I’ll admit I haven’t played an Engineer, but to me meddling with stuff to “improve” it seems right up their alley.

The look and function of a repeating crossbow would fit right in with their need to tinker.

Harnessing the power of different sigils/runes would alter the look and power of the bolt. While intricate watch-work sprockets could be used for additional distance, power, or accuracy.

This is just a pic of a crossbow I pulled off the internet a while ago and thought an Asuran Engineer would look cool toting it around.

I always tought bows and swords and all that medival kind of weapons don’t fit the engineer – and I was right :’D But the crossbow with a look like this may indeed be awesome enough for us!

I like the idea!

Oh, man! That would be so sweet! I think the cross bow would make an excellent addition to the engie weponary, not to mention I think aesthetically is goes with the engineer theme pretty well.

I’d like to see shotguns as well, maybe a skill set similar to the “Scrap Rifle Field Test” gun, and of course its own unique skins and what not. I don’t want to see rifle skins trying to substitute for shotgun skins, hahaha.

Now that I think of it an engineer with a short bow or longbow shooting explosive arrows or something in that direction would be pretty cool.

f-abilities could be switching between different arrows, like toxic, flamable or whatever

personally i would like to have two sorts of rifle:

1. short range rifle: all skills are at close range with high aoe dmg. like a shot gun

2. long range rifle: all skills are long range with high single dmg. like a sniper rifle

our current rilfe is just a bad mix of both. aa is long range medium dmg, decent cc, high mid range burst…
