[@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth]

I'm a game dev, and honestly the real reason the blunderbuss is that way PROBABLY isn't so nuanced. They were probably originally going to make them use shotguns, then changed it to machine guns for a design reason down the line. Either that or a miscommunication occurred down the line. Messy firearms are very common in older games especially.

[@hankkits4043]

I'd wager it was due to gameplay issues.

[@nickosman1556]

yeah the stun gun is actually used by Sligs to knock out mudokons without killing them

[@HollyfromtheHollow]

I always interpreted the original sprite's "Blunderbuss" as having some kind of sideways magazine, or an unseen belt magazine. I never really saw it as a shotgun, at least after seeing it fire. I kinda wish they went in a direction like that, making their own unique looking gun, but what's done is done, I suppose...

[@goblinden6380]

15:41 I think that the reason the Magog cartel did not send out rocket launcher sligs to destroy the train was because they may have wanted to continue using the train. If there's one thing then Magog Cartel dose the most it would be cutting costs, so this I see a very likely that they wouldn't want to destroy a valuable train.

If you stun a slug you can pick pocket them, so the taser makes pickpocketing multiple sligs easier! Also it’s probably to add to the lore that they got to capture mudoken slaves alive, thus they need a weapon that can stun them.

[@BlueFireDrakka]

I think theres a pacifist achievement for Soulstorm where you complete the game without killing a certain number of sligs, I think it was 100? so that might be why they added the stun gun so you can just knock out everything instead of killing them.

Two little things I know about the Slig snoozer gun. If your followers are in happy mode they will be taped (captured) by the Sligs if seen running away.

19:26 I think what happened is; The code for slapping is still in the game, but is activated for some reason while you're behind a Slig, and are being told to perform an action like, Hiding in a locker. TL;DR Action is being called Code for slapping wasn't removed When Action is Performed you slap.

[@Wyvern201]

I loved the blunderbuss, it felt like the sligs were just given whatever crappy weapons or bits of weapons they had lying around and told to figure something out, so they made a semi-full-auto-pump-action rifle submachine gun abomination, it really gives them a sense of mindless cruelty and brutality (a la, ork guns in 40k)

[@odinlindeberg4624]

Or they're just really, really good at slam-firing.

[@davidarri9115]

I think adding new types of slig with new weapons in SoulStorm was necessary, in my opinion it gives the game that something that makes you even more fun shooting when you take control of a slig! Shooting at nothing just for fun is part of Oddworld right? 😁 (you have no excuses, you've all done it and I know) My favorite sligs are: Minigunner sligs and Sniper Sligs (when I'm controlling them of course ...) it's interesting how the magog cartel's Sligs have evolved getting stronger after the Abe legend spreads!

Great video! It’s a shame we didn’t get to see the Big Bro Sligs or there Blitz Packer heavy machine guns, I would have think they would be perfect for the heavier weapons or maybe for like a mini boss. Also I love the fact that the shockrocker slig is holding his baton like a gun even though it doesn’t shoot anything! I like to think that there’re just pretending that it’s a gun and hopping that the Mudokons wouldn’t know.

[@pupbenny]

Thank you so much! Yeah, it would've been really nice and added variation to have seen the Big Bro Sligs in Soulstorm. Plus, good point, it's a surprise they didn't use the Blitz Packers to represent some kind of machine gun in the game too, considering there's so many different kinds of guns in the game!

[@dasirrlicht5415]

Not sure if you already have a video on it, but the tinfoil stuff reminded me of a thing: What is chant suppressors ACTUAL purpose? Being that the whole possesion thing is not believed by the cartel, it can not be because they know that chanting can lead to such. What other reasons are there to supress the chanting? Just annoyance that the Mudokons are acting religious at work?

Its could just be an exetnsion of their anti-abe system. If Abe controls on of them, they could easily knock the controlled slig out with their batons.

I distinctly remember the manual for either oddysee or exodus saying sligs have automatic shotguns.

[@devilsadvocate.]

I mean, it makes perfect sense why the sligs would have a taser on them in every environment. In the wild, its to stun the creatures their hunting to make it easier to capture them. In the factories, it's to knock out unruly workers without killing them. And just in general, it's a good idea to give your security a way of none lethally taking something down.

[@greenbanana1001]

Abes odyssey was my favourite game as a kid

[@Jaffersin]

I'd argue that with the blunderbuss it's likely that Sligs were visualized as using them early on, especially as the shotgun can be seen as an efficient, cost-cutting weapon for their mechanical simplicity compared to a lot of other options, but setting them up mechanically wasn't working in the game or making an assault rifle visually recognizable was too difficult so for the devs to save time and money they kept the original. Also with the modern stun gun, I'd say mechanically it's either, as you suggest, a holdover from when they intended for "no kill" runs to be viable or it could've been that when at lower difficulty and/or alert levels the Sligs would rely on less-than-lethal weaponry to incapacitate offenders. It'd make sense in-universe as no matter how disposable Glukkons see their workers it's more cost-effective to incapacitate them and reintegrate a handful of rebels into the workforce than let them die as martyrs and have to replace them while in gameplay it could soften the difficulty of escorting Mudokins by making it so at those low alert/difficulty settings the penalty for leading liberated Mudokins into danger would sometimes just be them being halted and tied up or carried off to which you'd need to free them again, the likes of which I could really see being carried up to the gameplay section, the devs realizing it wasn't working for what they had in mind and the stun prod Slig being changed into their own enemy type and stun guns being added mostly as a relic of all that leftover functional code for it.

[@NeinTeaAteKay]

the mask for minigun sligs might be to stop their tentacle things from getting in the rotating part of the minigun

[@RazanaArcclaw]

It was 100% not intended for the guns to look like shot guns yet fire like a machine gun, was def something they made as a model, then stuck a random attack pattern on it. Yes its another world, but physics are still psychics.

[@eltoxicdog7587]

Fun fact shotguns are still very accurate and deadly at long range. A 12 gauge shotgun firing 00 buckshot will kill someone from 50 yards away.

[@KopperNeoman]

They're not, really (unless firing slugs) - if they're loaded with shot, they're still close range weapons - it's just that "close range" in reality is a lot farther away than in a videogame. At genuinely medium or long ranges (>100 metres or so) the accuracy of shot tanks hard.

[@Mastercheap]

2:47 Well, will a gun on a other world could look quite different, it still would still, most likely, look like some thing we could come up with (unless the physiology is VERY different) Plus, shotgun design just doesn’t do well for machines gun, maybe if you had an heliptical magazine (were the ammo is place in a spring pater) and the bullet were small, it could work, but it be very sophisticated which wouldn’t make sense. There is a reason that shotgun and machine gun are designed the way they are, that said, it a video game, so it doesn’t need to be realistic. Also, shotgun could be useful if they make a puzzle where they need to hit a certain place, has the machine gun could be annoying for that.

[@themangledwither]

Sligs wear a colander that means...they're pastafarians!

[@THEOGJOR64]

1:15 they shouldve actually made a reload animation and made the gun a bit more powerful and it would be perfect, and maybe a small sidearm too.

[@GuerrillaPM]

In my opinion, the stun gun is useful if you've got slow reaction. I mean, if there are two sligs in different locations, killing one of them might result in the other one immediately shooting at you. Instead if you stun one, you can freely kill the other one and then finish off the one you've previously stunned.

[@nightcrawler_1177]

I like to think of the Blunderbuss' as more of a weapon they phased out; like the original Slig mask from Odyssey. Still, the original Slig design is still my favourite by a good margin. Hope everyone's having a wonderful day.

11:08 here's a theory i have about behind the scenes. you mentioned the Heavy machine gun sligs first appeared in the 2019 trailer cutscene.... i compared both the 2019 and final cut version. The soulstorm brewary has a different design in both cutscenes. Now i wonder why do the flying sligs not have their bigger masks blocking their tentacle faces and extra barrels on them in that cutscene? did they not have enough time to change their design? Or did they leave them because it makes the sligs more recognizable for players?

[@pupbenny]

OH MY GOSH, GOOD CATCH! I can't believe I've actually never even noticed that before! It's really weird that the minigunners in the cutscene don't look like they do in the gameplay. Maybe it was because they wanted the first shot of the Sligs to instantly be recognisable as Sligs maybe? It's really interesting to think about. :)

[@zombiehunter501]

Just wanted to point out the irony of the flamethrower slig wearing firefighter helmets maybe due to the fact in realty here on earth, the world's first official flamethrower soldier unit was made up of firefighters from Germany during World War 1.

[@tomtomkingbenito5998]

My one and only critique is that the minigunners should have been Big Bros from Munch's Oddysee (Xbox design). Either keeping the same minigun, it with the Spray n Pray skin or having the Blitzpacker from Munch's fittingly shooting cans of Brew. The flying minigunners could still have the Soulstorm design and minigun, so it would not only give more diversity but also add another large intimidating enemy besides the horrifying greeters. They could have an armored variant sporting the armor and aerials as the Big Bros in Munch's. Otherwise they're all pretty much perfect 😁

[@SzaraWilk]

[@fluffdafire157]

I understand your feelings on the weapons but like the way a weapon is designed says a lot about it's function for example the old blunderbuss appears to have a pump hand guard on it which would mean it used a pump action to charge and then fire the weapon since the loading of a bullet doesn't happen automatically it couldn't be automatic but if it is automatic then that means the hand guard is either there as a heat shield or just extra grip

[@PKFireFawx]

Really odd that with the graphic and animation fidelity of SoulStorm; the machine gun sligs cock a non existent pump on their T1/T2's as if they're holding a shotgun. Kind of weird that they'd make the same error but in reverse with this game decades after Odyssey.

Yes, the taser is a worse weapon. But this maybe a representation of how doing the right, benevolent thing is often so much more difficult as a path in life.

Taser weapons would allow you to loot downed sligs, additionally there is an achievement for killing less than 100 sligs. also sligs sometimes use the their tazer weapons on passive mudokons, and binds them up, a possessed slig can also use its tazer on mudokons to bind them up, bound up mudokons are ignored by patrolling sligs however i have noticed it seems that not all sligs actually do carry tazers, because i have possesssed sligs and tried to pull his tazer with no luck.

Tazer rifles probably use less lethal rounds, meaning a lower powder charge so you'd need to manually cycle it since there wouldn't be enough gas to cycle the rifle normally. That would explain the slow fire rste and lack of automatic fire.

In the first games it might be indeed automatic shotgun, but not using 12Gauge . Lately I've seen a revolver shotgun hybrid and you could fire it with one hand. I think it used 14Ga shells.

From a game designers point of view from why they used a shotgun model? Likely due to the lack of clip so no question of reloading maybe? It was pretty hard to see it as a shotgun anyway back in the day. May as well have been a metal stick with a grip. Its nice to see them admit they fixxed it however. Tho i dont like the new machine gun design. It looks too normal. Maybe a drum mag would have fixxed that?

I’m just gonna point out the obvious. The blunderbuss’s original design was not intentional. Blunderbusses were the powerful single shot muzzle loaded ancestors of the modern shotgun. They fired debris in a conical pattern like a shotgun. The name and design imply shotgun. Odd world’s physics are like ours and those guns are mechanical like ours. There’s no magical way a gun could work like a machine gun in that form factor. The reason it doesn’t function that way in game is because of the typical British ignorance of how fire arms work coupled with a likely late stage creative decision to change the way the guns worked for gameplay reasons. Someone simply forgot to alter the model or there wasn’t enough time. Due to aforementioned Britishness no one realized how absurd the mistake was.
