Hello fellow mercenaries.
As a heavy it sometimes gets boring using the same heavy machine gun and forge gun all of the time.
Since racial heavies are coming in to the game why should-Št racial heavy machine guns come to?
I mean it's kinda unfair that we have only one type of hmg and one type of forge gun since Dust came but there have been a lot of light weapons added to the game. In the future I would like to see more weapons for heavies.
Thanks for reading and greetings from Iceland.

I 100% support you - and I never use heavy suits - I tend to hate them for killing me BUT that is not the point here LOL.
What kind of weapons would you like to see? I think that is the hard part.
I was thinking:
1. Shorter range flame thrower type (maybe something more spacey)
2. A Heavy Lazer rifle (both of these are a more steady stream fire weapon).
3. Lets get radical - less damage shield generating weapon.. With a shield that pops after so much damage. More of the sentinel defence tank style. |

Unfortunately, it's a very low chance for such a thing to ever be in the game.
CCP released a sort of weapon roadmap when they did damage type rebalancing, and there was one Heavy weapon for each race on the list.
So we got two comin', and then caput. Personally, I hope they are each as different from what we have now as the HMG is from the Forge Gun.
I don't mind only having 4 heavy weapons if they're all awesome and unique in some way.

i would love to see a HUGE version of the Laser Rifle, but the Beam is 10x in diameter like the size of the forge gun round but constant yellow BEAM OF DETH, and is just devastating against those pesky shield tanks!

Hey, you get to use all the new side arms too....
In seriousness, though, I agree.
What will be your legacy? Will you rise, or will you fall?

Gallente heavy weapon should be a 'drone gun' with a range of 400m, and it shoots a drone with an EM round Railgun, along with a suicide RE with plasma properties.
5 round clip, 2 clips total.
Under 28db
Officially nerfproof (predicting CR nerf February '14)

You can still be a Commando, which is a heavy, an use scambler and laser rifles.

Return to the spartan and cold attic we keep you in! My apologies to the O.P. Sometimes our redheaded step-children get out.
With regards to the topic. We've been asking a looooooooooong time. I'm just grateful the Sentinel Frames are getting the attention that has been denied. More Heavy Weapons by Fanfeat 2015 would be a godsend.

The 'merica gun from Saint's Row IV cuz I'm awesome like that. Flamethrower, Rocket Launcher, Minigun, etc. It'd be the swiss army knife of heavy weapons.

A quick question: What's the point of the "regular" version of a gun if there is a "heavy" version of the gun that is better in every way?
Generally with the SMG and the HMG we at least have the excuse that the SMG is a sidearm, and meant to be a companion weapon, not the main weapon of a suite.
However if you have a Heavy Laser Rifle for instance, are you suggesting that it is just better than the LR? If so, then what is the point of speccing into the LR when you can spec into a suit with more hp, and a better weapon than what you have?
The problem with these upgrades is that they threaten to eliminate the lower weapon, unless they are completely different. In which case the "Heavy" Laser would have a host of advantages, and drawbacks that will render it worse in some situations than the light weapon.
Another point of contention is if Heavy weapons get a weapon that is just better DPS against infantry at long ranges, then how do you balance that against medium suits using long ranged weapons.
The point of adding new weapons should be to provide new vectors for attack, and new possibilities, not making other weapons obsolete. (Which CCP could work on at any rate.) |

With the upcoming 1.8 changes Commandos are going to need new guns too. What's the point of dual light weapons if there aren't two light weapons worth using?
Amarr has scrambler rifle and laser rifle. We'll see how the Laser rifle ends up post buff.
Minmatar has combat rifle and MD. MD is underpowered right now.
Caldari has RR and Sniper rifle. This combination seems really unappealing to me as sniping tends to take over.
Gallente has AR, plasma cannon, and shotgun. Shotgun is worthless on a commando, let alone the second slowest one, plasma cannon doesn't benefit from the damage bonus since it is OHK anyway and AR is useful if you stack Tac and Duvolle but really all of these combinations suck.

Greetings
I wonder that too, but also wonder what other weapons could be heavy specific? They really don't have much options. Unless someone else can think of something unique. But normally a heavy weapon user has a 50 cal and that's about it. There isn't too much for them.
