Just noticed the new ogryn set description. ‘More used to carrying a heavy welder or steel cutter than an autocannon-’
I wonder if this is a hint to new content, or another GOOD OL PLASMA GUN moment. Ogryn needs a large, new firearm yesterday. Not that polearms aren’t fun.
those are chaos worshippers…hence the “a bit much”. Maybe for zealot, but shock maul and power sword is ridiculous. Id say power sword and a regular mace, or a regular sword and a power maul is more reasonable
I like all of them, but I don’t know if ogryn lorewise can use the las cannon, rotor cannon, heavy bolter, and/or chain knife. Most of these ideas don’t have burst limiters, are too “complex” for them to use(chain weapons have to be turned on/are less blunt), are more space marine weapons, and/or are too flimsy/fragile for them to use. The chain knife is also concept art for the chaos ogryn(not that it necessarily matters though). Ripper gun is essentially there heavy bolter as well(both in lore and in game). Also a lot of power weapons for the other classes, and I think its better to keep them more unique/with less variants.
Ogryn and Psyker need the most attention for weapons(unique weapons). Staffs/force weapons for psyker, and big guns/unique non generic melee weapons for ogryn.
Thats the issue i have with rotary guns in most videogames (looking at you fireteam elite), they are just made into another LMG.
A rotary gun can have insane rates of fire. Up to 6000 rounds per minute i think. 100 rounds a second!
Ignoring the fact that even an ogryn probably couldn’t stay standing while shooting something like that, 100 rounds per second should shred everything its pointed at. Killing unarmored enemies quickly, and shredding the armor of tougher enemies (maybe in the form of stacking brittleness). Still killing large enemies but in a way thats even less ammo efficient.
The limit on it, i feel, should come from ammo. They shouldn’t have much so that it almost acts as another ability. An ability who’s use is dependent on ammo rather than a timed cool down.
Any who, I’m rambling, i should probably make my own topic for my unreasonably stong opinions on a type of gun in videogames haha
