really nice job.

Does drugs do something on that or it's based on your base ? ( Like support perk )

[Gavared]

Good job man, keep up the good work 

[makeman]

Thanks for the update. A small issue but yet an issue: anything being done about the useless .22 Hunter ammo spawning on enemies who use Hunting Rifle? Or that goes to the "other crap" category?

[Mighty]

Wow, nice !

Updated critical table is available here:

And where the old table to compare?

[carnack]

Good job, but maybe the pancor is useless now. I agree with the knockdown but the burst reducement is just too much for pancor to still be competetive against xl70e3 or even p90 . This looks like the caravans will be very fun.

Cubik said he changed it to .223, but it's not included in his part of changelog, so you've got to check it yourself.

Btw I completely forgot to add new faction names, I'll add them tomorrow.

[Strike]

IMO this is best update so far, was about to have some changes to Pancor Jackhammer.

New enemies, need check them out

[Furior]

Good work with warehouse.

I dont like stonewall, now its a must have... and other perks like Man of steel cant compete with stonewall. I really think something must be done here

Also I dont really understand shotguns ammo. We have 1 "expensive" ammo, the green one. And we have the cheaper version, the purple..... Why is purple much better than green one? ? ? ? ? Just remove green ammo... Purple gives you -25 DR; Green gives you -20 DR and you lose 25% damage, wtf??? Btw, why are all shotgun ammo "armor piercing" type?

[carnack]

Yes the stonewall should give 50%, now its very good perk. The green ammo for shotgun is useless right now.

[manero]

Little test of current shotgun's ammo:

[Ivic777]

Well good job and great update, but it sux cuz pancor will still knockdown bursters, most of bursters dont have stonewall and even if have, 20% is nothing, but still good think that dmg is nerfed.

[DocAN]

green ammo is vs AC trolls

[Furior]

I dont think no one would take (and craft) 2nd type of ammo just because you could find some AC trolls. So green ammo its pointless, it will jsut confuse players who dont know about game mechanics (DR, DM, etc...)

This is very important question...
