How can I get rid of/disable AWARD weapons?

Post by SkinnyODST »

This weird thing happens where the award weapon has more bullet spread than the normal version. I CANNOT for the life of me figure out how to stop it. I edit the spread and stuff in it`s common odf but nothing happens. SOOOO, is there a way to either disable the award weapons or a way to edit how many points you need to unlock them so I can change it to a huge number? I just don`t want my weapons to get changed...EVER.

P.S: I`ve spend HOURS trying to figure this crap out so if anyone can help me with this and solve it...well...your like Harambe to me :funny2:

If you're creating your own custom side to use in a new map, or replace the stock side, the simplest way would be to remove the WEAPONSECTION inside a unit's ODF.

Like so:

Code: Select all

WEAPONSECTION = 5
WeaponName     	= "cis_weap_award_shotgun"
WeaponAmmo     	= 6
Pretty much every stock unit's WEAPONSECTION = 5 will be their award weapon. Delete this and you're good to go.

Well...you see...I already knew that, BUT, the reason I haven`t done it is because of a problem that doing that causes. If you do that, whenever you "unlock" the award weapon in game, the entire weapon itself will disappear from your inventory! You try it, do all that, go into a game, get enough kills, when you see the "Elite Rifle" unlock notification in the kill feed, switch weapons to your pistol (as an example) and then back again to the rifle. AND....it will not be there. SO your stuck with a pistol.
Thanks for trying to help me though. Really appreciate it ;)

Odd...I've never had that happen to me before.

In that case maybe replace the weapon in WEAPONSECTION = 5 with just the standard weapon?

EDIT: While I'm thinking about it, maybe removing the weapons altogether from your side's folder may help.
