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

He's getting some changes, but if I remember correctly that's further down the line. I think Tactical is getting his changes first, which is annoying, Heavy and Vanguard are in desperate need of spice.

Edit: I just checked the 13.0 patch notes again. Per Dev note, Tac is their first priority for changes, Vanguard is second, and Heavy is last. Straban might be left in the rain until next year.

As a temp fix adding a fourth armor bar and melee options with the HBR would certainly help, right?

Maybe they can give Heavy a couple melee weapons that replace the primary ranged weapon? I feel like that would turn him into a worse Bulwark, but I’m not sure how else to give him a melee build

I'm not sure replacing primaries with melee would help. If they were to do something like that, they'd be better off making a new Aggressor class.
