Lack of weapon variety
So we have 4 primary types, 3 specials and 2 heavies. In each the higher ranks have bigger numbers, detailed blurbs and a modifier. Judging from the vendor stock of legendaries, rare and known exotics.
While I'm aware we don't know everything. I'd like actual variety, like maybe rockets having different kinds like bomblets and a mortar variant. Stuff like that, playing differently.

Edited by Nightshrike: 7/29/2014 8:18:53 AMI feel that only the Heavy Weapons lack variety. There should be at least three types of Heavy Weapons to choose from, not just HMGs and Rocket Launchers.

1 ReplyI hope they will expand upon the fusion weapon classes.

Well... I would like to see what else they have planned for the retail version, but I'm also worried the game will just turn out to be Borderlands.

1 ReplyI'm just worried that they will all look the same just different skin...

3 RepliesI would really enjoy a bow/crossbow (bonus points if we can nail things to the walls with them, perhaps upgrades that do that, or exploding tips, or range), and a melee special weapon class. Swords, clubs, perhaps even knives. also, we NEED Sub-Machine Guns!!!!!! Then I'd like to see new heavy weapons. I'm sure they can get innovative with it. Perhaps something like the demo's grenade launcher in TF2, with remote grenades. Or a gun that acts as a tractor beam, and after a short lock-on time, it can incapacitate, and kill a target. Similar to the rocket launcher, but just more unique. There are all sorts of things they could do with this game. I just want to see more variety. It's a good start on rivaling Borderlands, but just needs a little.. more.

I remember reading in one of the many earlier articles about destiny on how borderlands was part of the inspiration for the looting system in destiny. But i got to say, they've only git the tip of the iceberg. Borderlands had the variety that i enjoyed. Gun manufacturers had certain traits with their brand of weapons, then the additional perks and the visual differences. Destiny is fun but just dont have the variety i was looking for.
-
Yeah. I mean I love the weapon designs. But based off the Beta, once you see the starter weapons, you've basically seen them all. There isn't much variation until you get to rare or above tier weapons (design wise).
-
1 ReplyConsidering this was only a Beta, I'll have to wait till the full game before I know about weapon variety. The Beta only gave us a taste. There may be more weepons than we know what to do with.

2 RepliesHey buddy, it's called a beta.

All weapons known to date... Your welcome Guardians

2 RepliesMy friend was using the Jester rocket launcher when we played. Its shells exploded on impact into smaller shells. Is that close enough to "bomblets" for you?
-
2 Repliesit's not the weapon types that are the problem but the weapon variety - i was hoping being it the style and how multiplayer this game was - the code would of been like that of borderlands where i doubt anyone could collect all the weapons and their funny names. consdiering this war has been going on for so long i would bet that there are alot of bloody weapons lying around everywhere instead we get a selection of what 3-4 of each class of gun.. meh ... we're humans we design many weapons and we are just the destructive,
-
Also a serious lack of unique textures and different models for each weapon types. It'd be better if the weapon types just had a whole hell of a lot more variation.
-
1 ReplyWe need SMGs!
-
We don't know what all the full game weapon types will be. There could be more weapon types than we think
-
I saw a rocket explode into small bombs at one point during the beta.
-
1 ReplyI would like more weapon types very much. Like death rays and grenade launchers and needlers and flame throwers. The list goes on I can't understand why people vote no. What's wrong with wanting more variety? It's always good to have new options
-
Edited by GreyKnight: 7/30/2014 4:01:14 AMAre rail guns still going to be in the game?
-
2 RepliesI kind of wish there was more unique weapons. I really wish we get the opportunity to get to use alien weaponry.
-
4 RepliesEdited by doppnett: 7/30/2014 12:09:28 AMi have written a topic on this. id want a sword, mostly because of the anime Sword Art Online
-
2 RepliesGive me a duck launcher.
-
You've got just about every weapon any other FPS will have.
-
3 RepliesI wonder if there will be swords of some kind that your character can use, like a energy sword or something similar. Would be kind of interesting
-
I love Spartan Laser from Halo, i hope there will be a heavy weapon similar to that for Destiny.
-
We got a very small slice of what enhancements can go on a gun. I got a warhead on my rocket launcher that was proximity detonated. Work like a charm against the coward AI that hides behind everything. Got a group of them once was funny as hell seeing the bodies go flying out from behind cover. So maybe there will be something in store for us.
