Highguard Weapon - The Longhorn

This bad boy was in high collaboration with one of my favorite hard surface 3d artists Matt Sharp. As you can tell, our weapon suite is very close to past projects - Titanfall and Apex. Which is honestly the typical weapon suite of almost every Shooter. There is always the handcannon pistol. Our Wingman/Deagle if you will. Having helped design and refresh the Wingman from TF1 to TF2 and eventually Apex, I wanted to hit the same vibe with this one but get a bit fancier. A revolver with a slide action. I know, ridiculous. It's a video game and we had fun with it. Honestly the functionality worked out quite well, and it was all for a reason. Theatrical, cinematic reasons that the Animation team wanted to push. I feel like this design really delivers in the hand cannon fantasy. This revolver started off a bit different, earlier on, and pivoted to what you see here. Look out for another Highguard Previs Post for that design.
