Roles are to be fulfilled in this game to be effective. Heavys need HMGs and forge guns, not combat rifles and shotguns. Also they look like toys in the hands of heavys. Heavys should be restricted when it comes to weapon choice like mediums and scouts do. I'd love to be a scout with a assault forge gun, or boundless HMG, but they are limited. Then should Weapons be used only by the race that makes them?
Or at least efficiency/effectiveness bonuses for the race that designed them (while wearing a matching racial suit). |

Anyway, now that the HMG works again, I don't get why I still see heavies up close using ARs and CRs. The HMG is waaaaaay more lethal in it's optimal. Of course I can understand just wanting to mix it up once in a while. Which again, you shouldn't be disallowed from doing just because you're a heavy.
Because slow moving Heavies (even Militia) can fit a proto Rail Rifle (for example) and DOUBLE their effective kill range without losing any effectiveness in CQC as they also have enough shield/armour to overcome the very slight warm up time of the RR. |

I'm already lots of Militia Heavies running with proto Rail Rifles... |

That's totally a problem with heavy suits, not, y'know, a problem of the RR being overpowered. I sometimes wonder how some of the people on these forums remember to breathe.
Right. And this string is about Heavies fitting non-heavy weapons. The RR was one example. Get over yourself. |
