[Suggestion] Katana-like melee weapon for Infiltrators

    That.

    Will replace your primary and your knife, but can equip pistols. Or if it's too overpowered, replace all your weaponry (would be awesome if the weapon folds like Lt. Sulu in Star Trek).

    Operates like the knife, but with wider swing, longer range and fast RoF. Secondary is for slow decapitation move.

    I'd really like to have the option to go full ninja with my infiltrator.

    Thoughts?

    Nope. Don't need in this game.

    Yes. Just yes.

    You would bring a knife to a gunfight? Or rather, a full-scale battle? The knife is in the game because all FPS games need a weapon that doesn't use ammo. A sword would just be ridiculous, this isn't exactly star wars...

    He doesn't want to play a Jedi, he wants to be NINJA WARRIOR

    How about a jar of pee instead of a weapon in the secondary slot

    What if you can throw your knife for a 1HKO, but then had to go pick it up else you never spawn with it again?

    I am far more threatened by tecz urine in a jar than a knife. Confucious says no weirdo is complete without a jar of urine in the basement.

    No no no. And oh yeah.. NO

    If you want to play space ninja go play warframe.

    Technically it's because it's easier to just make a generic knife with one animation. If they wanted to put a bit more quality into it, each gun would have it's own bashing animation. (functionally it would be no different than the current quick-knife.)

    Swords are like knives only bigger.

    Apparently commando pro in MW2 didn't cause enough misery in people's lives.

    If we are to add a sword please pick something more original and less pop culture cheesy type.

    Fusion Blade. PS1 already did it. Hit with the same damage as the knife, mostly cosmetic. Had a faster swing in secondary mode.

    Only if it's able to jabby-jab through spawn room shields.

    i love how he wants to add a sword and then make it swing faster than a knife...... a=f/m

    Swords that swing faster then knives!

    NO! infiltrators are already completely invisible and are already able to kill people in a quarter of a second what more ridicules weapons do they need?
