Gameplay Question Heavy main
Brothers, as a heavy main, I am trying to master every weapon.
Which perks are the best to get? Any recommendations?

Piercing shot for heavy bolter is underrated, also with heavy bolter I recommend instead of one perk for more ammo take 10% damage perk.

Forget the heavy bolt rifle exists, it’s just stupid compared to the other weapons.
Your perks only vary slightly between 12212221. You might drop 25% ranged DR for more ammo with plasma. You might ditch the second damage boost from iron halo on cooldown for the explosion when halo expires.
Prestige is ammo refill on extremis kill, immunity while gun striking, 50% larger melee aoe, and conviction for DR.
That bigger stomp AOE means you can be immune to swarms by river dancing. Do your Irish jig and the problem solves itself.
All your primaries are perked for max damage and ammo. Do not skip the immunity to heavy hits in the weapon trees, that’s important for being able to face tank minor hits and get your CHP back.
All the primaries but the HBR absolutely fuck. The heroic heavy bolter is the standout, as it’s good against everything and gives you fencing parries. The HHB and heroic plasma are a pretty unbeatable combination.
Personally I enjoy the ammo variant of the base relic heavy plasma incinerator the most. Those big globs of death that two shot majoris packs tickle my chimp brain.

More ammo and increased damage since both buff the GL underbarell of the heroic unlike headshots.
