OP3 features part 2: The weapon rarity system

Weapons are now generated using a new rarity system, which regulates rarity according to shop value (which itself is a representation of how 'good' the weapon is).

Firearms and melee weapons are graded on two separate rarity scales:

Firearms:

• Rarity 1: Common - Chance to generate: 59.5%
• Rarity 2: Regular - Chance to generate: 22.45%
• Rarity 3: Premium - Chance to generate: 9.5%
• Rarity 4: Superior - Chance to generate: 5.65%
• Rarity 5: Rare - Chance to generate: 2.45%
• Rarity 6: Extraordinary - Chance to generate: 0.45%
• Rarity 7: Unique - Never generated randomly, is applied to highly custom weapons, crafting-only weapons, and specs docs weapons.

Melee weapons:

• Rarity 1: Common - Chance to generate: 55%
• Rarity 2: Regular - Chance to generate: 26.5%
• Rarity 3: Premium - Chance to generate: 12.5%
• Rarity 4: Superior - Chance to generate: 6%
• Rarity 7: Unique - Never generated randomly, is applied to highly custom weapons, crafting-only weapons, and specs docs weapons.

New MazeBot commands have been created (for GM use only):

• @rarity-gun ; Generates a random combination of weapon Class (C1-C4) and Rarity (R1-R6).
• @rarity-melee ; Generates a random combination of weapon Class (C5L, C5S, Handgear) and Rarity (R1-R4).

The criteria given by the commands are entered in the GM's weapon database, and a random weapon, if any exists, is selected then specced among the possibilities. If the combination of weapon class and rarity returns no results, then a random weapon from that class (with no regard for rarity) is generated instead.

• 200-round PK belt, suitable for use in the PKM and PKP Pecheneg

New Customs services

  • The LWMMG Enhanced simply allows the weapon to fire .338 Lapua Magnum, for greater damage but increased recoil. Everything else about the weapon remains unchanged ; even the ammo belts required are the same!

Related changes:

• The pre-existing ".44 Magnum 6-round speedloader" will be renamed .44 Magnum/Special 6-round speedloader.
• The M203A1 was scrapped, and the M203 is now compatible with all AR-15s in Rifle or Carbine configuration.
