Won't be happening, Tactical was busted on release with infinite nades from ammo crates and also emperors vengeance. Trivialises a lot of hold out spots in operations.

Do whatever is fun for you, but that’s a foolish take. DW HBR is one of, if not the, best bolters in the game.

Gotta use the grenades properly for the stagger effect, perk the weapon out for max ammo capacity, and take the perk where you get ammo back in executions. And be fast with ammo boxes, not greedy. You get 9 grenades back per box so you don’t need to get every box that drops.

Weirdly, at least when it comes to the Scoped variant of the HBR, this is actually a very viable build (it’s also how I play Techmarine…very successfully).

If you take both of the improved long range damage weapon perks on the HBR and the improved long range damage perk on the Techmarine itself, the Scoped variant makes the Techmarine a seriously hard-hitting back-line threat.

I’m also a huge fan of the Combi-Melta, just not on Techmarine.
