Rated average
Nice addition for variation from the usual rifles. Great for hunting smaller game however the animation is buggy, the ammo cartridge doesn't align with the barrel, the ball sits in the guys hand when loading it. Would also have liked to see the smoke linger a bit more and for the rifle to have a miss fire mechanic.

Re: Muzzleloaders | .50 Cap Lock Muzzleloader
One of the most unique and interesting weapons of the game. It's definitely not a high performance weapon, the target has to be under 40 meters away to guarantee good accuracy and penetration and the reload is so slow that there won't be a single animal left in 300 meter radius by the time you are ready to take a second shot, if that sound interesting to you then it's a weapon worth getting.
The reason I gave it only 4/5 is that the reload animation has been bugged for a very long time. The weapon also has a red front sight which looks a bit too modern for it and screws for scope which also don't look that great when you are using iron sights.

Recently came back after a year off and was amazed that this bug still exists. Is it really that hard to fix? Shame really. Rated it average too.waiora wrote:Rated average

Re: Muzzleloaders | .50 Cap Lock Muzzleloader
I recently acquired it, along with the trapper outfit. Now I'm hooked. I play on RFF alot because I really like the scene, and the combo of trapper with a big ol' smokepole feel great.
Especially when you stalk a nice big buck. I've found that bears are very hard to kill over a range of 50m, but I've taken out a blacktail in a single shot at 130m. with it.
But then, it's not a sniper rifle; it's meant as a stalking gun.
The animation is awesome, the sound is great. I do feel however that the killing power is a bit too low.
Therefore rated 4/5

It´s the most frustrating rifle in the game. Make it hard to rate because challenges are nice but balanced with frustration :p The tracking sessions trying to hunt brown bear with it and not down it on first shot jeeeeeeeeesus!

Rated Poor
I love the animation of the reload and the smoke but I find this gun has very poor penetration. I also find it is quite unrealistic to have this gun used for long distance shots.

Rated Good
I like this rusty old rifle, its reloading animation, that huge cloud of smoke and the fact I love the most about it:
In Hirschfelden for example everything except the birds is dead meat when it reaches closer than 50 meters.
However I take it with me way too less

Re: Muzzleloaders | .50 Cap Lock Muzzleloader
Performance is really low... An example: https://www.thehunter.com/#profile/_dfa ... /596780054 - small black bear got 4 bullets to legs and 1 to stomach and still was running very fast. So it's definitely for deers and coyotes.
