Devs should add new weapons
FYI, those things sucked IRL.
To quote your source:
“Pistol swords were not widely used and became uncommon relatively quickly, due to their expense and because instead of getting two weapons in one, one got a heavy pistol and a heavy, off-balance sword, as shown by the poor performance of the Elgin pistol.”
There’s still plenty of weapon catagories to dig into, though. Seems like everyone wants a two-handed axe (let me guess: borrowing from WoW?). Polearms existed as a terrestrial weapon class in-game, but were removed at some point.
Lord I wish the search feature on this forum worked so the same topic posts don’t keep appearing non-stop.
Kill stuff to unlock weapons skills, most confusing thing I ever heard of. (sarcasm)
