i saw a pic for a carbine that is underslung (underyour arm instead of on top of it, similar to a mini-gun) and i was wondering how do you get one? I'm a melee specialist but i just want one in my house by my door to scare trespassers as they enter. Any info would be appreciated.

Not in game yet. Something to do with getting the art work done I recall.

Thanks for the info. I'll lurk these boards every so often to see when it gets implimented then.

actually this is meant to be a commando weapon, it was apparently in early rotw beta but it was taken out cause they couldnt get the graphics to work. And i know its called a carbine but dont whine about commandos wanting a weapon, the last gun they were hoping for (an assault rifle type weapon), the proton carbine went to BH.

And its still the ONE weapon that doesnt work lol
And the only weapon ( excluding low tier ones ) with NO AOE built in , and we all know that the AOE in commando is completly and utterly borked



When you get to hell tell them that i've sent you .... you'll get a group discount.

ouh , and the proton rifle drops from NK-Necrosis himself and with a drop rate very low . Good luck on sending a group of commandos to kill Necrosis.

Which is the only reason my commando character picked up MBH to complement commando.


As for the underslung carbine itself, I read somewhere that it may actually end up as a smuggler weapon.


I don't think that's appropriate, really, but I wouldn't be a bit surprised. And though it looks like a minigun, and friend of mine showed me a size comparison chart of Star Wars EU weapons out of a book, and the underslung carbine is roughly the size of an E-11.


If that's going to be the case, it should be certed to carbineers more than smugglers. If us commandos are going to have any form of underslung carbine, it damn well better be huge, like a true minigun. Otherwise, I think most of us would prefer an assault weapon like the proton carbine.


And as for the Proton Rifle, last time I checked, yes, it is *still* broken.





Nerfed my normal flamer, nerfed my krayt flamer, nerfed their respective DoTs, nerfed my precious Launcher Pistol all to hell, nerfed my rocket launcher and heavy particle beam cannons to total uselessness, but it's okay because they gave us a new gun...that doesn't work and is a rare loot drop off an uber bad guy. Thanks a lot, SOE!

I hope Commando gets it. Non-Commandos have no idea how messed up that profession is right now.
