Grineer Troopers Should Use Sobek

[basilioss]

As we all know, they released the Grineer shotgun, Sobek. Why are the Grineer Troopers who wield shotguns not wielding GRINEER shotguns? They replaced the Braton on the Lancers with Grakata's, so why not this?

 

Discuss.

I'll tell you a little secret — Tenno don't create a thing, they've got no civilians and 100% of them are highroller mooks.

Ouch... That's why.

 

Strun fits the bill for them. Powerful, but slow.

 

If DE had left Sobek alone at around 60 damage, I could see it. With Sobek being so powerful, I don't think there's a Tenno in the system who could hold their own against more than 2 Troopers for any amount of time.

Elite Grineer shotgun guys should use SOBEK.

I always assumed the awkwardly shaped Strun was a Grineer weapon.

I think that DE should make Elite Grineer Troopers and have them wield a version of the sobek with higher reload speed, slower fire rate, and slightly reduced damage.

 

DE should also make a corpus person called "Corpus Security" and have them wield a version of the Flux Rifle that has reduced damage and has damage affected by armor. Done.

Strun and Boar definitely seem to fit better with the Grineer aesthetics to me. Their designs are a little ridiculous (and a bit terrible if you ask me).

They don't use Sobek, because DE didn't changed it. It took months before shield lancers got Vipers. I don't think that there is any hidden "philosophy".
