Retrait Mercer’s Axe and The Riot Shield

BenjaminT

Title says it all really. These two both stand above all others in their class but there’s still only ever been the original trait configuration from the campaign, which is about a year ago now. Why is this?

I’d love to hear the community’s suggestions for what traits they’d like to see on these weapons.

For Riot Shield I’d like to see…
First Strike/Concussion/Interrupt

Guaranteed stun on walkers with 100% health might mean the weapon doesn’t need Razor, especially for Brosita (who’s basically the only bruiser I really use these days). I’m also curious about what would happen if Ensnare was on a Riot Shield, though I’m pretty sure herding overrides rooted in the status effect hierarchy, so probably nothing very exciting.

For Mercer’s Axe I’d like to see
Lucky/Razor/Ensnare

Pretty self-explanatory

Riot Shield 
- First Strike(Silver)
- Concussion (Gold)
- Lucky (Gold)

Mercer’s Axe
- Primed (Silver)
- Razor (Gold)
- Destructive (Gold)

I think primed on MA would help scouts a lot. With primed on vest and 100% activation It would kinda be like having Zeke’s LT all the time

The only weapon I want to see in the game is the Westinghouse Phased Plasma Pulse Rifle.

I almost included your suggestion of silver primed (with full credit to you, of course!) in my original message because it’s such a great idea but I hoped you’d respond instead. Given the choice between your suggestion and mine I’d be asking for yours, no question!

Are you thinking about Fortified armour to want gold Lucky on a Riot Shield?

I wasn’t thinking about anything specific, I just like lucky in general. It helps with a lot of different things. 

Another Riot Shield I’d like to see would be;
- Lucky (Silver)
- Concussion (Gold)
- Ensnare (Gold)
