Need More Heavy Weapon Types

So I've been thinking....we need some more Heavy Weapon types; specifically, ones that match the theme of the classes a bit more. The primaries and secondaries all pretty well match the classes thematically (Auto Rifles, Shotguns for Titans; Hand Cannons, Scout Rifles, Snipers for Hunters; Hand Cannons, Pulse Rifles and Fusion Rifles for Warlocks) however the two Heavy Weapons: Rocket Launchers and LMGs only really match Titans thematically (Strike and Defender, Respectively). A couple of new Heavy Weapons to match the theme of Hunter's and Warlocks might be pretty nice. The two ideas I came up with were: [i]Grenade Launchers[/i] (Warlock Themed) Heavy Weapons that come with magazines of 4-12 (with 1-2 spare magazines) that can rapidly fire grenades that have special properties; high explosive, magnetic, solar, void, arc, gravity etc. but do less damage than Rockets and have less range and an arc to their deployment. [i]Railguns[/i] (Hunter Themed) Essentially, super Sniper Rifles. They carry less ammo (in the range of only 2-4 rounds + one in the chamber), but do far more damage. They over-penetrate targets - the round keeps going forever or until it hits an object it can't pass through. They must be reloaded after every shot (exceptions for say, an Exotic Variant) and have a charge time; after you pull the trigger there is a delay of 1-2 seconds while the rifle charges before the shot is fired so you must lead targets. Only come with higher-powered scopes, making close range and PvP use more difficult.

  • Warlock heavy could be a backpack sort of set up that instead of being a useable weapon instead is a light gathering device that speeds up super regeneration with perks for grenade regen and melee regen we are supposed to be space wizards after all let me unleash the void on some mofos
