Heavy Bolt Pistol should be an option for all classes

[VelxraTV]

Honestly I dont see why only the assault class has access to the heavy bolt pistol. The heavy bolt pistol is fairly balanced in comparison to the standard bolt pistol. Any space marine would be able to hold one. So it should be given to all classes as a sidearm option. Not only to add variety. But better loadout customization and an alternative grind option.

edit:
Looking further into this. I dont see a reason The Vanguard or Sniper cannot have the Marksman Bolter. Or the heavy having a heavy bolter rifle.

In an attempt to make each class unique they forced very stupid restriction on what each classes could get.

The Assault in particular is hillariously bad as despite not having a main ranged weapon it still don't have access to all the melee weapons and pistols.

There is literlaly no reason for them to not be able to use power swords and plasma pistols.
(Also, where is the power axe? Seriouslyn this one is greatly missed)

If it is a sidearm in this universe, then yes.

I entirely agree. The weapon allowed balance needs another pass.

Looking at the plasma pistol. Im on the fence is everyone should have this or not. It also makes sense for just heavies to use it.

Not only that but shouldn't we have the heavy bolt rifle on the heavy class too ? Just saying...

Regular plasma rifle would be good to

Be a man and use the plasma pistol

I'd 100% agree that everyone should have the Heavy Bolt Pistol... if not for the fact that'd mean the Bolt Pistol itself would probably never get used lol... me personally? Give everyone the Heavy Bolt Pistol, and buff the normal Bolt Pistol in some way.

I'd also say the same thing with melee weapons, I get the Assault being the only one with Hammers, but no one should be locked to just a knife :\

I agree, this could be easily enough fixed. Basic bolt pistol would be more accurate and has even more ammo. Twice the reason to use it.

True words indeed

Here's to wishing there will be events that allow for temporary use of other class weapons. I'd love to have that.

Maybe in a year from now. But given they dont seem interested in straying from the roadmap. Im doubtful they would.

Tactical would be broken with it with their gun strike damage stacking.
