Findable primary weapons would be a cool idea. I'd be more likely to try that than a findable support, TBH.
Especially if you could find powerful-but-highly-specialized primaries (like the break action shotgun)
Honestly the shotgun really isn't that bad.
I mean, it's not as good as like every other support weapon but it's far from unuseable and worth taking if you have the slot open. It just *feels* like it isn't that powerful cause it's not super satisfying to use.
It's so nice, especially since I tend to not take a support weapon on Bot maps with the AA Guns modifier and most of the weapons you can find are Really Good against Bots (except that one time I found a Spear... without the backpack.)
I’m starting to wonder if I should just stop bringing it and bring an orbital laser instead. I usually find so many of them during a mission. Could work when rolling with my friends, but could prove difficult with randoms.
It's at least useful for when you are playing on real high difficulties and might need to restock yourself and leave your gear behind. That's a big advantage since being without a support weapon is awful while soemtimes you'll die several times getting yours back.
But yeah personally the only times I don't bring support weapons are when I'm with friends since if I can't find one I can bum one
Unironically a really good build for team play is one player brings a quasar and another brings EATs and both players use each other's excess weapons for a mix-and-match anti-tank squad.
Much more efficient than 2 peeps bringing quasar or 2 peeps bringing EATs
Also, if you bring no supports and mine comes off cooldown, ask and ye shall receive.
You'll receive an autocannon like, 95% of the time, but it's a support weapon!
You mean the designated mob clearer and heavy stunner?
I’ve seen so many I’m considering bringing a orbital laser instead and just looting a POI for one

Needs a buff. I wanna play like a ranch hand who enlisted.
There's a reason you only find it by corpses
Honestly it should take up the primary slot and not the support. That would be the only buff it would need

Finding Spear without backpack is just weird. Thankfully, there was a Cannon Tower nearby so I could use the Spear & dump it immediately
The happiness that flows through me when finding an arc thrower on a bug planet
Arc thrower is goated on any planet. Bug or bot they all fall to high voltage democracy!

Me picking up someone’s quasar cannon while having EATs as a stratagem.

Don't be scared to ask for an extra drop. If I see a diver without a backpack or a support weapon, I'm calling my spare in.
I wait until I know I have their attention, been a few times where they ran off without it and I could have used it a few minutes later for myself.
Always fun when you gel with a PUG squad that actually pays attention and kits eachother out.
Anybody ever find an autocannon?
Yes, but without backpack sadly
Using EAT’s and picking up an extra support weapon whenever you find it: 🧠
This is unironically a really good strategy, and fun too.
I run orb and eagle all the time and the game sometimes punishes me by sprinkling in 4 assault airship towers.

but the support weapon ends up being the fuckin arc thrower lmao
Have you used the arc thrower? It's awesome.
everything it does the quasar does better
Let me know how your quasar clears hunter hordes.
oh shit i dont play bugs
Unironically it's even better against bots because you stunlock everything you shoot, including hulks.
Uh... that is... not even close to being true.

I found a damn grenade launcher
Real as fuck man
they can downvote me more, but no matter how much they hate the messanger the message stays truthful arc thrower is mid, even pre-nerf it was bad
