    With the new update came news of fully automatic weapons and dot (damage over time) weapons being included with the new destination.

    Will we see simular weapons on Arkadia in the near future and will it be possible to create vehicle mountable versions ?

    I'm a little confused. How does a fully automatic weapon differ from a normal weapon with autofire toggled?

    The way I understand it is you can just keep the mouse button pressed in and the weapon will continue to fire (and sound like a fully automatic weapon) untill you let go of the button.

    I dont fully understand the system as I have not yet aquired such a weapon so cant quite say how it differs from autofire. I think it has todo with the weapon actualy shooting more then one shot a second so you can basicaly "spray and pray" with that kind of weapon.

    My guess is that it's just a visible trick nothing actually changed in the weapon and dmg itself just the animation let you think it's a fully automatic gun.

    And keep the mouse button pressed to keep fire until you let it go works with any weapon these days, so again I just think it's the sound+animation, so nothing new really...
    And the damage over time weapon type, isn't that likely to cause you lots of overkills? or is this something you think about against other players in pvp, dont really get the idea of this type of weapon since so many are concerned about not overkilling and such things

    It's nice to know when the next shot is coming from the time since the last audible shot. If these automatic weapons take that away, I wouldn't like it at all. I didn't like the little automatic guns in the arctic for this reason (ignoring the fact they did like 1.0 damage, :)). But if it's actually a continuous damage, I could probably get used to that.

    Which weapons are fully automatic?

    wishlist

    i just want (UL) Ark Flamethrowers, pants like the Artic pants only (c) *color, camo, etc* and perhaps a mission similar to "Thing" mission in wich new players can earn low TT vehicles (ARK design) and or weapons/ clothes.

    perhaps even special "Found" items unique only to Arkadia where everyone has to come to Ark to find/earn them before they can take them home

    you need ammo type XX to be able to use this weapon plaese go to trade terminal and buy more.

    EDIT: I got my support back and MA said it was working as intended and maybe I should check my sound drivers and be sure they are correct and up to date.
