Engineer perk, why and how.

[Lucidius134]

Make it so if they DED you'de need to full repair them with welder? I dunno, I like the idea of mounted guns, SMG's and what not but this perk specifically seems way too close to support in alot of ways.

Why not just make it a support thing if it's super heavy, involves welding, etc?

Well could be done, but would most likely get very unbalanced if they managed to carry two at the same time, or one of the 40mm and a shotgun.. Imagine that. An SS blasting small crap with his shotty and kiting everything, then when there is only small stuf left he places and mounts the turret and shoots down surviving scrakes, fps and whatnot.
That would be ridiculously OP, which is why i'd like the Engineer ti be the only one to carry the turret with a weapon, somewhat like the medicgun, only for personal protection in dire situations.
