Why no power sward for tactical?

[FOTUS (Felon of the U.S)]

I really think this was big miss here. The power sword is only usable by the bulwark and I think it should be available to the tactical class as well. Maybe a librarian or apothecary class could come in later and be able to use it, but it really sucks that it's locked to a single class right now.

Pretty sure they wanted each class to have unique access to weapons, and as such the Power Sword is the unique access weapon for the Bulwark.

That might be true, but its such a universal weapon. I'm honestly surprised the power axe isn't in the game. It really should have been. That could have been the Bulwark's unique weapon.

Also, btw that's probably not the reason since the Bulwark is the only one with a power fist too. So he has two weapons all to himself.

Power sword shouldbe available to all classes that use melee, I say this as a Bulwark player. Why should only my class have the coolest looking weapon in the entire game?

Assault has powerfist too though.

Personally i want vanguard and tactical to get a power axe.

I'm one to think they should just unlock the armory for all. At least, for secondary and melee weapon.

But it's all a personnal taste, it might not be lore accurate to have a tactical with hammer lmao

Ah yeah, I forgot about assault. I rarely play it. I would like too see one of them with a power axe too. Although I would also like to see assault get power axe/sword as well.

Haha, yeah I'd be down for that. I mean Titus is a tactical marine i think and he wields a hammer sometimes.

A tactical is someone who went through every other job and is thus versed in all the roles and all the weapons. The hammer, as much as the power weapons are kinda special and are usually only used by Sergeants/Captains/Forcecommander, Veterans and Terminators.

Personally i think the Tactical is missing the combat knife, its part of the standard tactical loadout.
I get that he has the chainsword due it being iconic and part of the assault intercessor loadout but then he is missing the heavy bolt pistol.

And do i agree that the vanguard should have get two knives as per the Incursor loadout on tabletop but the class does represent both the Reiver and the Incursor.
Maybe an option to replace the grapple gun with the second knife and the stealth ability?

Using my melta I usually carry on my tactical- imo it's the best class. Give it a power sword and it'll be broken.

Better question

Why no knife for tactical? Thats literally standard issue for tac marines, not chainsword. I mean they can be armed with a chainsword but knife is supposed to be standard issue.

Its not because class absolutely needs the knife or something but its just weird tac not having knife. Mostly for flavor, i would still use chainsword.

[Sifer2]

Tactical already has the most unique ranged weapon options. But it is weird his secondary weapons are so limited. I do think he should get the Knife. But not the Power Sword. Assault should have the Power Sword.
