This patch adds the long-awaited submachinegun and the grenade belt. I implemented the "grenade belt" as a 5-ammo weapon, rather than having you buy individual grenades. The coding was simpler that way and I didn't allow for fractional bulks. We didn't want a grenade to be as bulky as a rifle.
The grenade took a bit of work, and possibly needs some balancing. It's hard to get the targeting code to predict what's going to happen since a grenade is on a 3-turn fuse. Let me know when you have tried them out. I'll also be adding fused (rather than proximity) mines soon. |

Are they only available as exclusive loot items, or can we buy them?
I would prefer the former to begin with, but that may just be me. |

I too would like them to be loot only items but Sam has not included ped weapons in loot yet (needs to be added but figure its on the to do list=)

I feel it should be exactly the reverse - make them common as dirt for the first week (RP explanation = someone found a huge cache of them; OOC explanation = more in play gives more to test with), then dry it up once they work as intended. |

I just made them into regular, reasonably common items that will start to appear in the NPC shops. The same rarity as crossbows. | ||

Thanks! I've been on hiatus a bit recently, but I'd like to try these out. Why do the rest of you want these weapons to be hard to get? Let's see some hand-weapon variety, sheesh! :P Edit: Cripes, nevermind, I get it after seeing what Jack is charging for his grenade belts. It's a plea for another monopoly. I bought them anyway, but what a rip off!
