The ttk increases are another solo nerf, because with longer ttk big groups have more time to respond. Which makes making plays that much harder. And the bush sound works in the same way, basically everything is done to nerf solo and duo players. Only clans are allowed to have fun

[@societl]

tbh tho the modular weapons sound so much better in a game like rust since you literally are patching you’re weapons together with random parts. It’s already technically how most weapons in game are made, they would just giving the option mix and match them

[@frankknox9127]

If they’re going to add sounds to bushes and this bean can alarm, they should make to where you can crawl on your stomach to give a slower, more stealthy approach to how you move in Rust, just you can avoid detection better.

[@lasergamer-xj4um]

i dont know if this would work in the arcadey fps style of rust, as its not a hyper realistic game like dayz. with the way rusts gunplay is, people would instead just use this for peeking when theyre on their roof and finding new ways to pixel peek, as well as dropshotting and camping inside monuments.

Makes sense that there would be balance issued with a completely customizable weapon, people will sid meyer it and the meta will become even more ingrained. Not to mention the headache it would be to tweak the thing. To us it would be one weapon but behind the scenes it would be like 13 different entities that all have to fit together diegeticly and work and be balanced. It’s a huge task

[@afyyy9086]

1:57 Good Bye to Oblivion Zipline Trap videos from now

[@Tyler-nh6op]

Curious about the TTK update. On top of that, I understand modular weapons not being implemented because of meta advantages though would of been a cool thought if they did meta weapons with randomized stats per part crafted/found so you still have to build it/find it instead of having a one blueprint same outcome countless times

[@WisdomRL]

A t1 smg seems like it will speed up the game which is what they're trying to combat with all the slowdowns soooo im a little confused on that decision

[@AHappyCub]

Wish FP would add in a sidegrade for SAR but fully automatic, something like a 20 rounder autorifle with slightly lower damage than SAR

[@BeetsaGuyASMR]

If FP couldn't balance in the SKS as a new weapon, then they definitely could not balance modular weapons. Not bummed about it tbh. It would really just end up like cars where there's way too much involved with getting them running vs just getting any other transport.

[@TheToMiToX]

Storage adaptors not having collisions is SUCH a QoL change, its especially nice when cramming them into very tight spaces

[@-ColorMehJewish-]

I did not get to test out the new bike quick turning but I am glad FP addressed it. I'm not sure if it will be GTA-driving level perfection yet, but here's hoping

[@alternatemusicaddict5226]

If we aren’t getting modular weapons we need the bean can vest where the explosion gets larger as you scream louder in game

[@RadiantSkiddMarx]

If they arent adding modular weapons, they need to add enough different and unique weapons so that the gameplay changes in fights. I remember getting bored on servers when me and friends had reached AK's and metal armor. Then, raids became "oh boy, more of the same crap we already have."

[@swinfough]

I love the idea of a tier 1 smg!!! I'm going to be honest, modular weapons would never have worked in a game like rust. You'd have a long range shotgun tier 1 or some kind of customsmg with insane accuracy. I'm glad the idea got shelved.

6:15 nice roast of the base bit ches

[@rc1411]

Bush noises need debugged. If you put a foundation on top of one, it'll disappear per usual, but you still get the noise as if you're still walking through the bushes that used to be there when running through your base. Nothing game breaking, but it's a tad annoying. Walk to workbench, *swish swish swish*, walk back to boxes, *swish swish swish*.

[@Valium762]

Tin can alarms seem like they would be pretty limited due to short audio range. Would be cool if you could string several together all the way back to base, so that the can would rattle indoors, or wherever you ultimately placed the last one.

STALCRAFT MENTIONED

[@scottanderson6969]

I miss legacy rust where it almost felt like DayZ where you had to really sneak around and gather resources and the sigh of relief of making it home and feeling cozy. You snuck around a lot more and were a lot more mysterious. If you seen another person it almost kind of startled you. It had a certain feeling to it. Almost like a hunting game. The new rust feels so fast paced and especially with the “mini game” for gathering resources it doesn’t have the same feeling. Why would they add something to distract you while gathering resources on a survival based game? Where I have to pay attention to where I gotta hit a tree or rock to gather it quicker? I thought that’s the whole point of getting better tools? I feel like they need to stop adding some of these teir based monuments and add some actual towns like legacy had. It’s essentially a post apocalyptic game. Where’s the towns? The only one is the safe zone and you’re safe there! There’s no sneaking around trying to hide from other players and obtain loot ect. It’s completely lost its whole meaning from what it was.
