![]() ![]() mis.dml file (in this case, ) located in the main System Shock 2 folder and edit it. There's an even better, however a bit more difficult option to revert the changes done by the patch.However, all guns in the game will behave the same way. The gun will now be unbreakable and also stay at its current condition. An alternative is to create a file named user.cfg in the main game folder containing only "gun_degrade_rate 0" (without the quotation marks) and re-run the game. While that Pistol still has zero kickback on Normal setting and greatly reduced kickback in Burst, unfortunately it does jam after the gun degrades enough. Alas, this seems to be partly changed in a newer version of the game (2.46).It will degrade, but never jam, regardless of its condition. A Pistol in perfect condition, found on a corpse lying in between the Shuttle Cargo Bays on the Command Deck is unbreakable and has reduced kickback.At least four pistols on the Engineering Deck have reduced kickback.A fully upgraded Pistol using Anti-Personnel rounds and set to three round burst can kill a Rumbler in five or six shots - few enough shots that you don't even need to reload the pistol.You are rarely swarmed by that many enemies. Of course an Assault Rifle set to full auto will deal drastically more damage, but again, it's largely overkill as you "spray and pray", wasting a lot of ammunition. The downshot is that you use three times the ammunition, but bullets are the most plentiful ammo in the game (compared to scrounging for grenades). A single-shot from the Assault Rifle deals 10 damage, while a single-shot from the Pistol deals only 4 damage - but set to three-round burst the Pistol will deal 12 damage in the same amount of time compared to the Assault Rifle's 10.On top of this, the three round burst limit on the Pistol forces you to conserve ammunition but kills most enemies in a burst or two in contrast, an ongoing danger with the Assault Rifle's auto-fire mode is to waste ammo emptying entire clips into rooms. While a Level 2 Assault Rifle is better than a Level 2 Pistol, you have to wait until much later in the game to use it. Basically you're faced with the choice of spending cybernetic modules to enable you to wield the Assault Rifle at all, or, using the modules to increase your modification ability to get a fully modded Level 2 Pistol. There is considerable debate on the choice between Pistol or Assault Rifle.Also, it is inadvisable to modify this weapon if you plan to use the Assault Rifle. It shares its ammo with the M-22 Assault Rifle, so it becomes obsolete if the player intends to use the latter weapon.One should only use the BURST mode in close-quarters, since the firing mode is inaccurate at long range.Due to the abundance of ammo, this is one of the better weapons to destroy cameras with.Due to its relatively low damage, it is recommended to use Armor-Piercing Bullets or Anti-Personnel Bullets whenever possible.OSA Agent is the only class that cannot use a Pistol at the very beginning - however it is recommended to learn basic Standard Weapons Skill, as this weapon has low requirements and plentiful ammo.Energy Weapons users need it to defeat organic enemies before getting their hands on the Mark IV Laser Rapier, Heavy Weapons users need it before stacking a large amount of Grenades or Prisms and Exotic Weapons users need it to destroy mechanical foes. Even if you do not focus on Standard Weapons, you may still need a pistol on early levels. ![]() Players who mainly use Standard Weapons can, of course, maximize the damage output of it, and turn this basic weapon into a reliable tool of destruction.Along with the Wrench, the Pistol is one of the beginning weapons regardless of Character Builds.Level 2 - Decreases reload time by 20% and increases damage to 125% of normal.Level 1 - Increases clip size from 12 to 24 and increases damage to 110% of normal.Three-Shot Burst - It fires three rounds in rapid succession.Single Shot - It fires a single shot when the trigger is pulled.Standard Bullets - The most common type of bullets in the game which deal Standard damage.Īnti-Personnel Bullets - Deal additional damage to partly and fully Annelid opponents.Īrmor-Piercing Bullets - Deal additional damage to partly and fully Mechanical opponents. After 23 years in service, the weapon has been designed to accept a number of kinds of ammunition, including the Standard steel-jacketed Rounds, uranium tipped Armor-Piercing Rounds and even Nanite-based Anti-Personnel Rounds. ![]()
