Zealot should get a grenade launcher

its exactly as i said, zealot would be so much better if they had a single grenade launcher, maybe something that just has 3 shots but still a grenade launcher of some kind. no the bolters aren’t grenade launchers they have explosive bullets.

  1. Take the proximity +dmg% perk
  2. Leap into a pack of ragers
  3. Detonate!
  4. No more ragers

Sold!

Until then, BP with Lethal Proximity and Execution will have to do.

But I agree. Grenade launcher is one of the basic IG weapons you would expect.

I want a grenade launcher for the sound fx alone :joy:

While I’m not against a Grenade Launcher for a human archetype, I think it should be a a Vet only weapon, and work more like the Ogryn’s Grenadier Gauntlet than the Rumbler

Yes agree. It doesn’t really fit with the melee characteristics of zealot.

Vet deserves a nice special weapon :ok_hand:

I disagree, a weapon that has bad matchup against common shooters it’s better used by a Zealot.

A grenade launcher will be almost exclusively for disrupting ranged gunners though…unless I misunderstood your point

It’s not about Vet-> Ranged and Zel-> Melee

It’s about thematic match-up.

Vet exclusive atm: Shovels; Munitorum PSword (Might see different PSword in the future); Plasma Gun; Lucius Lasgun

Zel exclusive: Evicerator; Crusher; THammer; Heavy Sword and Flamer.

Veteran should get (as exclusive to them):

  • Hunting Lances (Only War feature them while not having mounted combat)
    Variants of Plasma, Krack and Shock tips
  • Grenade Laucher
  • Other Imperial Guard only weapon

Zealot should get (as exclusive to them):

  • Chain Flails
  • Vindicator
  • Other non Imperial Gaurd weapons that are themed with the Ministaurum

i feel like countering gunners is a big enough reason to use the grenade launcher, gunners slow you down a ton by shooting you and thats kinda annoying to say the least.

I don’t expect a granade launcher to be very ammo efficient. With a bunch of spread out gunners and shooters my idea would be to suppress them and eliminate them with melee.
I would imagine it more to be a tool for elites/hi density disruption.

exactly!
