Well we already have weapons with which are Melee and ranged. With the Grenadier Gauntlet.
The question is if we’re able to have that in the melee slot instead.
That’s not really what a Hotshot pack is though, like there are Lasgun that can temporarly upgrade their shooting capacities, but you can’t really switch from one another.
Hellgun if it become would make the Recon lasgun redundant as the high RoF and Damage gun it is in the lore
would love to see some experimental weapons to see what the engine can do… the psyker mind control… or ogryn hook/ball and chain/‘Hulk’ slam/Corpse… Zealot electro-Whip… veteran Grav gun caltrops/proximity mine/pinning crossbow/poison/acid/railgun/longsights… but be much more fun to see some enemy varients in chaos/nurgle/slannesh/mutants…
Ah yeah, I always get hotshots mixed up with other stuff.
To make helguns fit, you could probably tweak the bullpup lasgun to be more like a smg — short range, high control and maneuverability while the helgun would be higher damage, higher recoil, and no flashlight. Damage output isn’t the only thing that makes one weapon better than another.
I also wouldn’t really mind if they played it a little fast and loose with the lore to make weapons interesting and distinct from what’s already there, a helgun could be a beam weapon for all I care, say it’s a regional variant, whatever.
You clearly haven’t been keeping up with current event’s
