I cannot wait for the Gallente heavy to spec into, I shall fondly call it the "Rhino" and cover it in armor plates and dmg mods.

These changes coupled with the upcoming armor buffs should make any heavy viable (no promises, just theorycrafting) without being OP. The very least I will look badass.

Please don't ask me when, I just have very, very fond memories from that Fanfest picture.

Until then, I will slog around in my minimally skilled Skinweave and MH-82 fit.

I actually remember the original murder taxi just being a LAV with one or two heavies that jumped out and straight up murdered everyone, back when they were OP beasts and the LAV less easy to maneuver.

Now, that Limbus, I also want to skill into it and drive my own in my heavy suit.

Just because I don't know, is there a repair bubble around it? If so, can it be ammo/repair as well?

Everybody please turn your attention to this "dev". prime example that CCP doesnt pley their own games. And to answer your question: no the logi function is based on a lock on which breaks when you simply look away for a second after activating it. But because you picked my old idea of a repair bubble/ammo resuply module up im not gonna get medieval on your bum.

Heavies are already sort of OP. really the only disadvantage to them is their slow movement speed. Other than that, they have an immensely powerful gun with 2000 RPM, and have tons of HP.

NOOOOO WHYYYY!!!!!!?!??!?!

Why tempt me with the glorious Gallente love machine....oh sweet torment, thy name is racial variants.

agreed. I want a Gallente heavy already.

So i am a heavy player and will try to be as least biased as possible.


Turn speed changes.

They needed to happen. Heavies are already the slowest and biggest target in the game, why should i be insta done for because it takes 3 seconds to turn around even with sensitivity maxed. (DS3)

We already have enough disadvantages such as a limitation to CQC combat. (Hmg)


Armour buff.

This really doesn't give that much more armour a plate, maybe 1 or 2 more bullets in the long run, but the real advantage is that were 50% faster now. Movement penalties are cut in half on complex plates, so no longer will we be waddling constantly. only when we're out of are incredible low amount of stamina


Slower strafe speeds.

This helps all suits but i believe it helps the heavies the most. We have a devastating CQC weapon so the ability to track a target is very important. Slower strafe speeds make that a little bit easier.


Disable squad vision sharing.

This helps everybody a ton. Scouts the most, and heavies the least. Were slow so most likely to get spotted more often, and we usually center ourselves near the action or on top of a letter.


Lav Nerf.

Heavies always had the hardest time dodging these damned things. Were too slow and can't dodge them. This nerf helps heavies a lot.


HMG recoil reduction skill.

I like it better than the current skill we have, just sounds more useful. But i'll have to see it in practice.



So as you can see the heavies get a lot of buffs/ stealth buffs. This will finally make the class a CQC king like it always should have been.

I don't see these changes being overpowered. Just a huge improvement

Heavies are no where near OP. That is crazy talk

Heavies are already sort of OP. really the only disadvantage to them is their slow movement speed. Other than that, they have an immensely powerful gun with 2000 RPM, and have tons of HP.

Ok then, besides movement speed, tell me one disadvantage to being a heavy.

cant jump
large hit box
no meaningful skills on dropsuit that increases the power of being a heavy
no equipment slots
low sprint duration which is a result of low stamina
low stamina recovery rate
high scan profile



and for all that we get a higher base hp the ability to use heavy weapons and high melee damage

Think of it as a repair-tool-on-wheels - Driver locks on to you, and when you start taking damage, fires the repair-module, and then gets out and spools up his/her own HMG >:]

We are all wanting it to be area effect, or auto-lock-on, but CCP Wolfman, in his eternal wisdom, has not seen fit to grant us this (yet).

As for Ammo, I'm hoping to see something like a nanohive module, with _some_ restrictions (temporary depletion or similar), in which case I'll make you immortal('er) and have infinite ammo, while you go Rhino-berserk.
