Part 3: Episode 3 - Man About Island

Episode 3!



Our objective in Fristad Rock is just a skip away. What say we have a look around a little bit while we're here, soak in the tunes, and beat up some Eternalists?

Weapons (so far)!

Of note, there are four ammo types that are shared across various guns - Small Caliber, Large Caliber, Shells, and Nails.

Machete

Our melee option. Good damage, fast swing, no block. Satisfying to use with the speed of the game, appropriately messy.

Handguns/one-handed

The Light Infantry Machine Pistol/LIMP
-Small Caliber Ammo
-Automatic
-Feels pretty solid, though I imagine dual-wielding will chew through ammo if you're not careful.


The Tribunàl
-Small Caliber Ammo
-Semi-auto
-I will continue to pronounce this weapon's name as though the grave isn't just sitting over the a there, staring at me. Unremarkable, but it's a spiffy-looking plinking gun; does what it's supposed to.


The Fourpounder
-Large Caliber Ammo
-Semi-auto
-Supposed to be evocative of 'the revolver of the game' I suppose; it's meaty and sends folks flying. It's internally magazine-fed and has a hinged slide that looks a bit luger-like, though. Feels better on hip-shot to me but that is almost assuredly personal preference.


The PT-6 'Spiker'
-Nails
-Charged shot/semi-auto
-Completely silent, great for stealth kills. Hold fire to charge up a shot, release to let a nail flyin'. Doesn't seem to have nail drop but does appear to have projectile time rather than hitscan? Further testing required. Using it in a crowded fight feels like crying while wearing makeup: everyone is looking at you and that just makes it worse

Shotguns

Vopat Trencher
-Shotgun shells
-Pump-action
-A slow-firing, aim-forgiving, room-clearing shotgun. If you're close enough to say hello to someone you're close enough to kill them by waving this in their general direction. Reloads one shell at a time, which can get me in a bit of a pickle!


Strelak 50-50
-Shotgun shells
-Semi/Full Auto
-Kills folks in one shot like a shotgun oughta. Drawbacks include the headache of me, neither a gun nut nor an engineer, trying to imagine how it feeds and fires both barrels. Must be hell on the ammo count if you really go for it.

Rifles

MG-1 'Pepper Mill'
-Small Caliber Ammo
-Full Auto
-Chunky damage, it feels like, compared to our other small-caliber guns. As I mentioned I have some trepidation about this one just with how damn fast it goes through my pockets; some trinkets would likely help that out a lot though.


Rapiér
-Large Caliber Ammo
-Single-shot
-A long-distance, accurate, single-shooting Eternalist eraser. Sounds like a cannon and hits like one too. Like any proud parent from the American Midwest, I am allowed to have a favorite child.
