[2022] Weapon suggestions.

Originally posted by Echo: it's not a mill sim yes but its supposed to be from the real world to the apocalypse it would make sense that there is more of a variety in weapons, and why are you so opposed to more variety in weaponry?

I don’t like that argument, because good gameplay should drive decisions. The real world is just one source of inspiration for arriving at good gameplay: a means to an end.

The real world has canned peaches in addition to canned pears. Should 7DtD have canned peaches? Should an artist spend their time making canned peaches instead of, say, costumes for bandits? Probably not, because the effect on gameplay would be the same for both.

I feel there are better things to spend dev time on than more art for the sake of more art. Honestly, I felt that the game was fine back when there was one pistol and one assault rifle. You had what you needed to fill the different operational roles.
