Guild Wars 2

One of the screens for the new update shows a human halberd wielding guard robot.

Think this is a sign of things to come?

That is an NPC which are known to have weapons/armor that real players cannot access, so kind of just speculation at this point.

Well yes, but I was thinking along the lines of

Anet is making Halberds for a future release, so have a few models made already
They used one of them for the new release rather than wasting resources

I suppose it largely depends on whether or not the robots use human animations.

All that constitutes is a model for a single halberd skin. That’s the easy part – and we don’t even know how badly this model would clip with existing armor skins. Minis don’t attack, so it doesn’t imply that there are even halberd animations yet, much less skills associated with them.

Screw the halberd- GUARD ROBOT?!?!?!

Please tell me this is a new engineer utility…

It’s a mini… (15 char)

Imagine halberds… then imagine “You are too close to your target” messages.
