Heavy Bolt rifle added to Heavy class

[GraphicalAdri]

Since its supposed to be wielded by a heavy Intercessor make sense.

Tbh i dont even know if devs read the steam forums

Why would you even use heavy bolt rifle when you have access to heavy bolter, which deals more damage at higher RoF, has access to heavy stance and doesn't need reloading?
Heavy bolt rifle is a less precise and more spray'n'pray sidegrade of the bolt rifle.

Well, because its the main weapon of heavy Intercessors. Heavy intercessors squads can only have one heavy bolter.
Gamewise, sure you loose firepower but gain flexibility. Just a neat option if you want to play a semi-Tactial with the benefits of the Heavy skill tree and Iron halo

Isn't it 1 heavy bolter per 5 minis in a squad? Meaning 2 heavy bolters max.
Anyway i understand where you come from with this. But it is meaningless for game balance. You have better chances to get some pother rimaris heavy weapon, like accelerator autocannon.

Indeed, one per five models, two if you go for nine and a sargent.
I just want to make clear that this is not a balance argue thread, its not like this game has already some questionable balanced choices, but alas...

its just as an option to have a change of playstyle, just like the carbine has 2 diferent variants for example and lore autenticity thats all.

Accelerator Autocannon is a thing i'v been wanting since release but it shoud be added for a new class, since Inceptor has a different armor
