Soldier Sorajord Subsonic Synthesis RISE of LEGION 28	Posted - 2014.01.22 05:08:00 - [1] - Quote With the release of new heavies and scouts, as well as sidearms, I must ask the question. Are there going to be any new heavy weapons? I find there needs to be a Gallente Heavy weapon, as I am a Gallente Specialist. Yes, I love me some Federation Freedom. But I need my Heavy to have a big gallente heavy weapon so that I can boast my faction. Please respond. Love you and thanks in advance! -Sorajord Honor, Teamwork, Victory. I may only be a meager soldier now. But I will become.. *Legend!* Gallente Loyalist
Fizzer94 L.O.T.I.S. D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 1489	Posted - 2014.01.22 05:11:00 - [2] - Quote Probably not. I would expect them fairly soon however, because after 1.8, they will be the only baseline content left besides the Amarr Grenade and Amarr/Minmatar Vehicles.

Vitharr Foebane Living Like Larry Schwag 506	Posted - 2014.01.22 05:12:00 - [5] - Quote amarr has been the only race with a heavy since dust began, and do you see any heavy lasers? expect a heavy plasma weapon in about... 2 to 4 years from now... Thanks CCP for making the HMG Heavy viable again :3 That's no excuse to slack off on releasing a heavy laser though =.=

A lot of great changes plus new suits and guns are coming in 1.8 to be happy about. I do hope the next content patch will have the missing heavy weapons, I'm not a heavy but its a big item priority for me.

The heavy can field any weapon. What is the point of a heavy suit without a heavy weapon? Really? It has no real advantages over a medium suit, except perhaps its ability to breach rooms, but a medium can outflank for a similar result in a way a heavy can't.

The heavy can field any weapon. While they CAN use any weapon they shouldn't have to resort to a light weapon... It's been about what 2 years now and STILL only two heavy weapons. It's disgraceful and makes me feel like a scrub when I am forced to use a light weapon in a heavy slot to be relevant in a midrange firefight. PLEASE CCP give us a HEAVY mid range weapon(laser).

The heavy can field any weapon. I don't know about you, but I don't like heavies running around with Rail Rifles. Unless you like getting Mowed down by a heavy with around 1000 health with a Kaalakiota Rail Rifle with Two complex damage mods, I'd like a new heavy weapon. Some Laser or projectile weapon would be nice. Also, it is my belief that the heavy Should be a freaking heavy. I'm getting tired of people running heavies just for rifles. Really? GO GET A MEDIUM SUIT. New heavy weaponry would promote actual use of heavy weaponry. Currently people only use the Forge (except a few outliers that are true heavies) Honor, Teamwork, Victory.

Love you and thanks in advance! -Sorajord I honestly believe that there sure as hell should be more heavy weapons, 6 more to be exact. Why 6 more? Right now we have only two races' heavy weapons, the Minmatar HMG and the Caldari Forge Gun. The HMG is anti-infantry while the Forge Gun is anti-vehicle... So figuring 4 races with two categories of heavy guns per race gives you a total of 8 heavy weapons needed. We already have two, so we are still in need of at least 6 more. What should they be like? Well here's my initial take at it... Amarr Heavy anti-personnel = Gatling Pulse Laser Heavy anti-vehicle = Heavy Laser Cannon Caldari Heavy anti-personnel = Gatling Rail Gun Heavy anti-vehicle = Forge Gun Gallente Heavy anti-personnel = Heavy Automatic Shotgun Heavy anti-vehicle = Heavy Blaaster Minmatar Heavy anti-personnel = Heavy Machine Gun Heavy anti-vehicle = High Caliber Cannon And if they have time for their miscellaneous/explosive category maybe a small missile launcher.

Racial building variants are also missing. 1.8 will probably have another Caldari Building (Production facility) but Minmatar and Amarr is nowhere to be seen. And we still only have 2 MCCs. Sign up for Caldari FW and defeat the evil Gallente Overlords!

I like your ideas fellow fattie, but we're only getting one heavy weapon per race. (At least, according to the dev blog where they laid out the damage profile of unreleased weapons.) I just hope that new heavy weapons don't retread the same ground as the HMG and Forge Gun. I'm praying that whatever the Amarr laser weapon is that it's decent at mid range, and that whatever the Gallente weapon is, it's totally awesome and quirky and nothing like the other weapons.

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Covert Intervention 8244	Posted - 2014.01.22 22:23:00 - [26] - Quote As nice as it would be to have a set of heavy weapon as well, let's be realistic. CCP can't develop all of the things simultaneously. They're simply unable to. Thus, they need to prioritise. By bringing racial parity to dropsuits there's something for almost everyone, including heavies. Level 8 Forum Warrior Lenin of the glorious armoured revolution
