Signs are pointing to everything but the pickaxes being available to all 3 human classes!

I kinda want a Blot pistol now. Just running around with the squidgiest sound effects firing ink spots at people. I’d only be marginally less effective than an Accatran!

Please be a two handed weapon for the Ogryn, PLEASE!
It will be, it was already confirmed by the devs long ago
It is. And the idle animation is you balancing the thing on your shoulder while you walk around because just the pick axe head would have to weigh around 300lbs.
Did anyone see what it does for a special attack?
Billhook grab! At least for one of the marks.

I was hoping for a handle jab like the non-holy Saltzpyre does with the holy great hammer, having no fist of faith and steel. Maybe its on one of the others.
A grab-trip super single-target stagger special, followed by a heavy overhand? That’s pretty much the dream ticket for me.
There are 3 pickaxe marks. One of the others has a thrust special.

Sadly none of these excite me. Even setting aside the Crafting stuff and the inevitable grind associated with new weapons, they’re just not terribly interesting for the most part.
Of all the myriad weapons within the 40k universe, both mundane and exotic, I’m not sure how double barrel shotguns and pickaxes shot to the top of the Development pipeline over…literally anything else.
Hunting across every source of 40k mini’s across all factions and editions going back to the 80s, I think there’s one mini in the current range and a couple in the loooong ago RT era that had double barrel shotguns out of thousands of models and dozens of factions (and the one in the current range is really a double-barrel hand cannon pistol). The existence of these weapons in 40k canon is almost nonexistent relative to all sorts of other weapons they could have included. Additionally, there’s a reason you don’t see such weapons in military use, and why they’re available almost everywhere even in places where firearms are often otherwise heavily limited, as actual weapons these things are terrible. Their reload is finicky and slow, their rate of fire atrocious, and despite what you see in Doom they don’t actually hit like a cannon firing Grapeshot. Without artificially superhuman reload speeds that never fat-finger or jam reloads and turning the muzzle blast into a magical Claymore detonation, they’re not very useful.
Pickaxes likewise tend to be relatively rare as unit weapons in 40k, as far as I can recall only on stuff like heretic and genestealer cult units (I’m sure there’s something I’m forgetting that someone will point out). Even on the DKoK Engineers where I think they get pickaxe bits, they’re just kit not weapons. Not seeing where a pickaxe over existing axes or swords is terribly exciting.
Bolt pistols might do it for some people, but I don’t really like pistols in this game in general.

I’m definitely intrigued by the Bolt Pistol as well as the Double-barrel Shotgun to a lesser degree.
Pickaxes and Shock Mauls, though? I think I’ll let other players have their fun with those.

The crapping thing should be out tomorrow and they can’t be asked to put gameplay videos of the new weapons?

There’s some gameplay up on twitch and YouTube right now.

Uuh… it’s not Garm Pattern I was expecting… the magazine lengh with that shape of the magwell looks off. Anyone know what pattern is this?!

Between the mag and the cursor clearly visible over the AdMech symbol I’m pretty sure Fatshark hacked this together at the last minute again

That only means they’re lazy to do it themselves. If they don’t have enthusiasm to share what they’re working on, I won’t have it in me either to look more in depth.

Bolt pistol wold be good as secondary to rifle, but as changer.
If i could weild 2 guns and no melle i would be interested in pistol, but as it is nope.
Any other weps looks boring. Double-barrel sounds fun, but this is not doom, so bye ammo if you stuck with armored.

Double barrel on zealot gives easy activation of Emperor’s Bullet. Before, you had to really micro it with revolver or combat shotgun. Hopefully we get a hand-cannon at some point to make it even easier.
