Please do not actually try this in real life. I feel like an old man for having to remember the average age of Painday players nowadays...
Special thanks to Offyerrocker for doing the funny dart code, as well as PlayBONK coming out of retirement for these animations!
The Stampede is based on the Airbow and has no level unlock.
This performs about what you'd expect of bringing a toy against real ordinance, so you have nobody to blame but yourself for thinking this is supposed to be useful.
The only saving grace this toy has is the high concealment, which is unrealistic comparing the size of this to something like a Glock 26, but it's a gameplay concession to make the Nerf gun not completely useless.
Also beware of the Stampede having ZERO ammo pickup from the usual ammo boxes. This is to replicate that awkward pause in Nerf battles where everyone pauses the battle to refill their darts, with some being lost due to ricochets. I honestly expect this to get you killed against the cops, but you decided to bring a literal toy against real ordinance so that's your fault.
Known Issues:
- The Dart damage code is currently incompatible with More Weapon Stats.
- The Poison Dart actually deals damage instead of being a joke about microplastics.
- Yes I know the viewmodel isnt perfect and it's obvious when you inspect the gun. The Stampede's weird profile made me try the RPK, AA12, and even a custom animations, but the Bootleg's ended up being the least sucky and I went with that hold model.
Probable Future Asked Questions:
Q: Is Queen PlayBONK coming back to animate weapons again?
A: ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Q: Can you guys make a Nerf gun joke ammo conversion for the vanilla weapons like the AMCAR or Compact 5?
A: Dubious realism aside, I'm not sure it's an easy port since this is a modification of the Airbow code and the projectile code is notoriously fickle. But if you wish to work with offyerrocker for it, feel use these assets for that.
Q: The real Stampede came with the Blast Shield; where is my 100% Accurate Nerfbeard shield?
A: As much as I'd love a 100% Accurate Nerfbeard shield, the modeler did not make that.
Q: If I play with friends/public games, how will the dart pickups look to other players?
A: Offy says the darts will not spawn on other players' games.
tfw the zip doesn't even get that luxury
The original plan for the Stampede was to have it semi stealth viable by giving the darts shotgun pushback, but the April 1rst deadline creeped up on us faster than we expected.
The Zip on the other hand, the joke behind it is that it's practically worthless no matter how you try to use it. Giving it high concealment would have given it a use for equipping it as a concealment stat booster, which goes against the nature of the joke.
@rjc9000 you could update it later so the darts have pushback or something.
