While we don't know for sure the timeline of the game, I wanted a thread dedicated to the potential arsenal we'll be dealing with in the game.
Going on the evidence, if it is indeed modern day, I hope to see an AR based on the SCAR-H make it's Far Cry debut.
Also it would be cool if this time we use a compound bow:
Doesn't have to be to crazy or elaborate, not like some tournament bow or something, but this would not be far fetched to find in some house in rural MT at all....
IF it is indeed set in wild west times, I would hope they don't shy away from having native americans in the game and I would want to see their spears!!!
Spears were the best part of FCPrimal imo, so if its wild west, I wanna use em again! hahaha
Whatchy'all got?
Guess I should have specified NEW weapons... not just new functionality, though thats a interesting idea to be able to knock out enemies silently.Originally Posted by Viragoxv535 Go to original post
I think the elephant double barrel was a pre-order bonus and I never got that one. I did love the harpoon gun though oh man, that thing was so much fun. Don't know that I ever was able to pin a guy to a wall or tree though.... I liked sneaking up right behind a guy crouched and shooting him with it point blank at an upward angle sending him flying.. very satisfying if they were on a cliff edge! Definitely hope the Nitro.700 or equivalent makes a return. I'd also like to see a better variety of more modern handguns. The 1911 and the 6P9 were both pretty lame IMO. I'd prefer something along the lines ofOriginally Posted by Anorexic_Buddah Go to original post
A USP.45
And perhaps a Glock 17
The pistols in FC were always lackluster to me, and I rarely used them beyond the early portions of the game before you have any other options...
Here's my pick
- AR15 M4/M16 Variant
- AUG
- Leveraction Rifle = Winchester 1894/92
- Scar H
- CZ-805
- Glock 19
- G36
- Benelli M1014
- Nova Pumpgun
- Winchester 1897 trench gun
- FG 42
- Sten
- M3A1 Grease gun
- Martini Henry
- Barrett M107 or M82
- DSR
- HK21
- Sawed off shotgun
- M240B
- STG 44
- M60
Quite an extensive list. I would say some of them I think have already featured in FC games in the past, or at least weapons that are super similar, similar to the point that they should either swap out the other weapon or not replace them at all. The M4/ AR15s for example are very similar to the P-416 that has featured in FC3/4.There are even multiple weapons in that list that are very similar to one another. (beneli & nova pump gun are basically the same as the pump shotty already in the past games, & FC4 had a sawed-off shotty as well) I think the CZ-805 and the SCAR-H look very similar, so having both would seem redundant. But I like the CZ-805, wouldn't mind if that was there and not the SCAR.Originally Posted by Argonaut_Knight Go to original post

Wouldn't mind them adding the G36 either, always liked that gun, great memories from COD:MW using that thing.
Personally I mostly want new modern weapons. I would rather they didn't put alot of old timey weapons in there if it's a modern game. Having wild west or WWII era weapons seems... out of place to me in a modern set game. ( Assuming FC5 is indeed modern day)
I would like to see them add the AA-12 or USAS-12 though, that was in FC2 and it was one of my faves, as was the MAC-10, would love to see both of those make a glorious come back...
Far Cry 3/4 were pretty good about having a variety of weapons that all look distinguishable from one another. It's not a clancy game where they fill out the arsenal with so many guns that some of them are inter-changeable with no real distinction from each other. I'd like to see the weapon list grow, but I also think they have plenty of weapons that could stand to be retired.
FC4 weapons I could live without ever seeing in the games again:
M-712, 1911, 6P9,Mark IV, A2000, Scorpion, BZ-19, MP34, MS16, SVD, PKM, U100, GL-94, GL-A87... And honestly I wouldn't care if they got rid of the Deagle & AK, but those are such staples not even just to FC but FPS games in general I just don't see them not using them... haha. If they replaced all these guns with alot of the new ones being suggested we'd maintain a big list to choose from... and a more interesting list IMO, one I'd change up my loadout alot more often for.
I've always been a fan of old-fashioned guns. By old fashioned I mean that forced the user to be precise and efficient, because missing his target with these weapons would end badly for him.
Loved the old revolvers/german WW2 guns of FC4, the elephant rifle (my favorite), the bow and hoping for some assault rifle playing a bit like M1 Garand (packing more punch than the MS16 in FC3/4 but with slower firing rate). Best fun ever I had to play with in a game was a spanish rifle taking 10-15 seconds to reload while fighting dinosaurs: sure it was a challenge.
I agree some of my suggestions are similar and I would also agree that the next game should have a fresh new list with most of them being modern. However, I still firmly believe that classics (ww2 or western guns) should make an appearance as well because it adds that special spice to the game. In the end of the day it should be a good variety of different weapons as you correctly mentioned they shouldn't be too similar. A few years back I criticized the developers in a thread that they shouldn't have recycled all assets from 3 to 4. My general hope is that they won't reuse the weapons list from 3 and 4. At the moment I am more worried about the story/gameplay direction FC5 will take. Not so sure If I like the cult themed setting.. But lets see!Originally Posted by HorTyS Go to original post
WTF game was that? hahaha.Originally Posted by angstik Go to original post
ha, i guess maybe the 'spice' those old guns add is just not one i particularly like the flavor ofOriginally Posted by Argonaut_Knight Go to original post, but, because I never use them, I guess i'm not mad that they're there, but if they were to be there in place of something more modern, then i'd be bumming on it... so like if we got some lever action repeater instead of the SCAR, that would be kinda lame imo. I do like some of the more old fashioned things, i mean, i LOVE the bow in these games, it's the weapon I use 70% of the time, I just don't like the old timey firearms like the Mark IV, I think i used it once or twice, because it was one of the new weapons in FC4, but then i just switched it out for robocop's gun until i got the thumper and then i just used that for the rest of the game, because once you get that does anyone use any other side arm? Maybe the sawed-off once in a while...
I don't use the thumper unless I'm playing Escape from Durgesh. Most of the time, I prefer small guns. Clearly more entertaining. Thumpers and grenade launcher are just "one hit kills everything toys". Lacks precision and fun as far as my opinion goes.Originally Posted by HorTyS Go to original post
