Do you guys think we could use some variety in Shootas? The Big Shoota is great but not all that different from regular shoota except for the suppression. I'm currently packing a heavy barrel and grip which reduces spread when firing on the move by 50%, but still I'm having trouble taking down Plasma or Stormbolter wielding marines with best armor. I'm definitely not saying we should have Plasma, but maybe some utility variety that could outdamage them at certain ranges or situations.

Here are some easily-implemented ideas that could go as separate Shootas or ammunition/barrel mods for regulars:

We already have the Iron Sight shoota, what I would like to see are Twin-Linked Shootas as a Storm bolter and TLASC equivalent, the Kannon (sth like a Slugga pistol grade damage, with 150RPM and 110 penetration) and ofc the Blunderbuss/Speshul Shoota (which we'll probably never see because of dev's stance on shotguns).

Any weapons out there except rokkit launcha that a Shootaboy could use for greater penetration?

And then they give us the rodeo shoota, that is only remotely good at point blank. Their "stance on shotguns" really has to change.

I wonder id the burnas will be for shootas or lootas. My guess would be the latter, so you can use them in melee the way they are supposed to be. But if we have snazz guns one day they'll probably be for shootas (or shoota nobz), and I *hope* they'll be customizable to zog and back, including some form of "plasma" ammo.

Haha oh the Rodeo Shoota :'), had so much fun with it for a while but then switched back to modded shoota, it's better.

I think Snazzguns will be orky versions of kombi-weapons so they'll prolly come out whenever they put in combi-bolters. Those should have plasma, definitely.

And an underslung cluster of rokkits.

I actually find better the rodeo shoota for my hit and run playstyle, but the cost... It should be 50 lp less with the big downside (that I can actually overcome tbh but not at super long range).

yeah nearly all uniques are way overpriced. Hell with the huge recoil penalty it has the Rodeo would be balanced even with the same cost as regular shoota imho.

Some of them are overpriced, some other are pretty fine. There is a rokkit launcha that shoots 3 little rokkits that cost 100 lp less. And also the rodeo shoota is as good as the big shoota but without the turn rate and the recoil. Costing 100 lp less than the bshoota kills the weapon.
