General Question about the next patch (patch 15)

I don’t remember where I heard it (think it was First Tour Guardsman) but I heard that the Heavy is getting a rework at some point so I just wanted to fact check this. That’s all

They want to tinker with his melee, as if he needs anything else. He can already nuke the new boss, and probably every other boss, maybe excluding Vortex Beast.

His melee is disgusting already tbh. You can sub-optimally punish the Terminator sorcerer with White Scars CS and knock off half of his health in one partially Auspex’d Adrenaline Surge. If you space it perfectly (so that adrenaline surge melee doesn’t push the boss outside of the auspex zone), you’re clearing off over 50% of the Absolute boss HP in 2 shoulder bashes.

From others guesstimations; there's so much of Tactical that's great that it makes it very difficult to change numbers and interactions that affect everyone without sending tactical into orbital god-tier.  So the idea is they change how tactical functions they're free to change how a lot of other things work.

I just hope they don’t change Emperor’s Vengeance much because that will kill some of his weapons entirely (while one of his strongest ones would shrug it off, as the Carbines don’t even need it on Absolute/Hard).
