Well, I'm playing game for the second time ( waiting for plot to go further is fu**** up, by the way ), and I am wondering about one thing. In hyperenergetic labs I have made a research "Wargots mechanical weapons adaptation" or something like that ( I've got Polish version, ya know ), but problem is that I cant find any Wargot mechanical gun. I've encountered many Wargot soldeirs with some nice looking and nice ass kicking, triple barreled machine guns, but I can't take them from bodies, and they don't account in the loot when mission ends. Will I ever find some Wargot mechanical stuff, or am I being condemned to use rusty M60 to the end of the game? I'm playing on 1.2 patch.

I've not been able to play the game in a long time, but if I remember correctly they should show up under the heavy weapons section of the inventory screen.

I never found them to be that particularly useful in the hands of my own soldiers to be honest.They are quite powerful in the hands of the Wargots though.

But I guess I spent too much time improving the skills associated with the PKM, XM8 and Colt .45s, which I used a lot, so the Wargot plasma weaponry got left behind. Still, that's just how I progressed the game - you might have a different experience with them.

Well, I've found them ( machine guns ) pretty useful at close/medium range, but indeed, never used them too much. Most of times I had one, max two soldiers who can and are good in wielding them, mostly technicians.

Still, I can't find that Wargot gun in my inventory. Maybe I will be able to hold them later in game? ( now I'm making research so I'll be able to find that Cultist's communicator, you know, preparations for assaulting Wargot's mothership ). Or this is another of game's bugs.

PS. I do not mean Wargot Plasma Rifles, if someone didn't notice.

As I can see from data files:

First: Developers make Wargot machineguns, some tech for them and make them usable.

Second: They has read technical detals of "Wargot" caliber 14.5X105mm(low possibility), or
has some proplems with creating special animation/configs ets for human handling (high possibility)
and make this weapons unusable, but forgot, or don't want, or hasn't time for delete tech.
Later they balanced Wargot MG with human counterparts, and this weapon  became unefficient for our soldiers(M60 has all stats better than this gun). They start make it usable again, but 
didn't complete this work.

If you want use it in game, search for mods, make yours own mod, or you may try offer suggestion for some active mod projects( if modmaker finds your ideas useful in his/her work)
