A "sharpshooter" Trait

[TenLetterz]

This trait should be based on increased aim.

 

Now before anyone says it's too op, there obviously should be some drawbacks.

 

The trait should be extremely expensive costing around, or more than, 30 worth points.

 

The increased aim should also depend on the gun. For instance:

-Pistols should be nearly, but not fully, accurate when crouched, standing still, and aiming. This should also apply with smgs and assault rifles (if a pistol, assault rifle, or smg is nearly accurate when crouched, standing still, and aiming, then the accuracy should be full).

-Rifles should be fully accurate when crouched and standing without having to scope (if a rifle isn't fully accurate when scoped, then that rifle should be fully or nearly accurate when scoped while crouching and standing still).

-Since most shotguns don't aim, their accuracy should be increased by around 25% - 50%.

-Crossbow doesn't need any accuracy; it's a crossbow.

 

The gun reload speed should be slower by 10% - 15% to compensate for the accuracy buff.

 

I hope this idea gets considered carefully and hopefully it can be added into the game.

I think it would be easier to just increase the accuracy by 20% for everything, you can see that stat in the weapon menu. Good idea though

I don't see why people keep talking about the whole drawback thing.

 

Have it be 10% accuracy buff for 30 points then it gets the Golden +1

 

Maybe we can have the inverse for a return- 10% accuracy debuff for 5 or 10 worth

about the return, it's too similar to Palsy.

 

about the trait, imo sharpshooter should be something like "Headshots deal 15% more damage (2.0x damage up to 2.3x damage) except for melee weapons" considering a sharpshooter = similar to sniper = notorious for headshots. I don't know about the coding and the building blocks of the mod, but if accuracy values are hardcoded to the guns, adding a dynamic modifier can be difficult.

Why are we naming a trait after sharpshooter?

It's an interesting idea, but it's not really necessary in my opinion. I'm just not sure it'd make enough of a significant difference to gameplay for it to be added to the server. And I don't mean that as in bump up the increased accuracy percentage; I mean that as in like... It's not really necessary in general. But it's an interesting idea, for what it's worth. =]

i like the current accuracy rate on guns as it is. It is not hard to have accurate aim towards zombies when shooting and the only people who aren't' accurate are the ones who use spray and pray, which by the way is poor method and only does minimal damage.

Use sniper rifles and problem solved. Sounds like an interesting idea but as it was said, you can already get some good shots as it is right now. And honestly, I prefer faster reload speed
