Pure speculation but if a model with a 2+ save is in cover and say cover grants a +1 to armor will 1+ saves be a thing?
Ala the old chaos knights from warhammer X edition?
What about hard cover granting a +2 save perhaps? Hence a 0+ but then modified by weapon modifiers?
Or will they cap it out at 2+ minimum?

There will definitely be ways to get a 1+ save. Terminators in cover. However, almost absolutely 100% for sure, saving throws of "1" will still fail. So, in effect, it's a 2+ save that resists being modified a bit.

This is a real thing in AoS but its not as bad now because when the Generals Handbook was released they introduced the 3 Rules of 1. I'm sure 40k will have some for baked in automatically.
Nothing says you can't have rolls of 1 always fail in your games in any case.
I doubt it, but it would be neat. Terminators would actually have reason to use cover for small arms fire.
I mean would this really be game breaking?
