Author Topic: Killing floor - Community weapons DLC  (Read 1106 times)

Some of you might or might have not noticed this but tripwire decided to take some of the workshop items and turn them into useable weapons - just so they can sell them as a DLC.

Check it out

Tripwire once said that they wouldn't sell any gameplay changing material like guns for example but since these weapons are not actually made by Tripwire itself they can just go ahead and sell community content. They do however claim that the money would go towards the original creators.

Now in the weapon pack itself there are only 4 weapons :
A Scythe for the Berserker , a Thompson SMG for the Commando , a "Flare gun" for the firebug , and a buzzsaw crossbow...for the Berserker ?

Now the only weapons that really interest me are the Flare gun as it seems like a fairly neat addition to the firebug class which is like one of the most underused classes in the game. Then there's that buzzsaw crossbow which is only available to the Berserker. Why the hell does the Berserker class get a fairly strong looking crossbow while it's actually a full melee class ?

It does tick me off that they just go and sell some rather cool looking GUNS. They don't look like reskins or anything but more like rather good new additions. I understand character skins and stuff but weapons ?

I noticed this as well and thought it was ridiculous. I suppose now we know they won't stick to their word.

What the flying forget. Why does berserker get two and the crossbow, which should obviously be for sharpshooter, go to berserker?

Exactlly what I thought.
Oh and the update also included a few free weapons including a Trench gun for the Fire bug...
It's a shotgun that fires BURNING SHELLS ! Jesus christ how original and fitting

I thought it was a bit bullstuff, but then I found out that they added the STG44 for free and I stopped caring about anything else :)

I understand that the Firebug is specialized in, well, fire, but do they really have to drill that fact into our heads by only giving him weapons that have some kind of fire effect?

If they have to do that they could at least come up with something more interesting than a gun that fires bullets/pellets that sets things on fire.

They also added special hand grenades for the medic that heal teammates and damage enemies.
Atleast that's something more original. I'm really looking forward to Medic stuff since that's my main class.
