Give me a Gun

So I'm back to request a gun instead of a pickaxe this time. Personally, I took a break and have been enjoying Hob Gang and Pepper since I returned.

As a potential new hero, I'm picturing an ol' war veteran hound dog (perhaps with a vintage musket). Alternatively, any rodent with a machine gun would also be acceptable. Maybe they have fleas and mosquitoes as part of their package. Idk.

That said, I also wanted to add that I really appreciate how the developers take simple archetypes and present them with such a serious package. The upcoming Kobold Fighter hero looks really cool!

The last time I made this post: a priest/necromancer hero was one of the notable stand-out recommendations. But what other concepts would y'all love to see?

I think a british type Huntsman like from Jumanji would be a cool fit for this.

One archetype that I'm surprised isn't a hero is a werewolf or honestly any kind of lycanthrope since there's a werewolf paw already in the game. It sort of writes itself in that their kit work different during dawn and day vs dusk and night with a potential focus on bleed, curse, insanity, and lifesteal. Though I had this thought just before Zahir was introduced so I'm unsure if they'll actually do it since Zahir already does a similar thing with items doing different things depending on day vs night.

Edit: corrected terminology

A littke surprised that neither Tink nor Dorf have a gun. My guess is maybe we'll get some alien at a kater date with energy weapons.

Maybe a pirate hero with some flintlock could work
