I like playing support in most games and 'attempting' to play Logistics I feel is overly hindered by the repair tool.
I'm not commenting on how it works or it's stats but rather the slot it takes, I think it should be a pistol slot item allowing logistics to bring more to the field and contribute more into a support role.
This would also address the minor issue I've been having quick swapping to the repair gun, because it's not a weapon, you can only access it via radial dial which in heated situations can be clumsy to use fast, being a pistol item would allow a quick tap of R2 to get it out.
This is just my personal opinion and in my mind make playing a logistic a little more acceptable. |

No. Logistics allready has enough easy ways to get points.
Weapon slots are for weapons.

While unlike DustEvo I wouldn't say current application of the rep tool is "easy" I don't think that making it a weapon on a Logi suit which has only one weapon slot is a good call. Logi already face shortfalls in combat and it's important that they not just be a weight carried by the rest of the team when it comes to the firefight.

Logi's are kind of supposed to be weak in combat, their more about utility and helping the team survive and stay in the fight or battle more efficiently, currently as they are they are rather confined in what role they can play, especially before they can actually acquire a logi suit which restricts them to 1 support item.
It should be at least an 'option' to supplement the pistol with certain support items that are handled like guns, such as the repair tool or scanner.
Remembering of course support items use up more power grid and CPU then side arms, which may weaken another part of the build in compensation. |

I personally think moving the repair tool to the sidearm slot would be fine (assuming you gave all logi suits a pistol slot again, balanced accordingly).
That would actually help out new players a fair bit. They would be able to use repair in their sidearm slot and still have their equipment slot free for injector/hive/uplink, letting them support their team better. |
