Does it get better with upgrades?

The metla? Yeah, most of the guns do its mostly the melee weapons that kind of fall behind.

All I know is Heavy Weapons Guy with Melta Gun and +Ammo Perks is Easy Mode.

Heavy with melta and a gun shield is broken

[Mister Magician]

Why broken?

[Brother Bigot]

Great damage and it hits multiple enemies at once and since this is a horde game you’ve sort it effectively countered the main threats in in the game

It's not really broken. It's just generally the better option of the three main weapons. I'd say it's less of a case of it being strong and more of a case of the other two being underwhelming.

It has great crowd clearing potential and with the right perks it's ammo is easier to maintain for chaff clearing than the heavy bolter. A few blasts from it can open a heavier enemy for a finisher but it's less effective against bosses IMO than the plasma pistol. Basically your job when using it is to get the trash off screen.

Here is the broken part. Imagine you have 5% real health, a bit of contested health and there is a swarm of enemies nearby, you can aim your melta in their direction, pull the trigger, and you can be healed to full just from that single blast. The melta is ideal for doing damage and healing. If you're a heavy, you're only limited by ammo. If you're a tactical, you just need to do finishers every so often to instantly reload your melta. If you're a vanguard, idk what you have in your kit to instantly reload the melta but if you have it you will be fine.

I tried the melta, need a full clip just to kill a warrior. No.

Perks of the melta, unlimited ammo, full hp heal from any white hp. Use your plasma pistol to kill warrior. If your tactical marine use your scan for the damage boost.

That's a lot of ifs.

I hate plasma pistols.

How so? Is it really that hard to shoot a swarm on the highest difficulty with your blast that instantly kills them to full heal yourself and get your ammo back?

As a sidearm just to shoot its awful. But for taking down warriors or traitor astartes its great. Bolt pistol has no practical purpose to me really.

I like it for tactical since headshots from it are a cheap way to thin out a swarm. Otherwise, yeah, it's not great.
