Hey all. Lot of us are missing out on some of our armory because we need to ‘keep up’ with the group, or outpace it so we can get the plasteel that’s always in short supply while they rush center, so we have to have a knife or pistol.
I hate this as psyker, since my blitz is literally ‘nothing’ and I can run faster with a knife then with ‘nothing.’ Same would seem to apply to a grenade as a pistol, (okay maybe a knife is less weight but still…)
Let us go as fast as any with the blitz equipped so we can catch up when we need to, but still bring a big sword/rifle and the fun of having it.
I think they’re saying that nobody else collects plasteel, so they need to run a fast weapon in order to both collect it all and keep up with the group.
To that, I say it isn’t usually necessary in my experience. I’m all OCD about checking all the known item spawn points and I rarely have trouble keeping up with the group. I almost never use the “fast” weapons.
I do understand what they mean though. In cases where the rest of the team are on zealots or ogryns using builds have the ability to just charge off, while you’re on a vet or psyker that has no real additional mobility outside of specific weapons, it’s easy to lag behind the pack if you use other weapon types.
The knife was fine when movement was its advantage, now its just goofy idiot tier and the movement speed should probably be given to tactical axe or something in need of it.
