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.
[b]Q: Will anti-vehicle weapons be available?[/b]
All weapons can be used against ships, however some are far more effective, such as explosive weapons like rocket launchers and grenades.
[b]Q: Will players be equipped with a weapon immediately upon launch?[/b]
Just as you will always have a Sidewinder available as a ship, all players will have a side arm to help them in combat
[b]Q: Will there be melee weapons?[/b]
Players will be able to attack with melee when close but there are no specific melee weapons.
[b]Q: What kinds of explosives are there?
[/b]Only grenades and rocket launcher are planned for launch
[b]Q: Will the aiming reticule always remain on-screen?[/b]
The reticule 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 reticule for general direction, but will be less accurate.
[b]Q. Which weapons allow you to look down the sights?[/b]
All weapons will have this function, however different scopes are available for each through Engineering.
[b]Q. Could players throw grenades at ships an expect to deal significant damage if it's unshielded?[/b]
Yes and we look forward to watching it happen!
[b]Q. What types of weapons will there be?[/b]
There's a wide variety of weapons from pistols, rifles and SMGs, to shotguns and rocket launchers. More details will be revealed on these later.
[b]Q: Will players be able to upgrade their weapons with attachments?[/b]
You can choose from several attachments for your weapons. However, a modified weapon cannot be reverted, so think carefully. You can own multiple copies of a weapon for different situations, but can only carry a limited number of them at a time, depending on your suit type.
[b]Q: Can you drop items for your friends to use?[/b]
Yes - other players can pick up and use your dropped items.
