So I am insanely hyped for the unlocked and loaded update, and it has got me thinking about what new weapons they might add in the future? What would y’all like to see?
Here are some I have been dying to see added:
VETERAN:
Belt or drum fead autoguns, and hotshot Las-guns: Ever since the first time I got litt up by a gunner, I thought “why the hell don’t we have those?!?” Balancing these would be pretty straightforward, way more bullets per mag with similar damage to their normal counterparts, but much slower to aim, sheath/unsheath, and obviously slower to reload as well. They should also probably be high rate of fire and difficult to control for that classic “Get some!” kind of an LMG feel.
Plasma pistols: I mean… Duh.
Grenade launcher: specifically the six shot rotary grenade launchers that cadian shock troops can be equipped with on the tabletop. Balancing would be tricky, but could probably just boil down to low reserve ammo, and generally unwieldy to use.
Missile launcher: ok now this would be REALLY tricky to balance, but super cool to see. The heavy weapons squads use em on the tabletop, so at least they have models to base them off of.
Melta-gun: another no brainier,only a matter of time before it’s added but I figured I’d mention it anyway.
ZEALOT:
Adeptus arbites riot shield and mace: Honestly a bunch of arbites weapons could be great for zealot an veteran, and this one just sounds dope.
Dual wielded meles: dual chain swords, dual axes, mix and match of both, it’s a match made in heaven!
Two handed mauler chainaxe: yet another situation of “why do the heretics have those but we don’t?” A two handed chainaxe just sounds like a good time.
VETERAN/ZEALOT:
Heavy flamer: ok ok I know this is a hot topic of debate, but flamers are dope. I think an easy fix for everyone’s sanity would be to simply lower the opacity of other players flames by like 60%. Boom, problem solved. Now gimme my damn heavy flamer with backpack tanks.
Power fist: cadian veterans and sergeants use these on the tabletop, and I think they would be a riot to use in game.
Pump action shotgun: specifically the drum mag fead ones the assassination targets use. The semi-auto shotguns having pump action on their reloads kinda urks me, I want a proper pump action.
Sororitas pattern bolter: the fact we only have ONE bolter to choose from is a crime. The sororitas pattern seems like the next best choice.
OGRYN:
Heavy bolter: I mean, an ogryn is probably strong enough to wield anything a space marine could, so why not?
Multi melta: this might be a stretch, as I’m not sure an ogryn is smart enough to wield one of these, but the cool factor would be off the charts.
Portable las-canon: I adore the field gun emplacement models on the tabletop, and think an ogryn lugging around a las cannon would be the coolest thing, like, ever.
PSYCHER:
New staffs: pretty self explanatory. We’ve got warp fire, lighting, and force, but I would love to see an ice staff. Also maybe one you can use to like, syphon the life from enemies, and unleash it back at them.
