Thread: just a thought
If you got hit with electricity, wouldn't you be knocked backwards?
I think it would be a decent change to llc's if that effect was added. Another thought, if you're target isn't wearing armor, wouldn't his/her/it's skin smolder ie suffer burn damage.
This is something that I have thought the LLC should have. I'm not talking about an automatic knockdown effect however. Even mentioning an idea like ADDING a knockdown would be enough to get every non bounty hunter in the game together and lynch us all.
But I personally think that use of the LLC should stand a good chance to stun and/or dizzy the target. Seems sensible based on the electric shock nature of the attack.
I like the idea of a knockback over a knockdown in this case for a little bit of diversity and usefulness.
Perhaps it should be used as a special in the LLC line (rather than an inherent effect of the weapon). If the effect of the special was 90-100% knockback (or 100% knockback with the range the target is knocked back being the randomizing factor)and 25-50% knockdown and/or stun/dizzy, then it would definately be worth it.
The range of the LLC would still need to be looked at, but it would be a more reasonable weapon with this special. This would be a definate must have against pistol-whip or melee targets.

If I recall correctly, the Devs said it would be somewhat mysterious as to how one would unlock the FS slot, right? So, If you go and talk to the hermit then get the 4 badges, how would that be somewhat mysterious? See what I mean? What are your thoughts?
Hmmm true but then think of the other 30 million things people are trying and can you really say that any of them will remember exactly what they did to get the FSCS?
probably not wich will leave it still a mystery for the rest of us to figure out ![]()
