New weapon types, shotguns, cannons, etc. Do you think they will be added?

[NoiseHERO]

a new weapon that uses range and tech attacks?

we already got a range and melee weapon = gunslash

and a melee and tech weapon = wand/ rod?

You've made me realize that all the hybrid stuff in this game is subpar

Also you're thinking of cards....

Which nevermind the subpar part because cards are actually useful/good. (last I heard iono shit about casters these days)

I dunno why they didn't just have Bow rep caster's range weapon again.

Shotguns could be a Gunner weapon type, since Gunners only bread and butter are TMGs right now.

They would work like TMGs except they would deal single shot burst damage and be even closer range. Maybe their basic attacks could pierce enemies? They could have emphasis on aoe PA's for the shotgun effect.

otherwise I could imagine it being a gunner/ranger weapon that is slow like the launcher (but not as slow), close range and deal burst damage.

good point there, Also i think shot gun would be perfect for the GU since their skill tree have close range bonus damage.

They should take all of the melee mechgun moves and put them on shotguns, then give a bit more to both.

It won't happen, but it should.

I suppose.

Even though I was out of the conversation for a good few hours. I see a few people essentially repeating an idea of shotguns being a Gu-based weapon type.
This makes so much sense. Because what do they use? TMG's and an assault rifle if they enjoy having the convenience or support of wb.
The zero-distance upgrades and everything would fit perfect for something like a shotgun obviously. Just time to wait on SEGA I guess.

Well I can't wait for Spread Needle to clear rooms from a safe distance

[Link1275]

You can already do that with many, many, many, other weapon types though. Also, what rooms? lol

"many, many, many" Which are you talking about necessarily?

[Link1275]

"many, many, many" Which are you talking about necessarily?

None of the hunter or fighter weapons, katanas, launchers, and tmgs are the only ones I'm NOT talking about.

Rifles & Gunslashes can both shoot enemies from a long distance.

The tech weapons I really shouldn't have to explain as to how they can obliterate everything from a safe distance.

[Brelovix]

Oh right for clearing rooms. Somewhat misunderstood what you meant by "you can already do that with many,...etc". As in I thought you were essentially regurgitating the 'Diffuse Shell' argument.

Aside from that though - now understanding your point, I'd have to say that gunslashes are not going to do jack for a long range 'room-clearing' type of weapon. I do not see a single shot doing 1000+ ever. Now, Additional Bullet could potentially do this, but it's not going to give justice to long distance kills over probably 90% of the time.

With rifles, I can see what you mean.

Not to mention Force and Techer are becoming more and more obsolete as SH continues. And that isn't just coming flying out my butt from stuff I have 'heard' from others. I main Fo/Te and use Ren, and while you can kill bosses somewhat fast still in SH. You cannot obliterate mobs in one sweep anymore. When you see Gu literally mow down mobs like garbage still. The medium isn't there for right now, between Gunner still just being OP and Fo being able to do a similar feat.

melee/tech would be cool

melee weapon in one hand (or two) while casting cool shit with the other hand. Bayonetta is a good example how the techs would work - focusing more on close combat instead of long range.
