I don't know if the VP78 is available in the vendor. If it is, are you trying to make it more viable as a secondary or primary? Or something else? I'm a fan of balancing around how the weapon should perform if you were to compare it to a real firearm versus how it should perform based on some aspect of the game. The former is usually more objective and better longer-term, since other parts of the game can and usually do change.

You probably didn't mean to include this change. Some files get pushed to your branch because you changed somethinge elsewhere, but they aren't needed, like config files as the case is here. No big deal, you can just push a change that cancels this out.

I'm really not sure about the no damage falloff here. I believe most ammo has damage falloff of some kind outside of sniper rifles. You can probably up it, but I would not leave it off for a handgun.

Yeah definitely not zero falloff.

Aight, but I haven't been able to find the effective range stat. I'll make it in line with the rifles or something? I dunno.

Ah I see. I'm just... really really dumb. Standby.

iirc the base to hit is like 30%?
wait is that unwielded im a friggin IDIOT AUGH-

Make it viable as a secondary I think. |

We could give it a TM tomorrow. I'm starting to form the opinion that setting damage_falloff to something like 2 or 3 might be fine enough to make the gun quite nice. |
About the pull request
VP78 now has NO FALLOFF, and is much more accurate. This means it should hopefully be more consistent and competitive. This is relatively minor because... well, I have bigger plans for later and I want to test the waters. Also because lol lmao new to github.
Explain why it's good for the game
VP78 is a joke rn, especially without attachments.
