Weapon upgrades

First time out of the vault
I think that idea of upgreadable weapon is pretty cool. I mean upgrades like improved rate of fire, enlarged magazine etc.
 
This is already implemented in Fallout 1 and 2, I think it's safe to assume it'll return to Fallout 3.
 
Yeah sure... I know it :) But it can heve more options than in F2...
Upgreaded weapons in F2 were a bit expensive and they were not much better than before upgrade...
 
Maybe it will be useful, if the hero could upgrade the weapons himself. Using some skill(s) (for example: repair, science, weapon skill(small, big, energy, melee e.t.c.) and some parts.
4 example to upgrade Spear to Double Spear you need Repair 50%, Science 60%, Melee Weapons 65%, rope and a piece of sharp metal.

I think that'll be very useful at the early stages of the game. Who knows... 8)
 
Yeah, that would be really cool if you could tinker with your weapons using your repair or science skill;

You'd need to have the right parts and you could use schematics similar to Arcanum... On a really good roll you modify your weapon better then normal, on a passing roll you modify it, on a poor roll you modify it worse then normal and on a critical miss you destroy the weapon.

That would be so cool, but I dunno if they'd want to steal a page from Arcanum like that.
 
Personally, I always wanted Fallout to have some shadowrun elements in it. Not magic, not megacorporations, not Deckers but weapon thinkering shops ala Shadowrun for the genesis. I didn't say cyberware because I can feel Rosh lighting the flamer.
 
How about like in Jagged Alliance? Each weapon has upgrade slots. You can find upgrade parts and make your own. Some can be move from gun to gun with others are perminate upgrades.
 
I agree, JA, I like the idea of doing lots of different things to my guns and being able to take the scope or whatever from one and put it on another if need be,
 
Well, they did say there would be a Science Boy path in the game where building unique, powerful items would be one of the keys to victory... so it's very possible you will tinker with weapons yourself.
 
There will be mechanical labs in VB so you can tinker with your weapons and such. Small samplings of upgrades are, but not limited to, scopes, barrels, extended magazines, etc.
 
Man, I wish they'd stop posting info like this.




Everytime they do I want Fallout 3 more and more, its not fair for them to tease us like this!! :wink:
 
So, would it be possible to say, clean up and improve the rifling in a Sniper Rifle? Increasing its accuracy and range?
 
Can you explain what you mean by barrels? I mean, it might be okay to fit a more accurate barrel onto your rifle, but please don't do that nonsense JA2 did where glueing a pipe onto the front of your gun increased accuracy. Extended magazines don't really make sense either. I mean, you could find a high-cap magazine and use that, but that hardly takes a laboratory.
 
Modify everything to the bits end, I want gold plated desert eagles with extended mags and laser guides! :X
