tehrealdealz Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I've been playing this game on and off since 2011 and my first toon was a BH Mercenary and one thing that's always bother me is that he doenst have the ability to equip blaster rifles. I know this game takes place before the movies, but man sometimes I wish my merc could be like Boba Fett and be able to equip a blaster rifle. Same goes for my commando. I hope one of these days in the near future you will give us the option to let us equip blaster rifles. I dont care put it up on the cartel market or something but just let us use Blaster Rifles plox. Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarian Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 man sometimes I wish my merc could be like Boba Fett and be able to equip a blaster rifle. Same goes for my commando. Same goes for my Powertech. But not sometimes...ALL the time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wainot-keel Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 eh... what's wrong with atrociously humongous assault cannons ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickious Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 commandos can put in the blaster rifle. They lose some of their abilities though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

branmakmuffin Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Blasters have lower base weapon damage than assault cannons as well. So no... They do not. Look at any weapon with no mods. +51 Force or tech power. All weapons are the same. Certain skills require certain weapons. That's why, for example, Snipers do more damage than Operatives, not because they use sniper rifles. If you're talking about how some weapons have different min and max damages compared to comparable weapons, that all evens out in the wash. Some do more "medium" damage and have a higher min and a lower max than others. Edited September 7, 2014 by branmakmuffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimp yourself on your commando by using a blaster, but don't say it's the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvhausen Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I must admit, I'd rather my BH had a rifle than dual pistols. Wouldn't want to trade in my minigun though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan_reynolds Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 while i don't have a problem with Commandos having the ability to equip blaster rifles. I just don't see why people want this. i mean to mean, the abilities look better with an assault cannon, look at full auto on a vg vs a commando (not saying that vgs should use it trolls, just for animations sake) it looks better on an assault cannon. And demo round coming out of a little bitty rifle just seems weird. I would agree that PT's need something more than a pistol though. My pt tank is almost embarrassing at times with that little bitty thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kheld Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Its a Dev rule. Classes have to be easily identifiable so that they can be identified by another player quickly in PvP. But id love to see all weapon restrictions lifted. Why cant my Jedi use an Assault Cannon or Dual Pistols if he wants to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiredgutter Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 The BBA legacy pistol uses the same model as a level 11 orange rifle. So like, its kinda like using a rifle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
