Guild Wars 2

instead of a shotgun? is this too much to ask? it looks kinda silly to run around with a sniper rifle and use it as a shotgun.

Warriors use them like rifles. What we need is more skins that look like shotguns!

I’m down with more shotgun skins but don’t change the rifle skills. Blunderbuss and jump shot are some of our best skills.

My BB > JS > OS combo can do 15k + in less than 2 sec

Actually, adding in a new gun type would be neat. New abilities etc. Would change this up in the game quite a bit to see a totally new weapon appear in the game.

Sawed off shotgun? Heck yeah I’ll take one!

I’m hoping we get a crossbow.

The problem is not the rifle itself, but the skins available to us Engineer.

Man I drool at the idea, exploding bolts!

Unfortunately I believe it’s been confirmed that existing weapons will be made available before adding new ones to the game. I could be wrong though.

So warriors get scepter/focus before engineers get a crossbow/shotgun?

And how come there’s a wrench skin probably since release, yet engineers can’t even wield it?

The SAB Rifle skin looks like a shotgun.

This skin looks like a shotgun imo: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Sharp_Shot
Or less of a sniper rifle at least. :p

I don’t believe they will unlock ALL weapons for all classes just some. Like Warrior will get access to Pistol and Engi will get access to Hammer or something. I cant find the article but I remember reading that in a “looking foreword” post from Anet.

It makes seance from a design perspective, its easier to create new skills than new skills and skins/animations.

My prediction is that we will get new weapons if/when they release an expansion and give us new classes.

It feel a little strange when shoot rifle skill 3 & 5.
