Com on… really?

Moar mauls, hammers and shotgans?!

WH40K has WAY more to offer.

I don’t really care about new guns… maybe Ogryn hammer… but didn’t even tried it yet.

I played new map, and then uninstalled the game (again).

For me it’s more like another pick variant. That was already my main ogryn style so I found it to feel just more of the same. Basically kickback and pick again.

Hammer should have been in game at launch.

Pick should have been added after Squat DLC teased, but instead we get picks and month of extra rations.

Considering the lack of ogryn weapons that can be said about every weapon he’s ever gotten.

Agreed. so many cool options for weapons and we get butt shanks and double barrel shotguns…

It’s a better kickback imo. I used kickback for special sniping already. Thugshot does that better.

As for the Hammer, I like how accessible the attack patterns are. I don’t understand why some weapons make it so complicated.

You’re probably one of those guys who _likes_ aiming.

Weapons with complicated patterns are for when you’ve had plenty of sleep, a healthy breakfast, and feel like wrastlin’.

Yep not really impressed by weapons but guess that means they are balanced at least 😁

Hammer a bit too slow for the thuds and fully charged overheads seem a little weak… further testing required… Thugshot is impressive though and Zealot Hammer / Crusher varient got some nice love.

sisters of squat, that would be something.

now i have to test the bonker more, i tried it in the psy but i brought ogryns down quicker with the good old karsolas, however @Index likes it a lot and found it havoc-proof.

the thugshot is excellent. i used to main the grenade gauntlet for ranged because it has 5 shots and each one can put a special down, but thugshot is like shooting back at snipers with a tank gun.

huntsman shotgun again is good at range, i used it on gun psyker where it drops something with every shot, but the ammo economy isn’t great.

To understand why its like this. Ask yourself, whats easier to create? a stick with some bumps here and there or an entirely new gun.  
I think thats the biggest reason why the only guns we’ve gotten in the past…2 years are shotguns (which are easily the easiest, simplest gun you could model, especially the double barrel)  
(paid classes dont count)

It is their job.

I think about it many times.

I am not sure if Fatshark has a clear idea on where or how to focus, to get money.

Sometimes updates look like a mess.

I understand what you mean anyways.

On that, we 100% agree. It is not even up for debate, it is objectively a mess.

They’re running a live-service business model, but outsource their main money source (skins) to a chinese sweatshop.  
They’re relying on wishes of their customers (what i mean by that is what keeps people here are 2 and only 2 things : The horde combat and playing the famous things they always wanted to play (meltagun, skitarii, bolter, guardsman, krieg etc etc) , And yet consistently fail to deliver on those wishes. Skitarii being the ONLY thing people actually requested and received. While arbiter was a welcome sight to many, nobody really asked for it.

Darktide/fatshark has clearly either barely any understanding what it is they’re making or none at all.  
The only thing uncertain here is if its only the leadership or is the whole company rotted through and through just like nurgle.

They’re not the most wacky, scifi choices, but man - the Hunting Shotgun is fun. So is the ~~Crusher~~ Cruncher. Even the new Double Barrel feels like they exactly made what I wanted to see in the game. I have yet to try the new Shield on Ogryn, but it was never one I cared for much. Thugshot is fun, too!

We did just get a whole buncha very fancy tech weapons with Skitarii, though, let’s not forget.
