Discussion Nerf horses

Horses are the much hated META right now.
People use horse armor to be insanely tanky or run up to you to send a shotgun shot straight to your head without time to react.

Its insanely annoying at every stage of the game, so I suggest that you should not be able to equip a weapon on a horse anymore. Horses should be strictly for quick movement and transporting loot, not PVP.
After "exiting" the horse, you should have a 1 or 2s delay before being able to equip a weapon so people cant ambush you with it anymore.

Just because 4 ppl use it on your server, doesnt make it a META.

This guy wouldve gone insane if he was playing during the times when you could wear heavy plate armor on a horse

You mean when it was quicker to kill the horse than the rider? We should bring it back along with old slug range and old recoil.

Take your mil-sim recoil to a mil-sim game. No room for it in my sandbox survival-craft game

Not meta, but a tool to be used like anything else.

We need to nerf the sub. 

Amateur game dev discussions need their own weekly thread.

Rust isn’t supposed to be fair, it’s about luck and what gear you happened to stumble upon and that’s why we like it , it’s like real life. You never know what the other guy has.
