Ability to swap out attatchment like chainsaw and bayonet and add attactchment for HB

**kid_below_-0** · 08-01-2012, 03:23 AM

If the retro is in judgement i do not like the retro charge so i was thinking maybe you could swap it out for a chainsaw attachment and also I always didn't like that the HB didn't have an attachment. when someone gets close you have to melee them and most likely there going to kill you. I have no ideas for it except a reinforced stock so when you melee it hurts more or you can swap out attachments for the HB or an all new attactchment what do you guys think

I'm just going to say "no".

Agreed. This wouldn't make sense.

The hb already downs in 2 melees, the only other option for it to have increased melee damage is 1 hit downs...I think people would troll too much with that. -.-

**DaRkNeSs** · 08-01-2012, 05:51 AM

Hammerburst doesn't need an attachment, Retro shouldn't be a starting weapon full-stop...

**123MAN** · 08-01-2012, 08:47 AM

Retro with a Chainsaw. I would never lose in CQC

It would be dumb though.

The weapons are how they are, agree it wouldn't make sense. Why, just this morning I bet a Gnasher in point blank range with my Hammerburst!

When you take the bayonets away, the Retro is still a very different gun than the Lancer.

Adam Fenix didn't just swap out the bayonets, he also upgrading the gun as well.

So the bayonets aren't compatible.

For the HB, it is a Long Range weapon. You shouldn't be using it in CQC. It is probably the third worse weapon to use in CQC other than the Longshot and HoD

I'm with the man with the same avatar as me... Hammerburst is an Accuracy-Based, LONG RANGE weapon. That is why the scope is on there. If I use a Hammerburst, I tend to not get close.

**Yeneral Yank** · 08-01-2012, 10:43 AM

lancer has the chain, retro has the bayonet, HB has sights

**TJ_MkII** · 08-01-2012, 11:58 AM

No thanks. Before you know it we'll have under-slung boomshot launchers on Retro Lancers.

*shudders*

"Another attachment was known as the 'Gut-Puncher' grenade launcher, which was used to fire individual grenades at a variable distance. The most notable usage of this attachment was during the Battle of Aspho Fields."

Thank god they didn't actually put this into the game...

**ronin0331** · 08-01-2012, 12:44 PM

I see what you are saying a little; in Gears 1 I often wished the HB had some way to block the saw, but as they made the alterations to it I think it is fine as is. I also think Retro just needs it's power to fade over distance and it won't be so overpowered.

**OO629** · 08-01-2012, 01:07 PM

Chainsaw charge? I love it!

But attachment swapping shouldn't be added, each weapon should keep it's unique advantage/disadvantage.

**Yamato Kakashi** · 08-01-2012, 01:10 PM

Lol, Hammi charge!!!!

I think the gut-puncher could work in MP. Pick up attachment for rifles, replaces grenades, like instaa frags with small AoE. Possibly about the same as stay frosty frags?

No, but HB did originally have a bayonet in Gears 1 concept art IIRC. If Retro isn't in the game, HB should get the bayonet.

Great...then I'd have to deal with getting two-pieced by the hammerburst. lol

There are a lot of weapons that do more melee damage than others but do not one hit down, the Torque Bow and the Pendulum Lancer are two prime examples, the Hammer of Dawn and pistols down in three hits, well the COG pistol at least, it can have more melee damage and not insta down, it's only common sense.

**Theronmaster** · 08-01-2012, 02:47 PM

that sounds like a bad idea. it would hurt balance badly.

**MIST GHILLIE** · 08-01-2012, 03:16 PM

Would make the game less dependant on player skill and more dependant on what you have equipped so I am going to say no

**Joseph Ballin** · 08-01-2012, 04:52 PM

With the recoil it's going to get, the Hammerburst is going to be the close-range starting weapon. The retro lancer would be redundant.

**Hades no1Minion** · 08-01-2012, 05:15 PM

Don't agree with this at all. Giving a retro a chainsaw doesn't even make sense.

Can I get a amen. Current setup is fine. If someone gets close to u with hammy out u deserve to die. Next time switch to ur shotgun. Lol

**Bizkitdoh** · 08-01-2012, 05:32 PM

What's balance?

It'll have virtually no recoil if you time your shots.

bam,bam,bam...bam,bam,bam...bam,bam,boop

If you rapid-fire it, it will have similiar (if not more) recoil than the Retro after the 3rd shot.

**kid_below_-0** · 08-01-2012, 10:47 PM

iT Just seems the HB will be useless now with three shots burst they didnt even say how long you had to wait before you started firing again it seems like a useless weapon now. All i want is the HB to have an attachment just incase your firing like you do with the lancer and someone sneaks up on you you just use your attachment if you dont have time to pull out whatever shotty your using

The recoil is still there, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYsVBd80hEs see for yourself at about 2 minutes in. It seems close to the behavior of the Gears 2 hammerburst.

Actually if the Retro was to switch its attachment it would use a gut-puncher, if you've paid attention to the gears lore and story you'll know that it's a grenade launcher, happy noob tubing everyone

The gut-puncher is actually what I think Cole's unknown weapon will be (and I'm guessing it is the popular guess amongst fans?)

It looked like he was firing lit like a bot would in gears 3 the hammy seems useless now idc gears 3 it was perfect except for mods but but really like you just cant go to cover

**OneShot** · 08-02-2012, 02:32 AM

Not a good plan. Also, your first sentence in your thread was very long. try 2 break it up a bit
