No shotguns!? Stubguns?

[Carcoona]

To the Devs, I love your game. I think its great, and the few glaring problems you have with it can be fixed namely, camera, slow turn times and ai..dear god the ai. Please hire someone better for your ai.

But a question: Where are the shotguns and stubguns?! They have been staple weapons in Necromunda since the 90's. I am intregued to know how you chose to omit them, but keep odd weapons like the cryothrower in the game.
Shotguns area a simple weapon to make im sure, and you could have skills to represent the different ammo types? Stubpistols again, a cheap easy kinetic weapon with the option for more expensive dum dum rounds?

When i can pick up plasma pistols and plasma cannons off a gang in my first ever operations match (normal difficulty), but cannot give people a shotgun? Thats odd. Make plasma weapons better, they are terrible, and make them much rarer.

Im sure these things are already on your list and you are already working on them. Keep up the good work.

They'll probably show up as DLC knowing this developer.

Stub Guns are in. At least, I found a Heavy one.

That's a heavy stubber, he means stub guns as In the pistol. They are kind of iconic because it's what most juves would be equipped with, that and the free fighting knife everyone got In the original edition.

They are In Necro 18 too so it's weird having so few of the standard weapons In the computer game.

That should have been named Heavy Stubber. I don't think I have ever seen it refered to as Heavy Stub Gun.

Stub Pistols
Stub Guns
Heavy Stubber

This game doesn't really have the slow paced build up of power you get from the TT

Heavy Stubbers have always been called Stubbers for short. Stub Gun is what the pistols are called.

You spelled shotguns wrong, the correct spelling is:

M I C R O T R A N S A C T I O N S

Stubbers never been a thing nor Heavy stub gun. It's just a noob mistake made by the devs that know nothing about NM as it's obvious. This weapon has always been called heavy stubber, as I recalled correctly.

Stub Guns are always, and will be always, pistols, and heavy Stub Gun is just a pistol that is too heavy...which quite frankly, sounds hylarous....and never existed anywhere

What you on about? you just managed to contradict yourself.

Stubber is short for Heavy Stubber. It has always refered to the heavy weapon. It has always been in necromunda and has often been refered to as a stubber since 1995. It may not be in print but its pretty well known. Stub gun always has always been the pistol, you are correct on that. In the 2018 rules they added the Stub Cannon into the rules for the Goliaths. Basically an oversized revolver the size of a shotgun. It is a seperate weapon. As of the 2018 rules, there are therefore 3 types of stub weapons. Only the Heavy Stubber aka "Stubber" is in this game. It should realy be the default heavy weapon for all gangs, but for somereason Escher start with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Lascannon,which is awesome but sooooo not what a starting gang should have.

Tbh I didnt even know there was a new edition of Necromunda I always assumed this was the 1990s version lol.
On topic I was surprised there was no shotguns cause they were terrible but still they are a normal part of the game. Also Stub guns while being part of the game no one in their right mind would use one while you can get an Auto pistol. Well... least in the 1990s version anyway.

Also Stub Cannon? lol That sounds so bad reminds me of a blunderbuss, and only grots should be using them ;)

Shotguns were not terrible, they were flexible and affordable with the different ammo types. Therefore very popular. The 2018 edition of Necromunda also has Combat Shotguns, Sawn offs and Blunderbuss'. Stubguns again are great because they are cheap and decent with dumb dumb rounds.In the original Necromunda they were identical to Autopistols. So always better to take a Laspistol as better ammo role. Stubcannons are literally a rifle sized revolver. Short range high damage. Very goliath. Not the worst weapon they created tbh.

Shotguns should really have been an option for the saboteur instead of the stupid cryo and slime guns, a double barrel load or an auto blast would have nicely represented the cone of effect.
