what the heck a rifle has to do with thief….
shouldnt rangers get rifles?
I was hoping for long bow.. 1200 range …..

hell maybe even shield(jk).. but really, what does a loud rifle have to do with thieves

Technically “thieves” won’t be getting rifle. The new specialization will be getting them.

And rifle will probably be a sniper weapon, suiting the Assassin or Operative playstyle. Maybe even a bandit playstyle.

+1 yup I agree. Specializations will change every classes traits, utility & overall machanics. So the ‘thief’ wouldn’t be a thief anymore once you’ve unlocked the specialisation. I’m betting with what alchemyst stated, think we’ll be an assassin theme sniper killshot awesome camo Counter Strike guy.

Is this post a troll?

Thieves use PISTOLS. You know… gunpowder that blows bullets out of a barrel…. Wanna know what other weapon works like this? A RIFLE.

Did I miss where there was an official announcement that thieves are getting rifles for their specialization?

If talking about the “Counter Strike guy” I’m afraid commandos don’t walk around with 3 brooms up their kitten s and the inability to do anything else but shoot and crouch. That would be a fairly bad trade. :P

Are you both missing half a brain?

We don’t know for sure Thief is getting the rifle, or do we? I can see the Thief getting the rifle with the specialization of a Sniper archetype.

and the Ranger profession in a later expansion may get the use of a rifle through the specialization of a Hunter.

Besides the skill “steal” and the trait “mug”, what does anything else have to do with thieves?

Thieves also kick puppies.

:/ Sorry, no “kick” skill in game. And no ambient puppies either.

I’m a thief and I don’t kick puppies. Watched “John Wick” and that didn’t end well for the thief…

Ending is relative to the puppies subject:

So if we don’t get rifle whose gonna be the first one to make a troll post? “LMAO how’s that rifle?!”. Although who am I kidding the rifle wielding engi in the trailer is prob enough proof that we are getting rifle, even though that clip is well before they started showcasing the new class weapons in the trailer so carry on.

I’ll be the first to make a ridiculous post on how the thief killed me off screen with the 1200 range.

Just so we can get that out of the way sooner than later.

I just don’t understand why Thieves can’t use every weapon in the game.

I’d prefer to use a few weapons effectively first. Because till they’re done releasing new specializations and weapons for our class only then we’ll make the most out of it as the devs have enough time to put in good afford into our future weapons. We’re much luckier than warriors if you think about it.

Warriors have a utility and an elite skill that kicks.

I don’t know. I’d perhaps nominate myself, but I’m not sure. In the end, while most of people want to fulfill their dreams and turn their Thieves into one-shot snipers, military commandos, ninjas, samurais and more things that have probably more to do with Warriors than Thieves, it’s not even up to us to decide what the whole class should become. I’m sure some Engineers would love to turn into Mechwarriors and ride an Atlas or a Mad Cat.

Aaaand… The possibility of sniping is probably better left through the use of stationary weapons at the very best.
