RedDog6911 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Is it possible to make wearing power armor a requirement to equipping a weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoKelly Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Now that is a great idea.. palms face.... that should have been in the game from the start, heavy weapons being restricted to power armor unless modified at a workbench which would reduce damage and rate of fire.

Yeah, it's something that's bugged me about the game for a while. Sure you can fire a missile launcher without issue, not much recoil there. A Fat Man because of how it works would have more recoil, but could still be possible. The Minigun could be fired handheld too, but it's not very practical without power armor in my opinion. My real issue though is weapons like the WH-Mk22 Heavy Machinegun, and automatic versions of the Type 76 and QBU-76-20 Anti Power Armor Rifles. I just can't see an unarmored human firing an automatic .50, 14.5mm or 20mm "rifle" while standing. Even semi-automatic while standing is questionable with the 14.5mm and 20mm.

Funny you mention that and I come across this thread. I just watched this video that I somehow stumbled upon. I think all or most of the heavy weapons should require or are greatly assisted by having power armor to shoulder their weight and help reduce recoil. As a side note, has the tag changed for youtube videos? I'm trying [ youtube ] numbers after v= [ / youtube ] and it's not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely possible to fire a minigun handheld, but you're not going to get accurate sustained fire. Not to mention the weight of the weapon plus ammo isn't going to be easy to lug around. 7.62 minigun 5.56 minigun I used the full address inside the tags.

genolune Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 A good weapon I can think of for this project is the Modular Simonov PTRS-41 Anti-Tank Rifle since it weighs 80 or so pounds and looks like it was made for Power Armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmpyro Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Browning m2 might be a nice power armor weapon. Incinerator from fallout 3.http://img.gamefaqs.net/screens/d/8/5/gfs_141022_2_6.jpg Edited December 14, 2016 by rmpyro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDog6911 Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 So it looks like there's interest in a mod like this, but nobody has said if it was actually possible or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
