A fix to the might-be bug that prevents 12-gauge bean bags from working.
- Permissions and credits
So, one day i was buying ammo from Mick and Ralphs, and I notice the 12-Gauge Bean-Bag rounds. After using them I immediatly noticed something. My victims test subjects were dying. I decided I was ok with it until I started fighting Deathclaws. People said the absolute best way to kill them was with bean bag rounds. Obviously I couldn't do so, so I looked into it.
What I found is that the base fatigue damage of the bean bag rounds is 250, a moderate amount of fatigue damage. To make sure the rounds are balanced, Obsidian places a Damage Modifier on the rounds, 0.05 or 5%. Which makes sense, until you factor in the fact that the damage modifier also affected the Fatigue, bringing that shiny 250 down to 12.5. This means that:
1) They did less than half the damage of the Boxing Gloves (30)
2) That the base damage of the shotgun was higher. I remember somebody on the forums once posted the lowest damage of any shotgun. It was in the mid-20s I think. But that meant that the rounds killed faster than they K/Od.
3) That it would take about 7 shots to kill a giant rat, the weakest enemy I can think of.
Between these I assumed this was not intended, and the original 250 was the correct fatigue damage. So I set about fixing it. I couldn't remove the damage modifier, because then the rounds would be REALLY overpowered. So I changed the fatigue damage to 5000, which is to say, 20 * 250.
So now the rounds have their intended stats, and I have a new problem. They are OP. Like really really really OP. One shot is enough to knock out the standard enemy for half a minute. So now I need feedback. Do you think the vanilla rounds were the intended values? If not what do you think the new values should be? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks and enjoy my 5 minutes of labor!
Also - What do you guys think about a tranquilizer gun/ammo type? I'm no good at texturing or modelling so idk about the gun, but it would be pretty easy to make like a .308 Tranquilizer Round.
