Unlock the Flintlock by default #16

deferred-impact commented 2 years ago

Why is the Flintlock locked behind... LEVEL 35?!!?! REALLY?

Why it should be unlocked for everyone:

the Rocket is the default unlocked throwable. The Flintlock is basically the same shit. If the Rocket is unlocked, why is the Flintlock locked?
Flint is a rather... low power weapon. It's not terrible by any means, but there are better secondary guns available. The Crossbow is simply stronger on paper, and the Burst Pistol is just in a totally different league
at the same time, by insta unlocking the Flint you would offer good players a well balanced, properly skillful """sniper""" weapon

If the Flintlock is the same as Rocket Launcher then why would you need both at level one?

deferred-impact commented 2 years ago

Well, it's similar, but obviously it's not the same. Rocket has very little ammo, instakills, takes 2 seconds to reload and slows you down a lot. None of that is true for the Flint

NOTGregory commented 2 years ago

Flint is just like rocket but harder to use. It makes sense for it to be unlockable by default, or at like level 5-10 which is easily achievable. Good suggestion.

Allowing the flintlock to be unlocked by default also allows for variety in side arm weapons for new players, similar to how for primary weapons, 1 weapon of each type is unlocked (9mm SMG for smgs, m4 for rifles, etc.). It would also give new players more opportunity to experiment with weapon synergy and really find what weapon class they like.

Gonna mark this as consensus for now, if anyone decides this suggestion is shit feel free to say so and we can get back to discussing
