make boltok and gorgon starting weapons

[meatheadcog]

i think it would be interesting if

cog characters started with cog weapons

lancer/retro
gnasher
snub

locust characters started with locust weapons

hammerburst
sawed off
boltok/gorgon

this would add extra dynamic to matches
encourage players to use more weapons instead of relying on a preferred set up
make playing as a cog different than playing as locust
the pistol pick up spawns could then be replaced with different weapons

sawed off is not locust specific i know, but it does suit their character a lot more in my opinion
alternatively both cog/locust could start with gnasher and the sawed off could become a power weapon pick up (replacing some of the boltok/gorgon pick ups perhaps)

[SemiHostile]

While I love the idea of having a boltok every round I play ( oh the destruction I would lay), there are some glaring balancing issues that will prevent this from happening.

[DaGirlzGoCrazy]

A boltok in a veterans' hands = mini longshot.

[Exiled Spartan]

If in the right hands, a Boltok pistol can truely be a 'power weapon'

I don't think I'd like that idea.

[Helluminatus]

the locust pistols are far superior to the snub. Also the Sawed off isn't a locust weapon, it's a stranded weapon

[IMPEND1NG DOOM]

This brings up an interesting question: who created the gnasher? COG or Locust, same for the boltok and frags

They've confirmed that the boltok is indeed a locust weapon

[DoctorG27]

Dumbest Idea ever. Of all time.

[CR0XLEY]

and who invented the lancer with torque bow bolts in its magazine instead?

[CR0XLEY]

i always thought the boltok suited cog better, gorgon definitely looked locust, i dont care what anyone says but boltok is cog, lore or not

[CR0XLEY]

should bring out some U.I.R. weapons in dlc

Are you high? The boltok is complete rape!
