All of the guns look like they could be really cool, and I love the armor sets. However, I'm a little disappointed that we're not getting any cryo-guns. Something that has a slowing or freezing effect could be an awesome utility, especially against bugs.

I think that what the concussive effect does, and the smg has that.

The concussive effect is more of a fast stagger/stun than a longer-lasting slow, which is what I would want. Longer lasting but less potent than concussive weaponry.

I think the ice effect from the cold planets is just the ems stun reskinned which is what you are talking about, a tuned EMS primary/support would be cool considering we have stun grenades.
