Yeah, I know: millions of possible weapons. :-)

Specifically, how possible is it to find and get weapons just right for our builds?  Getting such weapons will help making the best out of certain specs and vice-versa.

For example, I want to play Mordecai as a Gunslinger.  However, I'll still want to do some sniping every now and then where it's tactically advantageous.

Rather than toting around a sniper rifle alongside my pistol, any chance the game can drop a pistol that's long ranged, stable and high caliber (high damage)?  I understand some balances have to be built in, so I don't mind a low ammo capacity and slow rate of fire- I kind of imagine this gun as those single-shot marksman pistols used in some shooting events.

Another example: can the game make sniper rifles with good ammo capacities and high rate of fire, almost like a really long ranged assault rifle or machine gun?

well

anything is possible, ive seen some scoped pistols with good accuracy and a high rate of fire in gameplay footage, and theres always mods to increase ammo size, with nearly 18 million guns im sure youll find what you want, maybe not in the first 2 or 3 hours of play  but eventually

Yes to both of those

There is the possibility of that kind of pistol to be dropped, a revolver is usually a high accuracy pistol bout 92 ish if you get a good one. Then combine that with a scope 3.2x are quite common. Then a clip of 2 will usually have a high damage bout 150 minimum if its a high level weapon. Then also you will probably get a firing speed of 1.0 although you could get a high fire rate if your lucky =) and then of course you could get elemental damage as well =) I currently have a 2 shot revolver bout 150 damage, 92 acc, 1.2 fire speed and 3x fire damage so just keep looting till u get one =D

 

As for a rapid fire sniper there are plenty, usually a gun with a clip of 10, low scope bout 1.5x and low damage bout 50 or so and a relatively high accuracy. Its a perfect mid-range sniper for accompianing gunslingin =D I had one but tossed it after finding a better sniper tht woz slower but more powerful =)

 

Hope I helped =)
