Weapons
For hunting you will need a weapon, in this section I show a weapon stats window and
explain the points and also go into the different types of weapons
20.1.1.1 Weapon stats window
As already mentioned in the profession section, the profession will determine the stats you
will have with a tool or weapon.
Still, the "Recommended level" isn't something you should look at, since that will just tell
you when the skill increase bonus starts, or in case it never offers SIB, it recommends
using it from level 0 and that can lead to a serious ped loss.
However, when the SIB just started the weapon is way away from a point where you can
use it effectively.
You may get faster skills during that time, but you have to be aware that you pay in lower
weapon efficiency, thus you have more missed shots and lower dealt damage, resulting in
more ammo usage per mob.
So while skills may be faster, your cost will be way higher.
Skill increase bonus means you gain aim/damage skills faster than with a weapon without
the learning period.
I suggest to just using weapons which SIB shows "not anymore", meaning you can use
this weapon as its best efficiency.
You will still get skills, like with a "normal" gun.
Of course you dn't max a gun yet when you just started, so you can use a Sollomate Opalo
for example.
But if you plan to move up from it, you may wait until your desired weapon is maxed.
Ammo type shows the ammo you need to buy to use this weapon.
Ammo burn, the amount of ammo the weapon uses per shot. Means if you use the opalo
with 2 ammo burn and buy 100 ammo for 1 ped, you have 50 shots, not 100!
