Vroomhoff Posted Nov 5, 2012, 7:27 pm	I read somewhere that some weapons get continuous fire bonuses, while other weapons do not. Is there a list somewhere? I'd like to update the wiki, if someone could link relevant info, or spill it.
*JD_Basher* jd.basher@charter.net Posted Nov 6, 2012, 2:29 am	This is the only spot in the wiki that mentions the bonus... http://www.darkwindwiki.com/index.php?title=Using_Weapons ALL weapons get the sustained targeting and sustained fire bonus. (Except for dropped weapons.) edit:.. The bonus is broken when you lose targeting by turning your car away from the target.
Groove Champion Posted Nov 11, 2012, 10:01 pm	All weapons get a bonus from continuous fire, but ballistic weapons get a bigger bonus. (This is occasionally mentioned on the loading screen when entering an event)
lordhuey Posted Nov 12, 2012, 5:40 am	Sustained fire is hugely important. If you hover your pointer over your weapon in the "Manage" screen, the "Chance of a perfect shot" notation will show you, from one shot to the next, how quickly your chances improve with each shot. I know this is newbie advice. But it took me a while to realize the usefulness of that notation. Watching the readout, you quickly see which weapons go from "not much" to "excellent" the fastest.
Necrotech Posted Nov 12, 2012, 6:45 am	even better Under the manage screen in combat.. look for that purple line under your weapon.. the more filled that line is (starts off as white) greater your chances of hitting are
musashi_san Posted Nov 12, 2012, 1:56 pm	only thing that i would add to this is that the purple bar does not take into account intervening terrain that might block the shot...
*Rev. V* Posted Nov 13, 2012, 11:02 am	"only thing that i would add to this is that the purple bar does not take into account intervening terrain that might block the shot... " Oh yeah...that can be a real heartbreaker. Especially if you're low on ammo and you waste a "sure shot" into some terrain if you're not paying attention.....
*Bastille* Posted Nov 13, 2012, 12:34 pm	the target lines from the car are always good to pay attention to, but don't bother if you are a goat they like to shoot dirt
DieselCougar Posted Nov 13, 2012, 1:26 pm	Thought goats, like to eat dirt, along with everything else?

With newbie gunners sustained fire is extremely important. To my dismay, Krak kept making me change targets constantly during a scout today. At one point I went from consistently hitting a far away target to consistently missing a target only half as far away.
*StCrispin* ce.services.mh@gmail.com Posted Dec 16, 2012, 9:03 am	DW Zen Philosophical thought: Is it better to strike a far away foe who is no danger to me? or Miss a nearby foe who wants to spit roast me over my own burning wreckage?

While it is a good idea to take tactical advice from more experienced players early on, you don't necessarily have to follow orders. A squad is not a military unit, and you did not sign on to operate under someone else's command. Never forget who's driving your car.

BrassFactory Posted Dec 16, 2012, 6:01 pm	I think Krakhedd does a better job of job of role playing a post-apocalyptic ganger than most. Juan gives him a run for his money when he gets in to conspiracy theory. But really, there should be a newbie topic that says continuous fire bonus takes precedence over orders from musicians.
Groove Champion Posted Dec 16, 2012, 7:05 pm	Yep: insulting my mother's good RP.

Or implying she is Illuminati world elite alien ruling class conspiritors with Zombies?  That mixes conspiracy and role play.  I win! Long live the Novus Ordo Moronic!  (the new order of morons) Not saying anyone is a moron.  Im more off than on.
*The X Man* Posted Dec 17, 2012, 2:14 am	[/quote] It seems that it is always a mistake to listen to Krak.[/quote] SO, as a public service announcement, we are just supposed to say "NO" to Krak???? lol
*StCrispin* ce.services.mh@gmail.com Posted Dec 17, 2012, 2:25 am	I think Krak rocks.
Groove Champion Posted Dec 17, 2012, 2:32 am	That would settle the question, as far as I'm concerned...
*StCrispin* ce.services.mh@gmail.com Posted Dec 17, 2012, 2:47 am	Man, I need some pictures from that last scout Krack and I lost. First pic, Krak in his landy. Subtitle: this is Krak. The following picture, Krack bouncing all over, out of control. Subtitle: this is Krak on crack. Third picture, (photoshopped) Krak's windy sitting on top of his landy playing piggyback with mutant rats all around and Krak's crew on top with guns drawn. Sub title: this is Krak on Krak. Last pic, dead mutilated peds and fat happy rats. Subtitle: Doing Krak kills.
