Single shot machine guns?

You are on your own. The Army is MIA and our government is gone! There are no communications of any kind. Cities and towns have gone dark, and zombies fill the streets. The dead have risen and it would seem to be the end of the world. Help me, Mommy!

Single shot machine guns?

Unread post by Tor »

Noticed on page 108 under the Tracer round:

When used in machine-guns, these rounds are placed every 10 rounds along the belt, giving a bonus of +1 (single shot) or +2 (burst fire) to strike.


Page 110 only assigns burst damages for machine guns though, and says they are burst fire only.

I know in previous games you got a per-shot damage and then applied multipliers, and I there might have been a game where 'burst only' was not a rule and you could single-shot with machine guns.

Could this note for Tracer rounds be a leftover from that?

If not, when, if at all, would the +1 on single shots come into effect? It seems like only the +2 on burst fire is usable.

Maybe just a period after belt? Because technically with one every 10 rounds there should be a bonus of nothing with single fire. As the tracer shouldn't give a bonus to itself. If used in a single shot rifle I guess it would let you know approx where your next shot may go and give plus one to the next shot. But they're realm only effective spaced out in a machine gun belt so that you get a constant update, I find it funny that they use tracers with phalanx and CRAM as it isn't like the computer needs them. Probably more for show.
