(THIS IS ALL HIS WRITING. mine will be in ()
(The Primary;) The Vraks Mark Bloody-V Infantry Autogun. This absolute machine.
Las-guns? Plasma? Slugs? Scattershot? Nah. No. No. What you need to do is shred lead out from this 'ere barrel right between the eyes of any nasty bugger lookin' your way. This thing is feral.
It's here to melt the hearts of the cutest allies and the pre-frontal lobe of any specialist, or elite, or dirty trash mob that stands between you and what you want turned to paste. Now, it ain't got much penetration, but boy does it scorch out the ammo. Quick reload. Insane dodge distances. Makes just about everythin' go inside out, promise.
Now, why this, right? Why this instead of a plasma gun, or revolver? Simple. Because it kills things so incredibly fast it ain't an issue, and has the added advantage of clearing scrap off of your teammates, far better than any other gun. Just you watch, yeah?
Some of ya' might've seen this gun in use and know people often take Fire Frenzy instead of Deathspitter–those people are buffoons, or they're zealots. Y'know, the ones who see so much red they can barely make out five metres in front of 'em? That ain't you. Calm, collected, tough.
You gotta shoot farther. Deathspitter gives less power, but that power goes to five stacks just like Fire Frenzy, and although you gotta get it from killin' at close range, the damage applies to all distances. This means you can turn scrap into paste right in front of ya' and turn the lights out for any specialist or elite far down the lane, understood? Remarkable piece of metal.
Just remember, against maulers, fry 'em in the chest, not the head. Dead in seconds.
(the Melee; Munitorum Mk III Sapper Shovel)
Just like the ogryn use theirs to scrape crap from the floor, so will you--just that the crap is sentient, evil, corrupt, and won't get out of your bloody face, yeah? This. Thing. Throne, it smites.
Decimator for general horde clear. Your Mk V Infantry can be used for almost a whole damn mission, trust me, but you gotta know when to keep it conservative, or to keep that mag stacked and ready for any oncomin' big lads, right? Thwack away, smash 'em dead, even flak.
Now, limbsplitter? You could take thrust, equally as fine, trust me. But we got carapace for a reason, and this mean piece of work, let me tell ya'. Crusher comin' your way? Ping 'em. 20% extra damage like I told ya'. Special attack, turn this beast into a pickaxe. Heavy attack right onto his karkin' dome and he is dead in one swing or a quick follow-up, every time.
Suddenly, all routes covered. Lots of ammo, lots of damage, an answer to every piece of grime you and your allies got in your way, soldier.
("But Mr lot2002, We still got Two points!")
Almost forgot about that, eh... let's settle it then. You got all you need, but what do you want?
Well, you got options, I'll tell you that much!
You can take +5% Health and Covering Fire to grant allies within 5 metres of a kill 15% toughness and a 10% damage buff for 3 seconds. Trust me, with the Mk V Infantry, when you're blasting those flies off of your allies, you keep them topped and safe. Not to mention, this works when they're downed by a trapper, mutant or pox hound, giving 'em a bare minimum 15% toughness, if not more from anythin' else cuttin' them up.
What else? What, you want more grenades? Alright.
One point in Grenadier to carry four shredder frag grenades, and Demolition Team to get a 5% chance to gain a grenade every time you or an ally kill an elite of specialist.
More buffs, how about that? Got it, here's this for you.
You can take For The Emperor for a +10% base damage increase for 5 seconds every shout, followed by Focused Fire to increase max target stacks to 8, givin' you a whopping 32% damage buff against a single target, 40% toughness, 40% stamina and 12% damage to all allies.
Just don't forget, under my watch, you're still spammin' Focus Target for toughness gain, yeah?
You can even use these points to get krak grenades instead, or to get 'Only In Death Does Duty End' for total ally revive overkill. You can get a +5% ranged damage boost and Precision Strikes for more damage. Killzone. Twinned Blasts. World's your oyster, soldier.
Now get out there, we can't expect the Emperor to do all the work.
