One of my major gripes with the game, look at the rifles they're carrying. As far as I have seen they're nowhere in the game, neither able to be purchased or crafted, yet they sporadically pop up during cutscenes. Why has Bioware given the game a seemingly basic default weapon the player can't use?

So players would ask for it. Devs give it to them for free later and earn karma points.

Devs said they are considering to put it in the game later. However no promises from what they said.

It was a prop early in development, that was all. Also it will be added, yes they haven't promised....but I guarantee you it will be coming.

Here's a dumb question. How many will actually use it? Players tend to only use the best gun from each category. The best ARs are already at or past the point of being OP, and if that gun is better then those...

Maybe in MP or Insanity SP runs, but I always use weapons that have a great feel, are fun to use, and look good in a single player campaign.

I'll have to see how it is in game, but in SP it will be tough to replace my tried and true M8 Avenger.

I guess they have a difficulty to decide whether they should add it as 4.99$ DLC or give it for free in attempt to clear some karma. So they considering... but not promising.

The best ARs are already at or past the point of being OP, and if that gun is better then those... Not everyone is a min-maxer. I tend to use weapon that goes best with a character I roleplay in rpgs. For example that is the reason why Sara probably will never get a Revenant in my playthroughs. But anyhow - they do have a model of that gun, so I see no reason why it was not added other than a plans to cashgrab on it in form of cosmetic dlc. Thats just cheap, EA/BW... just cheap.

To be fair weapon packs in the past have included more than just one rifle and were never "cosmetic" as some of them even broke the game.

Not suggesting that it'd be a single weapon only nor did I say it'd be cosmetic, just that they've released weapons packs before so it's not crazy to think they'd do it again. Though if you want an example of cosmetic, they've released multiple armor packs for both players and NPCs that do next to nothing stat wise...so cosmetic DLC is something they dabble in.

I didn't say you did, I was referencing the post I originally quoted that was criticizing EA and Bioware as if they already had, not yours. I'm well aware of the alternate appearance packs, if there was an achievement for buying every dlc, add on, and cosmetic dlc Bioware has ever released I would have it I just think it's fair to wait for a company to actually make an announcement or release the product before I call them out on it is all.

Male Ryder has a background in the Alliance Military, so I play like my character is still using his military training. That means using standard issue armaments instead of the fancy smancy weapons. Though Bioware did make the Revenant into a pretty awesome rifle this time around. The game may still be incredibly fresh out the gate but I'm still anxiously awaiting the first new weapon packs, and here's hoping this missing rifle is in it.

Point is - I have been around long enough to see indications of where things most likely going, thus I said what I said. Time will tell.
