Resist the urge to use this gun early and try to use Glock instead. Utica M37 (Ithaca 37) - good damage, slow rate of fire and painfully slow reloading that can get you killed. but Glock can easily do that too.Ĭrossbow - lethal damage is nice, but it's super slow and has to reload often. With the scope it's super easy to hit their head and that slaps them for 100+ hp. Only redeeming quality is that it drops zombies like nobody's business. Or if it would be available earlier in the game. Steyr AUG - would be a OK gun if not for the laughable damage. Avoid it.īraddock (MAC 10) - Weak damage, wild like a bronco, won't stay on target. Guns can be sorted into three categories:ģ8 special revolver - Peashooter. In this range (level 11 - 13) gun damage starts to get really interesting and pump shotgun starts to reliably knock-down targets.Ģ) Firearms: the good, the bad and the useless Normaly level 10 is maximum but you can get it higher by Auspex to 13. The key is to get your ranged weapon feat through the roof. like checking for guards through walls and ceilings with auspex, getting one more level of sneak above the one you get from book, and even blood-buffing it higher sometimes. Elizabeth Dane is peace of cake but in Warehouse and Traffikyou will have to pull some tricks. If you want to make guns work for you early in the game as tremere or toreador you'll need the same bonus XPs that Malk is getting easily by obfuscating his way through. Torro with maxed ranged skill and celerity is pretty much invincible, and in my experience most powerfull character that you can create. Auspex is great ability- apart from improving your ranged feat it also works like "bloodbuff" for hacking PC's outside your league. Celerity is barely noticable at lvl 1 or 2 but starts to get interesting at 3 and really shines at 4 and 5. Toreador - First upgrade your auspex + perception so that you're accurate and do good damage with guns, than around late downtown / early hollywood start pumping celerity + later firearms after Romero teaches you level 3. Like Malk you have amazing skill for free - trance - slap somebody with it, than feed on him or blast him up-close while he stands still. For firearm skill use the same strategy as Malk. At Chinatown and beyond you won't know what to do with all the XP anyway so you can max out Thaum and boil Ming Xiao. Than focusing on auspex + perception and leaving Thaumaturgy for late game. For gun toting tremere I'd recommend using blood shot (for free from beginning of game) in SM for early fights like blood guardian and Kathayan. Blood shot is good as early game "weapon" in SM, Purge is OK complementary skill for gunslinger, blood shield is good for protection from aggrevated damage, blood salvo enables you to finnish Romero's quest the hard way. Apart from blood boil (excelent boss killer) I found thaumaturgy skills only situationaly good. Tremere - you can specialise in thaumaturgy, guns or even combine both. Beautiful thing is that as malk you can completely disregard sneak skill - you have obfuscate. Stop someone with hysteria, run up to his face, steady your aim for maximum damage and blast his head off. Another blessing you have (for free at level 1 of dementation, from the beginning) is hysteria, it works really well with heavy hitting guns like shotguns, Colt anaconda or Jaime Sue. Get firearms skill to 2 by reading books from Trip's pawnshop, than get it trained to 3 by Romero in Hollywood. Even Gunslinger Malk should get Obfuscate to level 2 - it helps with sneaking through some parts of game ( Santa Monica warehouse, Traffik quest, Museum.) where sneaky aproach gives you more XP that you can use on your auspex and perception early. Some parts of the game can be (and should be) completely ghosted. Malkavian - you can either fight by melee ambushing foes from obfuscate or gun them down just as effectively. I've played lot of VTMB but only with auspex clans, so I'd like to hear experience from someone who tried gunslinger brujah. For malkavian and tremere firearms are one of two possible combat styles that both work well and toreador can get so good with guns he'll put Selene from Underworld to shame. For gangrel, nosferatu and ventrue guns really may not the best combat style. Recently I saw another post about how guns are useless in VTMB 1, I've seen similar stuff before and feel like I have to set the record straight.ĭifferent clans have different proficiency with firearms, If you want to play gunslinger you should look for a clan with auspex, celerity or both.
