On death the weapon is replaced with a normal one. The creatures and NPC (hostile tribals) in Point Lookout use special versions of unplayable weapons adding +40 DMG to the player when a NPC uses them ( Like the supermutant overlord, but the script is different). It is not a programming error, it is scripted (DLC04ActorInventoryScript). It's all very weird and artificial and spoils the immersion, imhao. Those guys didn't even take damage with the first shot sometimes. The PC enemies seem to be less armored than the aliens with their invisible armor though. But even those I found didn't pack the kind of punch I expected them to. It's gotta be a weird but delibrate choice, surely.Īs for the best weapons to use, why no mention of the missile launcher, fat man, mini gun, gatling laser, alien atomizor/disintegrator, laser rifle/pistol, plasma rifle/pistol, plasma grenades, heavy disintegrator, flamer, drone cannon etc.Īt the time of Point Lookout you've got a whole armoury of fancy weapons to use that rip them apart nicely. How could this be as a result of a 'programming error' though? I'm pretty sure it would have been picked up during play testing. Originally posted by Flynn DOB 1989:Interesting.
