16+ skill in RPK & m79

[piahoo]

i dont know if it is a bug or not, but i dont get free RPK and m79 for free when i start with nothing (of course both person has 16 skill). it works with submachine guns 16+. another question: when i start with armour only will i get free steyr? or something in backpack? last silly question: how to enter new line in this forum :o

Here's some explanations:

About the RPK + M79 question: that number's been adjusted to 20, was 15 -16 for all weapons. Dunno if you do get the RPK or M79 though... they are powerful stuff and hard to find!

About the armor question: Nope. If you have ANYTHING on you at the start of a battle (even one round of ammo!)... you don't get anything at the start. This needs to be addressed for a future update so that it only looks for weapons and weapons only!

About the last "silly" question: it's the enter/return key for a new line on this forum!

Here is the list of skills with number of points to get free stuff:

Melee: 14+ will get you a knife, 20+ will get you a bat
Pistol: 15+ results in PM Makarov
Shotgun: 16+ gets you free Shotgun
SMG: 16+ Steyr TMP
Assault rifle: 17+ free AKS74-U
Sniper rifle: 18+
Grenade: 19+
Rocket launchers and heavy machine guns: 20+

So to answer your question you have to raise it up to 20 in order to get free RPK or M79

Are there better weapons to get with higher skill levels right now? As in M16A1 at skill level 40 or so?

thank you very much for explanation :) in my humble opinion heavy machine guns threshold shoud be decarased a bit, couse i think RPK is not as good as everybody thought

Not yet, but it will be. Main idea behind this is that you will start with weapon at one level lower than you can actually wear. So if you can wear assault rifle better than M16 then you will get M16 for free on start.

last question (i hope so): i have 16 in SMG and 17 in assault. will i start with both of them?

[berserker]

no, only with the one which is higher

You get one at random. I've had that situation myself.
