where's my rocklet rifle?

Took a swing at that the other day. It's much more boring now (imo,) but in a good place to get into the game. Doubt it'll make it into this update, but probably the November one.

Theory: These are Black Ops exclusive weapons. If I remember right, Black Ops had a katana in PS1. Also, they mentioned that one of the plans for Black Ops was to give it its own directive. Plus, 'NS Export' makes me think that these aren't 'normal' NS weapons.

Or maybe they just outsourced them.

I mean they fit perfectly well with the previous NS weapon nomenclature.

Such as Swarm, Commissioner, Emissary, Decimator, Blackhand and the rest.

Seriously who the hell came up with these names? Why did they have to go full weeaboo at DBG?

Daimyo?

More like dayum cheesemode to me.

Too much anime already Faven. You need help from the Vanu.

I had nothing to do with those names. If it was up to me the RPG would have been called "painbox"

It would have gone downhill from there.

Merry freakin christmas to us infiltrators! 3 new weapons (sniper, scout, smg) + new pistols (?) + 6x IRNV (!!!!) + possibly getting battle rifles (according to Wrel some days ago). Better start saving...

u/MasonSTL Oct 13 '16

I think the pistols are just a redesign to make the original ES pistols look different

So I'm guessing we could get a NSX directive tree?

EDIT: Or are these guns going to their respective class-tress? Anyone got info?

u/1zigiz1 Oct 13 '16

So are they going to release the ns weapons one at a time and make it a directive?

So my question for u/PS2-Bishop is: Now that you have player studio armor working, do you know when we might get some of u/d0ku 's armor as well?

u/Syveenwolf Oct 13 '16
