[Mod suggestion] Dual wielding weapon

[khun_poo]

*Not the simple sidearm mod though 

I feel like early gun and weapon like handgun and knife are no match against rifle and long sword in late game. So, I guess dual wielding will allow them to make it viable.

The detail I like would be something that allow pawn to carry the same type of weapon to double the fire/ hit rate but suffer the manipulation penalty like -30% (to reduce the chance to hit a fair bit). Also, reduce exp gain from shooting and melee skill while dual wielding by 60% too.

The gun list that allow to dual wield are;
Auto pistol, Revolver, Machine pistol and Triple rocket launcher .

Melee;
Shiv, Knife, Gladius, Mace.

Thank you for reading

Even -30% to hit chance seems low. You're hip firing two weapons, you're not going to be nearly as accurate with two revolvers compared to a single revolver, you can't aim down the sights or control the recoil as well. If it was a colonist with low skill, they'd probably be more effective just using one gun than two.

As for melee weapons, I think if they have a decent melee skill for the knife/shiv and high for gladius/mace, but a low skilled person also isn't gonna as effective wielding two swords. Sure, they can just walk forward and stab a guy with both knives, but if the person is actually fighting back with another weapon, you're probably also better off just using one weapon.

Thanks for the reply.

I mean, that with the bionic attach, colonist can surpass 100% cap of manipulation stats. So, I think that -30% maybe a bit too low for a penalty.

The point of my suggestion is that to make the said weapon to be more useful in the late game. the amount of number can be change though.
