Future Mod Ideas/Recommendations
I'd like to start off by thanking the mod dev P0k3r for his hard work in making the best in-progress gun mod I've seen on Ark thus far.
That being said, I'd like to hear your guys' ideas that might make the mod better.

Who knows, maybe the dev will like one of our ideas and add it some day!



And since I have nothing better to do while my giga is incubating, I put together a thick list of random ideas I had in the last half hour:
-Separating the gun cabinet into 3 parts; An ammo crafting station, a gunsmithing station (that looks like a milling tool), and using the gun cabinet for storing the items that are crafted
-Different ammo types, such as armor piercing for armored dinos, and hollow point ammo for extra damage to non-armored dinos, costing extra resources per special bullet so standard rounds still get used
-Have a metal gun cabinet (or gunsafe) for metal-tier bases
-Dropping the held weapon on the ground on death for realism (but with as long an expire timer as your inventory?)
-Bolt action rifles with higher-zoom optics
-50 cal firearms and rounds of high cost and damage, low damage to non-metal structures
-A tripod-mounted machine gun you can place/pick up as a structure
-Shotguns! Double barrel, pump, semi-auto, full-auto
-Shotgun ammo types: Slug (high damage, kicks smaller dinos back, one pellet), buck shot (a few pellets, mild spread, moderate damage), bird shot (many pellets, high spread, less damage), rubber slug (a single low damage pellet for torpor inflicting and/or a quick stun)
-A dedicated bolt action tranquilizer gun like real life animal control guns (with optional scope)
-KA-BAR bayonet attachment to bayonet-studded rifles that's usable as a standalone knife
-Change material of rifles (wood to polymer conversion kits, etc)
-Rocket launcher clone, except as an RPG
-Expensive M67 grenade that doesn't destroy structures and has wide area of high damage (another mod I used had pineapple grenades but it absolutely DESTROYED structures like it was C4, it was OP and defeated the purpose of grenades, which is room clearing)

Please share your ideas and discuss!

Would like to suggest a lever action Henry Rifle. Please allow the damage to increase if one wishes to upgrade the weapons.

I'm planning on setting up a server with this mod and a few other mods :).

ini configs to adjust damage values for servers with higher (or lower) level dinos and/or modded dinos

i like the idea of the 50.cal turret. if its possible heavy machine guns with tripods? or without.smoke grenades and flares that can be dyed. some more Bullpup weapons. maybe some tech teir weapons for much later. on the topic of turrets how about mortarsthat can use mortar rounds of course and fire flares long distance also smoke. o and gas such as poision and torpor effect.

Please Please Please add F2000! And FN 5.7 pistol!
Also one cool idea I was thinking would be add underbarrel grenade launcher attachments like an M203 with various 40mm grenade types like HE-High Explosive, WP- White Phospherous Incendiary, Flechette/Shotgun blast rounds, Smoke grenades, and Gas grenades with a knockout gas as an alternative for tranqing dinos to tame! This would be great so you could have an all purpose modular weapon of your choice and design for any situation! If you do this please make sure the M14 can have an underbarrel also if possible! Oh you could also add standalone grenade launchers like an M-79 and the one that looks like a revolver crossed with a shotgun. Would be seriously awesome if its possible to do
