Please give us a Samurai Sword for reaching BR 120.

Why not a rapier, also considering that they would be pretty much useless, about as good as knives (including those one hit ones) are and about as popular,

Or a tachi. Time periods matter. Though generally yes when someone says "samurai sword" they are thinking of the katana. However, for knifing mechanics, a wakizashi would be most appropriate.

I think I'd prefer an old english broad sword personally if we were to get swords. I'd rather stab at people than slash at them, considering the number of heavies in any given fight.

This.

Go play yugi-oh or whatever if you want samurai swords.

Dayum they could not make basic bloom effects back in that day? Adding a bunch of sphere glow things on the blade.

Give it ten years and we'll be looking back to now saying the same thing.

Black and white tv was the pinnacle for a long time lol.

ES high damage weapons would be cool.
A unique take on the Underboss and Commissioner that adds faction flavor.
(IMO, the Underboss should have been NS, and the Commissioner should have been ES, but with relatively minor differences between the faction variants.)

TR could get an NS double barreled pistol along the lines of:



VS could get a "beam" weapon that would fire lancer-esque projectiles that deal high damage.



And NC could get a high damage rail weapon along the lines of this:

I take high offense to that comment thank you very much!

how about no. no swords of any kind. This game's melee weapons are silly enough as it is.

Swords and knives are the most trivial and least controversial weapon you can add while being fairly "cool." Pistols would be cool as well but only if they are introduced very carefully (same stats as current pistols).

If you add RAF-type of rewards, people will cry foul. (cause of time and effort spent on RAF).

If you add camos or lumifiber, people will cry foul. (cause of conflict wih directive or Marketplace camos).

If you add decals, people won't care. (Meh).

If you add nothing, what's the incentive to hit higher BR when titles run out? (Benign BR rewards can only encourage retention and people upgrading to All Access or XP Boosts. It's been brought up before but after maxing out on BR and certing out in your preferred play style, there is reduced incentive to continue with All Access).

*Edited incase ppl don't recognize my assumptions.

mmm well for the BR 120 guys you could have the devs add in gold plated weapons of all the character defaults, (and I suppose the shotty too cause that's now free). It wont really change anything outside of the guns looking different.

And personally I am sick to death how overblown the kitana has become.

It worked then lol.

TR - Mace
NC - Flail
VS - katana

And by Mace i mean a beasty ornate mofoing mace.

I want a gravity hammer for my MAX damnit!

VS - Light Sabre
NC - Nanite infused steel long sword
TR - Straight up Chain saw they don't need swords

In the files. NC MAX melee weapon.

For Infil's only though. See them coming a mile away.
