The hmg and forge gun are fine and all but they can get kinda stale. I would like too see some new heavy weapons. like a heavy laser or a heavy assault rifle *like a LMG* Maybe a heavy mass driver or heavy melee weapon .
More variety of weapons that only a heavy can use will make them way more appealing.

Arc cannon a heavy version of a constant damage weapon like flamethrowers in other games.
Vortech cannon could fire a shock wave of average damage from the gun it coult match the HMG or forge in DPS it would have fair blob shattering capabilitys
Actually any weapon that can shatter a blob would be varible mass drivers and hmg are good suppressive weapon but considering the prevalence of tightly pack blobs something to break em would be tactical |

There should be heavy variants of some of the light weapons.
Of course we have a heavy machine gun which is a heavy version of the assault rifle, and a heavy forge gun which is a heavy version of the laser rifle/sniper rifle, so why not a heavy mass driver or shotgun?
The heavy mass driver might be some sort of single shot artillery, or a gun that lays mines, and the heavy shotgun could just shoot a tight spread of explosive rounds that deal spash damage on collision. |

Why not combine Mass Driver and Shotgun into a single heavy weapon.
Cluster Grenade launcher.
Basically, a spread of miniature Mass Driver rounds fired in one pull of the trigger. Not likely to be one-shot if you're near the edge of the spread, but if you're hit directly by one of the projectiles, or if you're in the middle of the cluster, you'll be pretty quickly wiped out. |

I'm guessing there will be at least one weapon per race, there was a Plasma Cannon in a data dump from a while back, which sounds like the Arc Cannon mentioned earlier (or maybe a giant shotgun...  ), either way I think it'll be more of an AV weapon. That leaves some form of heavy laser, I'm guessing it'll be long range, possibly with more of an anti-infantry angle.
That will give us:
Forge Gun; Long range AV
Plasma Cannon; Short range AV
Heavy Laser; Long range AI
HMG; Short range AI |

A heavy gallentee weapon some form of heavy blaster that could be like a full auto shotgun perhaps like a AA 12 of modern day, would be a quite good AI close range gun i know the HMG already holds this position but i think that all roles should have every races input, maybe the amar version would be some sort of gatteling laser a la fallout, and caldari be some sort of missile shotgun(possible OP contender) |

Grideris asked CCP Wolfman about the Plasma Cannon the other day. He confirmed that it is large, green, and has "orange glowy bits". |

Sonic Wave Emitter?
Wide arc, short range but works thru some walls (with lessened effect).
That would be a good in buildings bad terrible at open areas.
having sonics would make Active Scanner your best bro.
Just a wild thought, that is
Downside would be that it would not take very much skill to use, but it wouldn't be killing anything in a flash.. |

Answer: Sledge Hammer
see: Halo, gravity hammer.
would definitely be cool imo!
If you can sneak up on anyone to point-blank range with a heavy suit, you deserve to be able to smash them flat:)
