Pistoleer Archive

Ok, I just made master pistoleer this morning, and I'm kinda curious. I've heard alot of people say that the pistoleer specials don't work. I agree, but I'm having a hard time putting my thumb on some of them, because I'm not sure what some are SUPPOSED to do in the first place. For instance ... we know PMD2 is bugged, because it NEVER knocks anyone down. We know it's supposed to do this because PMD1 does. However, disarming shot: is it actually supposed to knock someones weapon to the ground for a round or two or what? If not, then why the hell name it DISARMING shot? Again, stopping shot is great, does alot of damage. But it never STOPS anything. Is it supposed to? I'd appreciate some feedback.

In my opinion, every special that has a description saying it does something more than damage a person should have a special effect. As far as I'm concerned, these specials don't work at all:

Disarming Shot I

Stopping Shot

Pistol Melee Defense II

Disarming Shot II

I know some of the other specials are borked too and not very effective, but I think all of these shots should do something more than just damage your opponent, even if their current damage is reduced.

It is much faster to list just those specials actually worth using:

Health 2
Pistol Melee Defense 1
Stopping Shot
Fanshot
BS3

None of the others should be used in any situation, ever. Which means that they need to be fixed.

"In my opinion, every special that has a description saying it does something more than damage a person should have a special effect."

I agree totally.

I'm a newbie pistoleer and having gone very far up tthe tree so i appreciate threads like this so now I will know which specials not to use.

Oh and btw.

Ouch

And Fanshot...although kind of working...it is still buggy. It doesn't damage to multiple targets unless those targets are already damaged...

i have to disagree, ive found fanshot to damage any enemy in the vicinity, even if theyre behind a wall.

if you know the secret, you can have it effect the three hams of a single target.

you forgot MTPS.
