i would LOVE both a vet lmg AND maybe even the option to have a ammo backpack that both boosts your total ammo but ALSO takes away your melee weapon AND need to reload as long as you have ammo so i could imagine that you would have a vet with a proper heavy hitting lmg running around with like AT LEAST 1000 rounds if not 1500 rounds just lighting ANYTHING infront of them up with a near endless stream of bullets but as a trade off, cant really just put their gun on their back cause of both logically how that sorta setup would work out physically speaking AND for balance reasons…
as for the thing that made me think this was the first like 10 seconds of this guys video where he showed a gif of a imperium soldier with a lmg like i think we should get
also i will offer another option to for the ammo backpack where it takes away your melee heavy attack cause you could say you haveta still hold your lmg with one hand at least but you could use the other to swing even if you cant swing as hard as if you didnt haveta carry your lmg if NO melee weapon would end up being TOO big of a nerf for using the ammo backpack.
no melee weapon? I don’t even have words for this betrayal/heresy. But yeah stubbers could have been in the game yesterday, especially with the devs making like 70 round magazine autoguns (that still have box magazines in the model). And the dreg gunner also has a stubber.
It jus goes to show that many Darktide players are not playing it for the Warhammer lore, but instead for the coolness aspect of it all. Darktide is basically the new Killing Floor.
Cool factor slowly dropping off tho.
i mean its more like a lot of players jumped into warhammer lore from here and from what i have seen, there is as much president for traditional guns and in fact, while las guns are mass produced, sh*t like autoguns are mass produced even more but you only see lasguns in combat that requires more of punch cause while they are the emporers flashlights, they can at least punch LARGE holes in concreate as opposed to autoguns which are pretty much just higher caliber versions of modern guns meaning their power is good but not even close to things called flashlights despite again, being able to punch holes in concrete.
srly my guy stop with the doomer talk especially since the reason the game fell off was only cause of its bad launch which mind you for any fatshark devs reading this, WAS a serious problem and while the devs dont have the power on their own to tell the shareholders what to do, you DO have the power to say you arent going to work on something that wont be given the time it needs to perform well as a group and tell them to let you finish it and do it right or you’d all quit to bargin and try to force delays that woulda given the game the chance to shine from the get go.
I also want Hotshot Volleyguns and Belt-fed Stubbers something awful, Vet would get both but I wouldn’t mind if Zealot also got to enjoy the Heavy Stubber. But what would blow my mind is if we got this bad boy.
Imagine playing as Vet and rolling up with a freaking Rotor Cannon like the 40k version of Blain Cooper with Ol Painless.
I think it would be all right if it was a reverse stick handle (like on a man-portable minigun or the older heavy bolter marine model), but normal grip and perpendicular handle looks awkward.
