Not very happy about sniper rifles no longer being heavy. If they are anywhere near as OP as they are in most games, they need to be heavy, rare ammo and all. Kinda silly to me that pistols and sniper rifles now share the secondary slot. Heck shotguns have their own OP factor too when you're close to ppl. I guess my gripe is, how will pistols (which I want to use) compete with things like shotguns and sniper rifles =\
On topic though, I think rocket launchers and LMGs cover it (maybe grenade launchers?)

They said in the last podcast that the hand cannons are playing almost like short-medium range high-power, high-difficulty DMR's. It will be slightly more difficult to hit your target, but if you get good and connect, pistols are going to merrderr
-
Ah. Well I like this =D The term "hand cannon" sounds more intimidating anyway. Guess I have nothing to worry about then
-
Also, they said you'd be able to use every gun, so imagine even as a Titan you'll be able to pick up a long rifle, but there will probably either be a damage or aim speed penalty or [b]something,[/b] so that Titans aren't OP.

Where did y'all get snipers won't be in the heavy slot anymore they took it out and was playing in slots but nothings been confirmed
-
Your right but this entire game is a work in progress if they decide they can take snipers and hand cannons out of the game all together but there's a certain level of confirmation you just gotta trust

Pistols as far as I know were moved to the primary slot. Don't quote me on that, they might have been talking about heavy pistols or something. But in all honesty I think the sniper belongs in the secondary slot, or the special slot. Shot guns well op at close range can't do much after a certain distance and same goes for the sniper good for long range but it would be hard to kill some one a few feet away. To me the heavy slot is meant for more rounded guns good at almost any distance and made to just utterly destroy people.

I can see your point for sure. As I said, I am mainly worried pistols will have a hard time keeping up with other weapons and I really want to use one. Whether it is a primary or secondary, I guess it'll be okay long as it's medium strength, medium range weapon.
-
Well looking at primary weapons there not really meant to be op like special slot or heavy slot. They get the most ammo and are ment to be well rounded and dependable so I think the hand cannon will get plenty of use there :)
-
Handcannons were definitely moved to the primary slot, you are correct on that.
