Spatsiba 89 Posted September 11, 2018 Hey! I've been trying to make a mission where you do some navy seal shit and surface from the water to take down two guards on a pier. Problem is, the gun won't fire unless you aim almost straight into the air. Does anyone know any way to fix this in the mission file without having to modify the game? The SDAR is an option that I've played around with but I'd prefer an HK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Old Man 3548 Posted September 11, 2018 That's the depth I can fire from, seems reasonable considering the water has no effect on the weapon other than preventing to fire it if it's partially submerged. Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spatsiba 89 Posted September 11, 2018 I'm aiming for some more arcade ish than that. I mean shooting from a swimming position. Seems like there's no smart way of doing it without cutscenes or attachto etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lack of attachments prevent SDAR to be a valid alternative.However, I can't remember where and how,someone did try to add those with new config....anyone remember what I'm talking about, or I just dreamed that?I know there is/was some mod to do so, but can you script that?

Spatsiba 89 Posted September 11, 2018 I know how to add attachments to the SDAR. I had to mod the game however. Also silencers didn't work. I also know how to mod guns so they can fire underwater. But both require configs and making people download a mod for just one mission. Which sucks.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a shame that the only vanilla weapon you can use in a scuba/SEAL'S typical environment is pretty much useless once you're out of the water. A silencer and some optics and it could be a perfect choice for a oil rig/ maritime infiltration mission... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pierremgi 4906 Posted September 12, 2018 On the other hand, some realistic stuff is not so bad. Add a classic weapon in a backpack or prepare some drop/ hidden crate. It's more immersive than any supergun. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HazJ 1289 Posted September 12, 2018 My second underwater super weapon is a tank shooting out of the water and destroying everything in range... But on a serious note.

Or at least the projectile would deter accuracy, range, etc... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe the HK 416 is a bit more forgiving than the standard AR/M4/M16 platform, but it should still be drained of water before discharging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some like the HK416 has been tested and works fine directly after raising out of the water. A gun really serves no purpose UW because the water itself will just tank the bullet in less than a metre. The guns in backpacks thing is something I've already tried and I guess it's the best "solution" so far. However the SDAR is EXTREMELY innacurate when fired from water at a distance longer than 15 metres. It also just looks really stupid imo. Only big problem is the mission is stealth and firing a SDAR isn't very stealthy soundwise. I might just make a shoot in sync with loud noises script.
