I would like to see more heavy weapons as there are only two currently.
1. Heavy Shotgun- Fires a large mass of plasma that separates mid flight giving it maximum damage at close range but a wider area of effect at medium range. Requires charge up time and is designed to be used in choke points to deny enemy infantry access to small corridors and rooms.
2. Heavy Laser- Basically a larger version of current beam laser. Has shorter range and similar heat build up but much higher feedback when overheated and takes longer to cool down and reload.
3. Nova Axe- Battle axe version of nova knives taking charge time but with far more damage and reach, you know a heavy wielding a huge plasma covered battle axe would cause some bladders to drain.
Just suggestions, shotgun would need something to prevent it from being OHK on anything within two feet. |

I think anything like the nova axe should be melee range maybe a bit beyond to make sure it doesnt become TOO powerful.
Heavy laser sounds awesome actually but it might need to vent heat quite often due the fact it would rip shields like a chainsaw in hot butter.
Heavy shotgun reverse the idea (that is best at medium range but poor in close) and it will be awesome heavys currently lack any true ability to suppress so a wide range weapon would be awesome |

I'd like a weapon that emits a forward wave of damage (like a cone AoE). It'd overheat in 1 shot and take quite a while to cool down (say 10 sec), but it'd do pretty devastating damage. This instant overheat feature would play in to the weapon feedback damage perk that heavies get. |

Hmm that could work but you would be reliant on buddies to guard say say a possible choke point while on cd... Actually that would help balance issues +1 |

I-¦d really like that. You could add some more weapons from this post of my old character. |

Actually I was considering ideas for causing this to be primarily a medium range weapon. Did not want it to be close range unless you are shooting something as big as a tank. I would assume that requiring charge time would help as it gives the enemy time to move out of the small kill zone at close range. Overall I wanted to see it as a medium range weapon with a wide spread allowing you to hit multiple targets at once. |

No.1 is basically the plasma cannon. Although I'm growing to like it, I think it should have been a heavy weapon, and ironically I hoped it would be a heavy weapon like No.2.
Before the nova knives became viable, I hoped to see a nova sword that would be as effective as the current knives, but I think an axe would be a little OTT. We aren't in Soul Calibur. |

Heavy Weapon Idea:
Tactical Missile Launcher
Heavy sits down, fires weapon, controls the missile's flight, has a splash dmg of 10m, does like 500 Dmg, 500 Splash Damage
Assault Varient:
Greater AOE, less splash dmg
Breach Variant:
Less AOE, Less Splash Dmg, Greater Direct damage - intended for AV
You guys like?
Maybe have the fire button be the detonate button in midflight?
Values can be modified |

I was thinking something like this but it is a Backpack with a laser guiding gun.

Nah, I dont like the tracking with gun notion.

Nice, but I do not think fire would be much threat to dropsuits with so much shield and armor plating. |

This is actually the idea I was going for with the heavy shotgun, maybe it could fire a mass of plasma which operates the same as a forge gun round but then separates after a few meters spreading like buck shot to give it that suppression aspect, and it would only function differently than a forge gun at medium range. The plasma should disperse much sooner than a forge gun round as it has separated and it would allow the heavy to even suppress vehicles as they would not want to risk taking a round that is equal to a forge gun.

Honestly there should be ALOT of new heavy weapons, considering we only have 2 and yet there are 4 races with different technology types and different ways of doing damage and 3 seperate ways of attack. Close, Medium, Long range. Thats not even counting anti vehicle or weapon attack speeds.
However.. I saw a post on here about heavies having a Melee attack. Honestly. If you are a heavy with a melee weapon. If you can even hit them at all, it needs to be a noncharge up instant kill weapon. Because really... You are a heavy. Why not bring a nuclear powered diamond monofiliment. overcharged lazer cutter in your heavy suit? (feel free to add more BS modifiers into that statement. Its all for the lores)

Laser HMG variant would be pretty pimp. An anti-shield variant basically. A mortar would be pretty awesome - something for High-damage High AoE area denial weapon. Give us a little more control over the landscape, and really gels with the idea of increasing size of explosive weaponry (Flaylock -> Mass Driver -> Mortar). Definitly maybe some kind of hybrid heavy weapon, though I cant think of an actual area that needs filling which would necessitate or allow introduction of that sort of weapon. Maybe an upscaled AR? Like a heavy AR - same range, increased damage, lowered RoF.
Heavy weapons really just need more than 2 types. Ffs, there are 4(5? am i forgetting one?) sidearms!! And it's not even a primary weapon type! |

This sounds like an amazing idea, since Heavies are supposed to be point defense units, if you have them guard a rear point then they can still assist with the forward groups by using mortars for artillery support into other control points. |

Sounds pretty cool, and if you are good enough you could even scare that red zone sniper tank =D. It was suggested before that heavies should get some kind of missile launcher that requires you to stop and deploy to shoot, and they also added different ideas for remote control (direct control through a camera on missile or simply point a laser and missile tries to hit lazed target). I like the mortar idea and the different ideas for remote controlled heavy missiles. Only issue is that red zone railgun tanks will be replaced with red zone long range heavies dishing out large damage over large area. |

I do not run heavy most of the time and when I do I normally use forge gun to destroy installations or vehicles, but I have not noticed the HMG having much issue other than the laughable range. Maybe they could increase its pathetic range a bit and just increase its spread at range? I have seen that it works best at close range though, which should be fixed.
Edit: I am saying that at medium range the bullets seem to be like skittles suddenly and do next to nothing, yet at short range it eats anything. |
