What kind of mods do you think could work with bolt pistols? I've seen some marines with bolt pistols in artwork that bore scopes and there is a scopes section for the pistols in this game. That raises the question as to what type of ammunition can be loaded into bolt pistols. I've not the time to do a proper search at the moment since I'm running late for work, but I did notice a bolt pistol with a drum magazine on it in a quick skim of search results. My hopes were there was a type of bolt pistol ammunition geared towards use like the stalker bolter. Slow firing increased damage precision rounds.
Only 2 types really make sense for pistols. More ammo(either carried or in the clip) Lower dmg dropoff.
Pistols need more reserve ammo than they need mods, frankly. Edit: and ammo mods in general would be great, hellfire rounds, stalker rounds, kraken rounds, vengeance rounds. You know, actually give SM some of the toys and options they are currently denied.
Most certainly NOT by default, unless we specifically talk painboy special pistol. There are ammo consumables for a reason. YOU think you have toys being denied from you? As an Eldar main: We can't have direswords, because exarch, meanwhile every second LSM grunt sprints with powerfist and power swords are more popular then knifes and chainswords combined.
I've got 5 minutes. While you're always fun to watch in the forums and you bring up some good points Katitof I would actually raise a question about your post. The rounds CMDante mentioned are all existent and are distributed among the ranks of the LSM combat squads. I'll grant you power weapons are not and were it up to me I'd see them more rarely either via a cost increase or given a clear downside with chain weapons being a cheaper alternative with more efficacy where power weapons come up short but I digress. My point is what mods or weapons CAN these aspect warriors have that are not exarch weapons and are not already implemented. I know of two off the top of my head which is mandiblasters for the scorpions, and spears for the warlocks.
Aspects don't really have options aside from exarchs really, the whole point if them is they're really good with their set gear and that's about it. That's not to say there aren't a few things they should have but don't; mandiblasters, shining spears, fire pikes, dragon's breath. But all in all they don't want for much compared to SM.
An extremely cheap pistol mod that doubles your magazine size and your ammo count! We can call it pistol drum magazine! Only 5 loadout points!
