Police Officer
Police Officer is the firearms occupation — useful, but only if you actually have ammunition.
Summary
Starts with aiming and reloading bonuses geared toward effective gunplay.
Bonuses
- Bonus to Aiming
- Bonus to Reloading
- Faster, more accurate firearm use
Firearm Focus
The Police Officer makes guns viable earlier by raising the two skills that govern hit chance and reload speed. With a pistol and ammo, an early Police Officer can handle threats a melee character would have to flee.
The Ammo Caveat
Firearms are loud and ammunition is finite. This occupation is only as good as your ammo supply and your discipline in not wasting it. As a long-term survivor you will still fight mostly with melee.
