May we have more unlockable weapons?

Who else loves unlocking weapons? I know it's not just me. I'm running a stalker with broadsword right now, his bio is something about a ninja-sword collector. I chose B-sword because it has the most unlockables.

Broadsword has the most unlockable types right now, 9 or 10 for B-sword (including valkyrie blade)

Assault Rifle has 6 unlockables, counting both nemesis or coucil weapons unlocked at the same time as 2 seperate guns.

Battle Axe has 7, counting the talsorian as 2, color tintable and not.

Archer bow only has 2

Claws only has 2 (the 2 most badass, mind you. )

Dual Blades has 3

Katana has 3

poor Dual Pistols has 0, might change with GR, tho. Let's hope so

Pulse Rifle has 3, counting the crey ones as 2 seperate, however unlocked at the same time

War Mace has 2

Sheilds have a good amount, 16

Part of my love for video games, online and offline, is unlocking stuff. I would love to see more unlockable weapons in the future. Any suggestions for any kind of styles you might like to see? Serious or not? (I do get a rofl from seeing some of the crazy powerset jokes that come from these suggestion and idea threads, dual archery and such, lol)

A large majority of the unlockable weapons are those that already existed across the villain groups and therefore had a reason to be unlockable.

If any new weapons aren't used by some new faction (such as the Praetorian Police force), I'd rather they be available from the get-go.

Unlockable Weapons make me

Enough with this unlockable crap, please. Pardon my word choice, but it's really starting to drive me up the wall. Unless you want to enable costume unlocks to be account-wide, then the LESS unlockable weapons we have, the better.

Now, the "more weapons" sentiment I can very much echo. Please, please give us more weapons. But actually GIVE us the weapons, don't slap them on some level 35+ content or behind a terrible grind.

LOL well yah just giving them to us right off the hop would be even better!
Personally I was pretty proud of myself for taking down 100 fake Nemesis. But just having the alternate rifle to start would be awesome too.

The Talsorian sheild was really worth the wait. The fact that even when it is closed it still stays on the costume only makes it cooler. I am all for having to earn some gear.

I have an ice blaster that I dream of putting an arm cannon on (something like what Vandle rocks). I fear this day will never come, but a guy can dream.

Idk it took it off wiki. It’s probably an old pic, lol. There was another one but it obscured the arm.

I would really rather that the unlockable stuff counted account-wide as well, if we're going to have to unlock new stuff in the first place.
I've had a few instances where I've seen a weapon and thought of a great concept for a character using it, only to discover that I'd need to spend dozens of levels to even get to the stage where I can begin the grind for it.

Not that there's no sense of achievement, that sort of thing is good, but after spending my time in the Shadow Shard, or getting enough Vanguard Merits for half of a helmet, you really do wonder if it's worth it.

I must be used to bad graphics, because the picture looks pretty normal to me. xD

EDIT: I guess I should post something about being first after a red name here, huh?

More weapons; yes
More unlockables?.. No..

I'm fine with unlockabes, if they either unlock the costume part/weapon for all characters on the account or, if they gave you a "unlock costume part X" token that could be redeemed one time by any character on the account. That way, you only get to use the part as many times as you've "earned" it, but you could give it to new/low-level toons.

Bone Claws would be prime.

Or that cool Bazooka worn around by one of the Crey powersuit guys.
