Dio_Brando Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 In a devstream they mentioned a new weapon type in the "heavy weapon" variety. So to balance them simply forfeit the use of your secondary and or you melee weapon and wallah, good to go. I can see a mini gun type tenno weapon, working this way. Basically these weapons would be one step down from the archwing super heavies. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 They mentioned "heavy" and "shoulder fired" as new primary grip types, not a whole new category. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
http404error Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Why wouldn't they just be primaries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dromeos-Prime Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Ok question, by the way you say "heavy" weapons you mean Giant Dakka dakka machines? If so how the hell are you supposed to run and jump around with a big &#! gun on your back. Also we technically do have "heavy" namely the Penta, Ogris, Gorgon and Supra.

direcyphre Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 Pretty sure in the devstream they were only talking about new, potential animation sets for upcoming weapons. Not weapons that are somehow inherently more powerful that need some measure of balance by working them in as a new weapon type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedemon Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 awful, you can't sacrifice the auxiliary weapon for the sake of one unwieldy heavy weapon, i could do with a speed debuff considering it's supposed to be heavy, or a long ready time or weapon switch time, but if the weapon has some kind of detriment it should be on itself, not on secondary weapons, even fighter pilots carry a handgun.

If so how the hell are you supposed to run and jump around with a big @$$ gun on your back. Also we technically do have "heavy" namely the Penta, Ogris, Gorgon and Supra. The same way we manage to run around with the Galatine on our back (or in our hands). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedemon Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 now if its an animation set i would definitely pay for a harness that allowed me to mount some primary weapons in the shoulder, at least the ones that make some sense like Gorgon, Supra, Ogris, Penta, Opticor perhaps even Soma or Lanka but no bows or "small" guns like Boar, Ignis and Grakata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 The same way we manage to run around with the Galatine on our back (or in our hands). Swords, even the really big ones aren't that heavy compared to things like Miniguns. Even then the concern is more for the rediculous recoil and bulk than the weight.

Whaddaya think? Actually i'm going to go create another thread for this one sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobalt313 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Closest I could see to using this would be switching from Archwing mode to land mode mid-mission while still using the Archwing weapons. That said, we already have most "heavy" weapon types as standalone primaries (Opticor, anyone?) so I don't think this will be needed for a good while.
