[H1Z1 Updates] Test Server Update: Weapon Adjustment

[KZG Bot]

AR-15:

• Slight reduction in vertical & horizontal recoil on the first shot. Slightly more recoil growth over time.
• AR now deals 40 points of damage when hitting a helmet.  This means that 1 Headshot and 3 Body will be enough to kill a target.
• Projectile Speed decreased

AK-47:

• Slight reduction in vertical & horizontal recoil on the first shot. Slightly more recoil growth over time.
• Damage decreased to 23
• AK now deals 40 points when hitting a helmet.  This means that 1 Headshot and 3 Body will be enough to kill a target.
• Added semi-auto fire mode (default ‘X’) so now you can choose to be in Full Auto or Semi-auto.
  
  • There WILL be a HUD element that denotes the difference.  Single bullet icon is Semi-auto, five bullets is full auto.  This feature is NOT yet ready for Test.
  • The AK defaults to Full Auto mode when first picked up.
• Projectile Speed decreased

SMG:

• Added falloff that starts at 25 meters and ends at 50
  
  • the falloff includes a penalty to the headshot multiplier, taking it from 4x to 2x at maximum falloff range (50m)

Shotgun:

• Reduced recoil for both ADS and hipfire
• Increased shotgun effective range
• Tightened spread slightly

Magnum:

• Slightly more vertical recoil
• Greatly increased damage to vehicles from 3% per bullet to 8%.  Magnums will be far more effective at disabling vehicles now.
• Magnum shoots slightly slower now, refire time from 420ms to 450ms.
• Bullet drop slightly increased

Sniper Rifle:

• Much more initial sway when first Scoping in – Holding your Breath (default Shift) will steady this for a while.
  
  • Audio cues coming later
  • Potential tweaks to these values in a future update
• Decreased time to Scope.  This makes the sniper feel snappier but with the sway changes, forces the shooter to work with a smaller window of opportunity to fire a shot.
• Decreased projectile speed.
• Bullet drop was increased slightly
