Weapon Suggestions

[Sharpsight]

A new weapon for every type

Light(daggers, knives)

Dual wield dagger
a non-new model weapon that could be very fun. My idea of this would be faster yet weaker dual wield swords. The special attack I imagine would be a double throw and a grab where you would be british and would look like this:

second suggestion:
Katars
For those who don’t know, these are katars:

These could be strength scaled weapons since they are also known as punch daggers. I was thinking about dual wield like in Chiv 2, but they could also work single handed. Special attack would be a single strong attack, like a shot but short range.

Medium(swords, short)

Machete
very simple idea, could even use a non-handguard cutlass as the model. These could also be used as strength weapons as they are portrayed in popular media. The special attacks could be an overhead strike aimed at the head and/ or a stab through the stomach, a la Jason Vorhees.

Wakizashi
A dual wield katana, like many have asked for. Very simple, and if needed could just be a squashed katana. Would this be a reskinned dual wield sword? perhaps, but it could have a weebish flair

Heavy(Greatswords, hammers)

Nodachi
Longer katana, a blend of greatsword and katana. Special attack could be an overhead like traditional.

Macuahuitl

Could do a deviation and make it two handed. This is a really cool weapon, as it is made of obsidian. And, it is strong enough to decapitate a man. This special attack could be a club smash and a whirlwind, so a blend of greatsword and hammer.

Ranged(Bows, guns, crossbows)

Blowgun
Simple idea, blow-dart gun. The ammo would be darts that could have special effects or plain damage increase. Special attack could be loading multiple darts and giving a hearty blow.

Blunderbuss
Ye olde shotgun, basically. Normal attack would be a spreadshot, and special attack could be a focus shot or overload shot with more pellets.

Sling
I was going to make this a sling-shot, but this is way better. You could get the ammo along with rock salt. Special attacks could be a catapult type shot with multiple rocks and a more outlandish melee attack of using it like a flail.

Out there ideas

Pistol swords/ other combination weapons

special attack: Ranged shot and rushdown where you stab and shoot.

crank gun
very out there

No special attack idea.

punch pistol

melee gun

chakrams

very cool but unreasonable, like all of these.

Reason to add

While the current pool of weapons is not unsatisfactory by any means, especially considering combinations, I feel like it could have more additions to it. Note on the out there ideas: chakrams and pistol swords are most likely to be added. Anyways, what do you think?

[key]

Sounds cool to me. Me personally, I’d have gone and really dug deep on the movesets, but that’s just me.

[Perf]

my shitty opinion on all those weapons

@Sharpsight

Dual wield dagger

i hate dual wield weapons, they shouldnt even be a weapon types imo

@Sharpsight

Katars

sounds more like a dagger but with a weird wooden handle

@Sharpsight

Machete

looks too similar to a cutlass

@Sharpsight

Wakizashi

dual wield gihunsdfkglsdgh

@Sharpsight

Nodachi

you are making words up

@Sharpsight

Macuahuitl

club with spikes, why

@Sharpsight

Blowgun

idk

@Sharpsight

Blunderbuss

i kinda wish dual pistols stopped existing and replaced by thing, would have to remove multishot from the flintlock tho

@Sharpsight

Sling

sounds dumb on a serious character and i hope it gets added and becomes the meta so we see edgy people using a goofy aah slingshot
i like it tho

@Sharpsight

Pistol swords

tears of the kingdom

@Sharpsight

crank gun

@Sharpsight

punch pistol

its just a flintlock but hard to notice, sounds useless in this game

@Sharpsight

chakrams

sounds cooler as a projectile, like a tier 2 boomrang or smth

that is all, feel free to insult me

[Sharpsight]

No air quality?

(this is joke don’t take my maple syrup)

[EtherealR]

TFW No Scythes, sadness

[Average_Red_Dead_enj]

While scythes were not traditionally a weapon, there were such things as war scythes, and I definitely agree

[Average_Red_Dead_enj]

As for the actual post, maybe the dual katana’s can have a grab where you do something like cross them to do a sort of scissor motion on the enemy. For the nodachi I think this would be really cool and a more slow, hard-hitting weapon, and there should definitely be a rare variant because I’m sick of the best katana type weapon being a sabre (I know it’s not a katana but it looks like one so idc) overall good suggestion

[LichdaDerp]

Monsoon cosplay when?

[DynamicLlama]

Personally I think a bunch of these are like weapon wraps but like spiky clubs would indeed be pretty fun. Shotgun is a fun idea, gun sword is just a bayonette which could work pretty nicely. For the rest of the weapons I would make a unique move set but overall good idea

[Tr0xic]

Some of these ideas are cool but some of them are lame, bad, or simply don’t have enough details to form an actual opinion on.

I think dual wield weapons shouldn’t be their own thing. Idk it just feels like a good choice, especially since they usually outclass their one-wield version. I won’t respond to dual wield suggestions.

I like this idea as someone with a Warlord save. It adds more variety and the reasoning is actually pretty good.

Machete is not unique enough imo.

@Sharpsight

Nodachi
Longer katana, a blend of greatsword and katana. Special attack could be an overhead like traditional.

honestly what is this. i searched it up and it seems like a long katana, not necessary.

I kind of like this idea. But it should be a variant on a current weapon type and not it’s own weapon type; maybe like a club with an additional ability or effect.

@Sharpsight

Ranged(Bows, guns, crossbows)

Blowgun
Simple idea, blow-dart gun. The ammo would be darts that could have special effects or plain damage increase. Special attack could be loading multiple darts and giving a hearty blow.

Sling

All of these are really good imo. A dart-type weapon as a subclass would be a nice addition. The blowgun should be the old weapon type though, while a dart gun would be an iron weapon type.

The blunderbuss is good. I don’t think it should have a focus shot though, as that would ruin it’s identity as a short-ranged weapon and it doesn’t really make any sense. I think making one of it’s abilities similar to the pump shotgun in ULTRAKILL would be fun (pump to add more pellets and spread, overpump leads to a self-explosion that deals self-dmg (but you can dodge it in the game)). It’s other ability should be a comically-sized pellet that cartoonishly deforms the gun. This cannonball-esque bullet explodes into shrapnel on hit.

Sling is cool. I don’t really have anything to say, I just like it.

For all the “Out there ideas”, they might be fine but theres no explanation on how they work so I have no opinion on them. But the chakrams are cool, maybe we need a boomerang subclass?

[hanmbi]

i like the ranged weapons
thats it, its all i have to say

[Toystory890]

i think most fit better as a special weapon rather than a main weapon type. Nodachi could be a boss drop like how halberd and lance is for example. The reason i think these work better as special weapons is cos, well they sound pretty unique. A halberd is basically both a spear and an axe. The gun sword is a rifle/pistol on a sword.

@Sharpsight

Katars

I have a few characters who’d love to use that
