Weapon types

[nejcooo]

i think that's quite interesting. there are weapons that fire electric projectiles, and there's smg section.

now medic has only 1 smg, so it's highly likely that tank perk will have smgs (maybe non sci fi). i think that's highly likely correct because there were some shots from their motion capture sessions and somebody had p90 in their hands.

another very interesting thing you can see is that crossbow has its own icon. that means there are more xbows (or weapons that work simiar to xbow).

Ugh. I don't like crossbows but at least I know there will be sniper rifles now.

Hey to each their own, I'm just happy to see a good starting variety of weapon types. And hopefully out the gate we get some decent bolt action rifles or a modernized LAR. Can't wait to get my hands on sharp perk.

+1 foe some bolt action goodness..

 

[nejcooo]

I think P90, FAMAS, M60 (all seen in motion capture pics) will be tank weapons, and M9, Revolver, 1911, and Desert Eagle will be gunslinger weapons.

Also I'm sure sharpshooter will have crossbow and at least one scoped rifle.
Also seems highly likely that M79 will return.

Wait!!! There's a m60! Holy **** show me this ****!!!

Unconfirmed and it doesn't show up in the categories shown above. I wouldn't get too hyped.

We have seen on previous screenshots a laser on a bloat. I think the

Alas, I'd love that too, but i don't see it in the categories shown. That's still a pre-EA build though, so it doesn't mean anything.

Note how there's no LMG category. That might mean the helmet perk is something completely else or LMGs get added later on. No LMGs in AR category either.
EDIT: WAIT A SEC, M60??? That is just too good.

Ugh. I don't like crossbows but at least I know there will be sniper rifles now.

Same here, a couple of bows could have been in the sniper category. I've mixed feelings about the electric weapons category, might be cool.

P90, Famas, M60, unknown revolver and husk's gun:

[Schneider95]

LMG will probably be in assault rifle category.

 

[moleculo]

that would be good, as long as they are there!

If my speculation is correct, **** commando when tank comes out

Who knows? Commando does have increased health, can see enemy health, and the ability to see cloaked units.

Also, I'd like to note that the FAMAS could've been used to record the Bullpup, because they both reload similarly. I don't see why a class other than the commando would be using a FAMAS either. The P90 and M60 make sense because they have rather large magazine sizes. (50 and 100, respectively) But why a FAMAS? It has a 25-round mag, doesn't it?

Depends on the variant.

 

[Trotskygrad]

Depends on the variant.

well I wouldn't want to use a C-mag in a famas...

so I'd say 30 max

This!

 

[nejcooo]

And maybe one day, MG42 gets ported from RO2

 

[Stiler]

Really really hoping they have bolt action rifles back, those were my favorite, especially coming from an old RO player before KF and then using them in KF.
