NPC INJURY:
Before discussing the actual weapons I’ll comment on the current ways that NPCs react to damage. When shot, NPCs do a fairly convincing job of recoiling, stumbling and falling over. The problem is that once they’re on the ground they immediately jump back to their feet or just stand up (unlike in the Beta where they would struggle for several seconds before initiating the animation to get back up.) This applies to the hand to hand combat as well and leaves the player little time to problem solve if there’s more than one NPC.
I’m in favor of implementing a tiered injury system that would adjust the NPC’s recoil and recovery animations based upon how much damage they’ve received or the severity of their initial injury and where. This would allow some of the weaker caliber weapons such as the Tac-SMG to be useful for at least incapacitating an NPC and removing them as a threat. It could also include features like an NPC dropping his weapon if he takes too much damage in his shooting arm,then possibly going to pick it up again and shooting with the other hand. NPCs could limp or struggle with moving quickly when too much damage is taken to the legs, etc. If an NPC is incapacitated from taking too much damage, they could lie injured on the ground similar to the NPCs in Blood Money and Absolution and pass out either unconscious or deceased from blood loss. Incapacitated NPCs could possibly be treated and revived by another NPC before trying to evacuate the map for medical attention. It'd also be neat if medical personnel were added to the game much like those in GTA V.
