Commanders! Japan certainly has some interesting prototype weapons in their tech tree, yes? Including those made as a desperate last ditch attempt to fight the enemy. But what if I told you there was a rifle so unique and crude it would make the VG1-5 look beautiful?
This is where I encourage the addition of the Homeland Defense Rifle
Such a weapon would be a single-shot sidearm, of which we’ve already seen in the form of the Liberator and Mosin Obrez. Or even a main weapon, similar to that of the existing Berdan II (Of course, sitting at BR I)
This would also fill the gap of the limited choice of unique pistols Japan has compared to other nations, as well as making a good counterpart to the aforementioned weapons available to the USA and USSR
I personally believe this would be no less than an event or battlepass weapon, considering it never was confirmed to see frontline combat.
Is this something you’d be interested in seeing added for Japan?
(Side note: Rules say I need to include a poll, but it says i’m not allowed to post polls?)
Yeah, I think we should rewrite this as a poll post. I’m worried if this weapon comes as an event item, it’ll be even worse than the Liberator—it feels really underwhelming and unfinished.
On the other hand, it does look fun. So why not just give it cheap, as a small event squad weapon? That way it’s actually worth carrying.
I was also thinking: if they add a new Japan mainland map later, and make this a small squad reward for that campaign, that would be perfect. At least if it’s not a gacha crate weapon, we won’t have to deal with garbage pulls from crates.
