Don't ask, you'll jinx it.

Man ! hahahaha ! I always knew energy weapons were OP !!

if in your inventory, you have only energy pistols, you can set them all to 'over' and fire over charges as much as you want with the help of your mousewheel to switch between energy pistols, and the energy pistols doesn't have cooldown anymore !

[67428dd28f5f8Deu sex]

Forget what i said, just cycle through your energy pistols, even if you have other weapons, it works too !

I have something like 5 energy pistols level 2, with a good timing of fire and cycling/switching bewteen them i can fire an over shot per second (more like per 700/800 ms actually), and that as much as my energy pistols can handle.

[67428dd28f6fdDeu sex]

But keep in mind that it works absolutely the same way even with only 2 energy pistols, switching breaks the cooldown ! (sorry for lots of posting)

[67428dd28f7d6Marvin]

That bug has been known for ages.

[67428dd28f917Simplex]

Will it be fixed in SCP?

You must feel like human-laser-minigun!

it's an exploit, not really a bug. ADaoB had a fix, but it had the potential to break the gun completely, so it has been removed for now. also, the game engine can be exploited in many ways, if the player is determined to do this, there is no real way of stopping him (just like there is no way of preventing the player from firing up the console and typing add_pool 999).

[67428dd28ff18ZylonBane]

I'd call it a bug, because cycling a laser pistol into inventory kills its cooldown delay, which shouldn't happen. An exploit is something more like farming hybrids for infinite nanites (which, granted, does take forever).

"You must feel like human-laser-minigun!"

Ahahah exactly ! it was so funny that I did an entire playthrough on impossible without sleeping just to do that the entire game ! (aviable since the second laser pistol you can find, at level 3 (hydroptonics), assuming you choose Marines and energy weapons specialisation ofc)

It's an exploitable bug!  \/

Next up:
I analysed stuff at an upgrade booth and then undid the necessary research skill!
I brought my training laser! Pew pew!

Heh. Nice exploit discovery. That's going to annoy me now, exploiting it every playthrough.

[67428dd290425Kolya]

I'm not the one who discovered that. In fact I first heard about it when Nameless Voice wrote a script to prevent it (for ADaoB I think?). I personally think it's so obscure that anyone who knows this is perfectly entitled to exploit it. You're supposed to be a hacker after all!

Or skip that and bring the pistol with unlimited ammunition

as I've said, if the player is determined to exploit/cheat, there is little that can be done to stop him.

one can also just play the final cutscene with media player, and be done with the game.

I hate cheating/exploiting, it's just temptation is a bitch.

It's not fair to say such things. If the devs laid ammo everywhere in the levels like Bioshock and then just said "Stop whining, you don't *have* to make use of it", then the game would suffer because of this.

Except that voodoo isn't talking about exploits that are spoonfed to you.  Most players wouldn't be bothered.

Yes, but my point still stands.
The professionals in the industry on occassion get around to fixing obscure exploits, so they must feel the same way too. Fallout: New Vegas and Dark Souls are two recent reputable games that come to mind.

Any news on this mod? I remember sth about "soon"

Then I'll hope for no more power shortages

[67428dd291486voodoo47]

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
