weapons and their unlock

[F.O.A.M]

why would they lock some weapons behind completing the game?
i would assume any of the "clear hardcore on X difficulty" would unlock it "account wide"
but for a weapon like starkiller will it also unlock account wide? and if not why even lock it? at the point of where you get it you have done all the content the game has so whats the point in hiding a gun behind that?

Because those are weapons from the first game and are meant as a bonus reward for those that clear those difficulties. The first game has them aswel.
They are in no way needed for progression or completing the game.

any rewards unlocked by completing hardcore on any difficulty are unlocked account wide.

It will always be available at Brabus shop for subsequent characters.

but whats the point in this? why give a reward that you get no use of? its like giving a vegan a steak as a reward for getting an A in a subject in school.

in fact those extra hard to get weapons are generally crap, I have found them to be quite useless, compared to even some of the starting weapons

its just the 'cool' factor for people who like to show off or do some random build

Why are they useless? Even if you beat the campaign if you're trying to farm other stuff in adventure you can still use them. Also if you go onto the hardcore grind you can buy some of these unlocks since the beginning, potentially making hardcore easier.

I didn't say useless, I said crap - they didn't offer any advantage in my view over weapons available from base campaign/starting gear, as in I was having easier time killing stuff with basic weapons than those special ones
