Title: Make the YK32 Pulse Pistol a common weapon.
Post by: McLooter on July 25, 2012, 03:06:45 am: I suggest this because it:

- Only 15 range, it's the shortest range for a pistol.
- A lot less damage than Plasma rifle.
- There is a lack of electric weapons.
- Only slightly more damage than Plasma pistol.
- CA helmet and Tesla helmet has good resistance against it.
- I have also used it in an event, so that confirms it is a worse weapon than the Plasma rifle.

Obtainable from
- BoS Patrols perhaps?
- Shops in SF.
- Crafting it.
- Lootable from Glow/Ares.
- Also a weapon in Hinkley.

Crafting requirements:
Professions: Energy Expert: 2
YK32 Pulse Pistol blueprint.
Resources:
1x wood
1x normal alloy
2x HQ alloys
1x normal metal part
2x HQ metal parts
4x normal electronic parts

Post by: Mike Crosser on July 25, 2012, 12:26:00 pm: Not bad suggestion.
But there could be another way to obtain them, in fallout 2 enclave patrols used to carry pulse pistols along with gauss pistols and plasma pistols.

No. Maybe from a special encounter like the gauss pistol, but it should not be farmable to such an extent everyone can have bazillions of it.

Why not? This weapon is shit.

Post by: Enguzrad on July 25, 2012, 07:00:09 pm: If stats on wiki are accurate, it is comparable to plasma pistol. And most of armors have decent protection against electric damage so I vote for making it common.

Post by: Giftless on July 25, 2012, 08:18:03 pm: Can sneakers use it? From what I'm seeing this weapon would be much more devastating to users of metal armor than a plasma pistol would be.
Title: Re: Make the YK32 Pulse Pistol a common weapon.
Post by: Johnnybravo on July 25, 2012, 09:12:22 pm: Yes it counters metal armor (I remember pre-wipe event when you got pulse rifles as well, and shooting a guy in metal with that was really nasty :d), but with it's pitiful range... Sneaking around with it would be valid in my opinion. If you run around with the stuff that require some effort to get, you can't just troll. But then again that'd possibly make energy the most interesting choice for sneaking - choice from laser, plasma and electro with all of them having different cons and pros, that's really nice.

No it is not. It's been one of the best EW weapons in Fallout 2, but here it suffers from low range. That still makes it very useful when range is not huge factor. As a bonus, it practically ignores the most common used armor, that's not bad. Also take note that some of the weapons don't have their original stats, so you could as well make this thing pack a bit higher wallop. (Eg. plasma pistol does 15-35 in original)

Anyway, if some think it's too good, also remember it has extraordinary low magazine size. Not huge thing, but should be factored as well.

Post by: Roachor on July 26, 2012, 04:14:00 am: Range is always a factor, 15 is pretty brutal. Give ew pistolers a good alt when fighting metal, I like it.

Post by: Paladin on July 26, 2012, 05:41:01 pm: Agreed, there is no need to hide this weapon.
Title: Re: Make the YK32 Pulse Pistol a common weapon.
Post by: Gimper on July 26, 2012, 06:56:07 pm: I agree, it should be common. but think, maybe 2 of every 2000 suggestions are even taken into consideration, so this whole topic will probobly be forgotton soon along with all the others, and the devs probobly wont even read it. So yeah..... Good luck.

Post by: Keksz on July 26, 2012, 10:28:06 pm: I like the idea.I think the rifle would be good idea too cuz it has only shor range ::)

Don't forget this topic devs!

Title: Re: Make the YK32 Pulse Pistol a common weapon.
Post by: Swinglinered on September 09, 2012, 09:37:11 am: Make a HQ EP requirement on top of the others.
Plus Science 100-150.

Great for the Glow- if the bots there actually suffer the bonus damage from Electric.
(I haven't tested that yet with my super-Prod melee GlowRunner.)

To see public opinion on suggestions and discuss them or...to keep "DEVS, DO WANT" spam out of their mailboxes.
Pick your choice.

As for me, i like the suggestion.

Post by: Roachor on September 10, 2012, 12:42:42 am: Almost all dev changes have roots in suggestions, it's probably just your ideas that get ignored
Title: Re: Make the YK32 Pulse Pistol a common weapon.
Post by: ronon dex on September 10, 2012, 12:56:58 am: Pulse pistol looks nice, but is otherwise almost nothing.
Range 15, Damage 32-46, Ammo capacity 5.

and change the price for 4k or so

With fast shot, BRoF, AP 12, lk10, bonus crits, etc. would be good vs Glow Bots.

Post by: craig_christ11 on September 11, 2012, 02:52:02 am: This actually isn't too bad of a suggestion to be honest. Most are pretty crappy imo.

Ill bump this up in hopes someone sees it.
