Kruber Needs More Ranged Weapons

[RaNdOmKiLs666]

My boi Kruber really needs some more ranged variety, 3 (or 4 if you count bow) ranged weapons is not enough. He has never got a new ranged weapon via DLC either, so I think it's about time he got something.


Here's two Ranged weapon ideas.

1. I was thinking a grenade launcher could be quite a fun and powerful weapon for Kruber.

I'd design it in a way where it's very good at dealing damage against armour and swarms of enemies alike, maybe balance it out be limiting the ammo count to 12 shots (6 shot cylinder mag) and make the reload time around 5 seconds.

2. Another idea would be adding a Heavy Crossbow, you know the ones where you stand on the metal bar and pull the bolt back with both arms. That kind of Crossbow.

Balance wise I'd make it do really crazy high damage, like your able to 1shot bodyshot Chaos Warriors, also deal fat damage to Monsters/Bosses. Almost like a mini-balista. It'd also cleave through crowds of enemies like crazy, probably could hit through like 5 or 6 SV with 1 bolt. The downsides would be that your immobile and slow to reload, probably also has limited ammo, about 10 shots.


But yeah, it'd be really nice to see some new ranged weapons for Kruber, he really needs some variety.

much as i agree, i'd love new weapons, it's probably not coming any time soon if at all. Definitely not before sienna's career, tho.
Some form of grenade launcher would be nice, correct me if i'm wrong but i believe similiar tech does exist in the empire.
As for a heavy crossbow, dont think i've seen arbalest-type crossbows in the empire, but, if going that way, you could add a regular crossbow aswell

you see Bardin and Victor hordes them all

[Glowskelly]

Bait.

Gotta say: When I see you mention a grenade launcher type weapon that's really good against armor and hordes and has limited ammo that is twice the trollhammers but with a multi shot mag instead of single shot... I kinda feel baited.

I don't see how this is bait, grenade launcher wouldn't do as much damage per shot as the Trollhamer torpedo. Like the GL won't delete a chaos warrior in 1 shot, but will delete SV in one shot.

No, long reload time is no fun.
No, stationary reload makes the weapon useless after one shot in most scenarios.
No, we do not need op aoe weapons.

Kruber has unlimited ammo. Get out of here

I'd prefer a single-shot grenade launcher with like 15 shots that's mainly for crowds.

Something that has more ammo, maybe more range, a quicker reload speed, but significantly less damage per shot. Not good for CW or bosses, less good at SV, but better at everything else. All relative to the trollhammer ofc.

We really don't need a 6 round mag trollhammer.

You are correct, The Empire has the grenade blunderbuss, which is basically just a primitive break-action grenade launcher.

How about a shoulder-mounted 50. cal? We'll be modest and limit it to a 10-round magazine so the politicians don't get involved.

He conveniently also has the most melee weapons next to Saltzpyre who can't use all his extra WP weapons on most of his careers.

Trebuchet: -20% movement speed but a whole lot of destruction. Ammo is dead Chaos Warriors.

That could also work. A grenade launcher weapon in general would be nice to have for Kruber.

Nonsense.

Yeah, kind of sad WP weapons mostly can't be used on other careers.

Well... he kind of does, though, so long as you're playing Huntsman.

Huntsman isn't a bad class. I don't need to defend why people play it.
