Proliferate "unlockable" Assault Rifles to Arachnos Soldier powerset

[Warrior7]

Exactly as the title says, it would be nice if Arachnos Soldiers could finally get the old unlockable Assault Rifle customizations. For some reason this was never on live despite the starting Arachnos Soldier powerset being graphically a subset of Assault Rifle. As it stands, we only have the old cash shop skins, which frankly look awful.

 

Specifically, the following should be ported:

• Council Assault Weapon
• Council SMG
• Tommy Gun
• Vanguard Redding Rifle
• Nemesis Rifle
• Nemesis Rifle 2

and if you're feeling generous, Military Assault Rifle, since the Arachnos Soldier powerset only uses bullets and grenades unlike the actual Assault Rifle powerset.

 

It always sucked that despite being able to have costumes that weren't the Soldier uniform, we could never change the weapon as well. I won't pretend to know how difficult it actually is to get the other models rigged up for customization, but given AR uses similar attachment nodes et al. I'm hoping it's easy enough that this will happen one day.

I say all rifles for everyone!

I mean, all weapons for everyone too, while we're at it.

And some way to get any ranged attack to emit from any rifle.  Or other weapon.

 

Just . . . 

Yes.

 

All of the yes.

I know this is an old post, but was wanting to bring it back up. I see no viable reason a robotics MM, a beam rifle blaster or a SoA couldn't use a Tommy Gun.

The main thing stopping me from making a Soldier is the lack of good Assault Rifle options. Either I can go for Spikey Evil Gun, or Glowing Pew Pew Rifle, neither of which feels amazing when all you want to do is shoot bullets. This is a thumbs up from me, boss.
