Are heavy weapons visible?

[Krelian]

Greetings,
When I’m playing as an Astra Militarum commander; my main weapon (2h-rifle) as well as my swords are visible on my character’s back and sides (as seathed) after combat.
But since I’m early in to the game; I have not gotten a heavy weapon yet, so I was wondering; are heavy weapons (and or their packs) visible after combat on the character model, or do they disappear completely? Thx alot in advance for any possible insight! :)

Nope. Not visible until combat (pistols, rifles, staff... some 2handed melee weapons but not all.. are visible on the character out of combat.. but not heavy weapons)

Hello just a little update.
For some resson; on my Ministorum Priest; all the ranged weapons that were holstered on my back just poof disappear outside of combat (just swords & pistols etc. seathed on hips are visible then).

But I noticed that on my Astra Militarum Commander and on my Psyker; 2h-rifles out of combat indeed are visible on my character model; both in inventory and in actual gameplay; 2h equipment is visible on the character’s back.

That got me thinking.. so I searched for ”Rogue Traders Heavy Weapons” on Youtube and found 2-3 Astra Militarum Commander (soldier) playthroughs / gameplay videos with heavy weapons.

Based on those videos; from what I can tell;
1-Heavy weapon (Heavy Bolter) indeed is visible on the Astra Militarum Commander’s back while in inventory screen.

2-Most of the footages I’ve seen were almost exclusively ”in combat” but during combat; if the Militarum Commander changes from Heavy Bolder to an other weapon; the Heavy Bolter gets holstered on the back instead of disappearing (during combat).

3-In one video; the Mulitarum Commander finishes the battle with this Heavy Bolter (all targets eliminated); then at the end of combat; holsters the heavy weapon at his back. Then the gameplay video continues for about another 8-ish seconds while the heavy weapon is still visibly holstered on his back/shoulders.

But the same thing does not happen to Ministorum Priest who uses a heavy weapon in another video. After combat and in inventory screen; all 2-h ranged weapons (including ofcourse heavy weapons) simply vanish instead of being holstered/visible on his/her person.

So, this got me thinking;
Maybe the 2h-weapons (including the heavy weapons) disappear on some character Origins but not others ?
Can anybody who is playing the game confirm this?

I mean those of you who are playing as Commmanders etc. can you guys see the rifles and heavy weapons holstered in inventory screen and after combat?
Sorry for the long-winded explanation and thx in advance for any possible insight! :)
