They should have added another slot. THAT was the solution. Now, instead, we have snipers, shotguns, fusion rifles, and single shot grenade launchers taking up space in our energy slot. So to be clear. If you previously liked to carry a couple of snipers, say 3, for varying activities. Now, you are going to have a mostly empty heavy slot, and 3 of your nine spaces, likely in the energy slot, taken up. Which means the variety of weapons you were carrying, actually got worse. Why? Because, the idiots asked for something without actually thinking about it, so they got the bare minimum. "Special" weapons should have had their own slot. Snipers, Shotguns, Fusions, Single Shot Grenades. They should have used SPECIAL ammo. Primary weapons, kinetic and energy, should have remained the same. And power weapons, should have been made more powerful, and limited by adjusting ammo. Special weapons should have done the same damage as they did when they were heavy, and heavy should have been brought up to make it beastly. So now, the Winter Wolf and Niflheim Frost share a slot with the Frigid Jackel. Awesome. One of the best PvE snipers means you can't use most of the best weapons in the game if you want to snipe. How -blam!-ing stupid can you be? To think this is better? Another half assed solution to a problem that was created by implementing a half assed solution in the first place. The people on these boards are some of the most short sighted numbnuts I have ever seen. **EDIT Is a 4th slot optimal? No. It would, in fact, be annoying. But in order to actually give people the flexibility they wanted, without making heavy bricks drop like rain, they had to switch things up. An even BETTER solution would have been to change the ammo types on Shotguns, Fusions, Snipers, and Single shots, LEAVE them in the power slot, because, well, they are power weapons and call it a day.
