So, I made a few very rough videos of the new weapons, Igniter, Avalanche and Hussar. Sorry for the crappy vids, but I ain't no pro at this.
First impressions, the Igniter is OP on the Spectre, but then, what isn't? I can totally see some people replacing their Orkans for the Igniter. The Avalanche is ok. I don't know if many people will swap their Tridents out for this. For F2P, I don't see the point, escpecially if you have 3 decently leveled Tridents. Why would you spend those resources for a weapon that would give you more cycle damage but less range? It worked pretty well on the Falcon though, so I'll try to capture some footage of that later today. The Hussar is exactly what you think. More powerful than the Marquess but not the Dragoon. I kind of like it though. I tried it on a few builds, but settled on the Bulg. Hussar Bulg is like comparing Dragoon Fury when Dragoons first came out the Zeus Fury. Hussar over Ions is bascially a comparison of cycle damage over burst auto targetted damage. On the Bulg though, it works really well, and the auto reload of the weapon does give it an edge over the Pulsar. With Pulsars, you really want to empty a half mag before your next encounter, while the Hussars will auto reload as soon as you stop firing and dash into cover.
Here's the first vid.
