Heavy weapons

[The commander]

Question for those who are a bit further into the game.
How good are heavy weapons? Do the Merc that uses one "have" to have the heavy weapons innate talent?
Otherwise I feel like Ravens trait might go really well with heavy weapons.
Thinking about picking up a heavy weapons merc so I am curious.

Vikky +7 damage per bullet on fully upgraded weapon. Machine gan base damage 9x11
Grizly can fire from the hip and have heavy wepon skill. Require teaching agi and dex

Which weapons ARE heavy weapons? :D
I searched for this as my IMP has the trait for Heavy's... and I hoped that this involves Snipers as well... would be sad if it only works for MachineGuns and stuff...

It's just light machine guns I am pretty sure.

Which makes it close to impossible to improve the IMP char into the sniper direction with the starting perks :D sad... second letdown, still no biggy but... sad.

You are right with Vicki if it adds 7 dmg per bullet that would be bonkers, I am running her with with duel wield as of right now though.

Grizly only has 51 dex I see training stats up seems really slow so meh maybe, people saying Kalyna is good for example I just don't see it with her base stats she can only pick tier one agility skills and nothing else she seems awful to me.

Ha yeah the IMP chars sadly don't get most of the fun innate stuff price for having no cost after purchase and perfect stat spread I suppose, Made mine into Barry 2 more or less was not a fan of his banter.
