DeadlyNerd Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The whole PVC pipe vibe isn't doing it for HEK to start with. It's not that intimidating for a shotgun that deals highest damage. I'd prefer a large single barrel with a nice finish(something fancy) at the business end. 4 barrel design works up until Ammo stock is added to increase the ammo capacity as I imagine it's 1 barrel 1 shell. Here I'd add belt feeding. It's a huge shotgun with huge damage, rambo style gives it the best feel. Use the vertical grip or lose the vertical grip. If it doesn't have a purpose as perhaps a secondary attack where all 4 barrels are fired, it's just like those anime guns that have spikes in the places they shouldn't have. As for effects, which is more animation department than model department, I'd go for some gibbing when HEK kills something. Currently it feels a bit wimpy when the grineer lancer just falls to the ground after having his face filled with lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amistyrja Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I kinda like my Hek's water gun appearance. But I'd really like an alternate skin that looked more rugged and badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMadness Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Just rotate the barrels after each shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClockworkSpectre Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I absolutely hate the way the Hek looks, a reskin would be most welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
direcyphre Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'd say it's fairly goofy nature fits Vay Hek to a degree in all their wacky aesthetics. Would be nice if they added more weapon skins in general though. Since they've added the skin ability for weapons (and alternate frame heads), there really hasn't been anything interesting added to even use the system.

UncommonUnicorn Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) Some gun picture I counter with: Yes, that's a shotgun. Edited May 25, 2013 by UncommonUnicorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shieldmaiden Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I counter with: Yes, that's a shotgun. Ugh, another AK design. Google UTS-15, it's an existing shotgun as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncommonUnicorn Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Ugh, another AK design. Google UTS-15, it's an existing shotgun as well. Well, at least the AK æsthetics looks a hell of a lot better. Parts commonality ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelkyd Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I agree, the Hek model is under par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMatsu Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) I have to agree with the Hek's appearence, despite it's effectiveness, the aesthetic approach came off as goofy to me. I like that KSG-looking shotgun picture, considering the Hek is quite accurate and could play with that image. Just orokin-ize it. But optional skins? I like that, like the optional helmets for warframes, it could work in a similar fashion. When one goes to change the colors for said weapon, the other skin could appear there as does the optional helmet appears for a Warframe. Just as long as I'm not shelling out more than $5 for a re-skin. Edited May 25, 2013 by iMatsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositronicSpleen Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I thought it was supposed to be a double-barreled shotgun except, you know, four barrels. It does look kind of dumb, though, it would be better if it looked more futuristic and less salvaged. Take the quad-shotgun from Blood Dragon, for example.

mmSNAKE Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Both of those shotguns are fugly from my perspective. I like to shoot the saiga but it just feels like a poor man's attempt at getting an automatic shotgun. If getting AA12 wasn't so difficult... UTS is too bulky, sure the magazine is massive, but I can't stand the block design. I rather go with a Benelli, Mossberg or even Remington (870 wingmaster or the old police models). Anyway, yeah give us an alternate skin for the Hek. Hell I'd pay plat for it, given that design was pleasing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDillinger Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) I think the barrels should be a bit closer together and the texture more metal and less plastic-y, otherwise, I like the weird &#! design.

And they got some video presentations of the KS-K and Saiga-12. Not sure about the difference, but the KS-K at least looks to be the military version of the Saiga-12.

mmSNAKE Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 The AA12, every gun nut's wet dream. Good luck getting one though. $18k along with a lot of permits, living restrictions for a gun a 10 year old can use without flinching much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonCat Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Imo all the shotguns have icky models. They kind of clash with the art direction of the other weapon sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look kind of dumb, though, it would be better if it looked more futuristic and less salvaged. Take the quad-shotgun from Blood Dragon, for example. The salvage look fits the Grineer so well though. If it was a Corpus weapon the futuristic look would make more sense. I also agree with direcyphre in that it's fitting for Vey Hek.

Caliocerion Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 I think the Hek should have the skin of the Nock Volley Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvanPhoenix Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Lol, I agree with much of you guys so I can't pick a favourite! I love the hek but would love to see a visual redesign, that I CAN say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
