Introduction.

So we all know we can't have the minigun as a standalone weapon because it's available as an ability for soldiers (Goin Commando) or the turret (R.O.S.I.E). But how about a weapon subclass that's about the big guns?

Introducing….HEAVY WEAPON SUBCLASS! These weapons have several limitations including how it works and the requirements.

What are the limitations of heavy weapons?

• You cannot make it crit based

• They reduce your speed by half when equipped

• Only the Task Force heroes can increase their efficiency. (explained later in this post)

• The Task Force heroes will only benefit from one team perk made for them (explained later in this post)

• These exotic weapons cannot be dropped. And require a specific Power Level on each evolution while they require reaching PL 130 to supercharge them. The storm shield defense requirements still stands.

• While they deal higher than usual base damage. They consume more ammo than usual.

• Task Force heroes are made of Constructors and Soldiers only!

• You can only equip heavy weapons with the Task Force heroes only. That means no other ranged or melee weapon will be in the slots.

• A Task Force hero is needed on command to activate the team perk.

The Weapons

• The General (M2 Browning model)

• Eradicator (Flamethrower). Couldn't come up with a better name.

Exotic rarity. I always wanted a flamethrower in STW.
