hello it's ricardo and as sure there's there is death and taxes
on the run-up to odyssey there's another odyssey q a this time on weapons
well we all know the drill by now frontier developments releases some q a sessions i go
through them and discuss it so this time it's all about weapons that's what the dev q a is all about
so he says right the way at the bottom look at this greetings commanders we're back again this
week with more answers for you on elite dangerous odyssey this week we're taking a look at your
questions regarding on foot weaponry okay does that incinerate there may be vehicle weaponry
but they're saying on foot weaponry let's not look too much into it weapons will anti-vehicle weapons
be available they say all weapons can be used against ships however some are far
more effective such as explosive weapons like rocket launchers and grenades so we know there
are grenades and rocket launchers in the game cool and they mention ships what about srvs
okay next up will players be equipped with a weapon immediately upon launch just as you will
always have a sidewinder available as a ship all players will have a sidearm to help them in combat
does this insinuate then that to get the more swankier more robust weapons there's going to be
you know purchasing to be made we can assume this anyway because we've seen people in shops
from the screenshots all that sort of thing so that's going to be a given but you're going
to get a basic pistol the weapon equivalent of a sidewinder fair enough will there be malay weapons
players will be able to attack with malay when close but there are no specific
malay weapons so what pistol whip people but people with with the rifle there's no
bat left like off star trek or big sword or you know fashion daggers that's a shame
anyway what kinds of explosives are there only grenades and rocket launchers are planned for
launch so that's their way of saying well you know grenades rocket launchers you're gonna get them
straight off the bat and if any of us has some smart ideas they'll listen to the community and
then put them out um what about mines trip mines all that sort of stuff remote detonation mines
hey this is the thought will the aiming recticule always remain on screen that's a good question
the rectocule is used to interact with objects as well as for combat so will always be on screen
firing from the hip will still use the same recticule for general direction but
will be less accurate firing from the hip gun slinging let's hope
okay which weapons will allow you to look down the sights all weapons will have this function however
different scopes are available for each through engineering so the engineering of weaponry we've
always said is this gonna be a thing obviously now it is and what are you gonna need to engineer
a weapon anyway whatever at least it's going to be in the game this is good stuff could players throw
grenades at ships it should be and expect to deal significant damage if it is unshielded yes and we
look forward to watching it happen so okay what about throwing grenades at srvs okay what types
of weapons will there be there's a wide variety of weapons from pistols rifles smgs to shotguns and
rocket launchers and grenades more details will be revealed on these later so here's the thing
later i'll come on to this in a minute i just received another email from frontier developments
and here it is it is the elite dangerous cosmetics spring sale and they go on about saying how it's
spring and off select items there's 25 percent off and to welcome the new xbox game pass community
spend more money with us but the interesting word here is spring
now given the elite dangerous odyssey alpha and testing and whatever it's
going to be was meant to be available early spring can we expect something really soon
hmm interesting stuff okay next up uh will players be able to upgrade their weapons with attachments
you can choose from several attachments for your weapons however a modified weapon
cannot be reverted so think carefully okay so all right and
why can't you take it off okay you can own multiple copies of a weapon for different
situations but only carry a limited number of them at a time depending on your suit type so there
is an encumbrance element to this as well it's not going to be like doom where you've got like
20 different weapons and and what have you so fair enough i prefer that can you drop ammo grenades
for your friends yes other players can pick up and use your dropped items and it says keep an eye out
for more elite dangerous odyssey information in the future oh seven commanders well quite a
few things we've learned there only a short one this week so you know anti-vehicle weapons all
weapons can be used will players be equipped with a weapon for me at launch yes you'll always have
like a pistol will there be mla weapons no but you can pistol whip people and butt people with them
what are explosives grenades and rocket launchers you know i mean it's standard stuff amy rector
cue always on the screen use of selecting things around um the first person mode everyone has the
op every weapon has the option to look down the site and you can throw grenades at ships
um pistols rifles smg shotguns rocket launchers and grenades uh more details on these later
um when later let me discuss this according to frontier it is spring so so where's my odyssey
it's early spring you've got a couple you've got two weeks really it's early um will players be
able to upgrade their weapons with attachments yes you can but you can't revert them back to standard
and you can drop ammo and grenades for your friends so quite informative has to be said
this time um yeah quite a nice little update snappy quick anyway i've been ricardo thanks for
watching like and subscribe if you haven't already done so and look out for the elite dangerous
streams saturday and sunday and also my standard video on a monday stay safe and see you soon
