Buff the new swords

[vhvhbtjcgsfh]

they are reskin of katana, and the katana sucks

I know historically speaking katanas are supposed the most deadly blade.

but these new knight sets are cool and deserve much better.

buff damage and range i mean srsly. look at this gameplay of it (not mine)

Lol, he sais ''die waffe ist voll unlogisch'' well, if the weapon should be logic, it should kill in one hit... so.....

Anyways, I have a feeling that the ''sweet spot'' is easier to find on this weapon, and I sck with the katana, but I'm quite good with the broadsword.


Though a buff would be nice.

Edit: changed my mind, read further down for details.

Meh... The swords and the like are all simply show weapons, meant to show prestige. No reason to buff them. The weapons themselves are designed for the following reason: People get to say "Look at me! LOOOOOOOOOK AAAAAAAAAAT MEEEEEEEEEEE! *Swings sword around* I've got this and you don't!"

This is the same principle for the new pistols, shotguns, and sniper rifles released with the Western update. They're simply reskins of their Uber/Super counterparts.

If we start buffing reskins, then it's a slippery slope to a point where Payers (as opposed to freeloaders/free-players) gain an advantage simply by paying into the game, which is unfair.

Dude, it whould be awesome, cuz I use the katana, but it's already buffed. More buffs whould make you slice the whole enemy team in half!

Edit: That video guy isn't even trying!

I lol'd. That's exactly what this game does and is the reason I stopped playing. Weapons aren't available for VP, and cost way too much for funds. I could get a pistol and submachinegun for my soldier here, or I could get an OP dev set in BFP4F for my assault (Primary, Secondary, Attachments, Clothing) both for 8000 funds. Sorry but NO thanks. As a free player I can't play or win here. It's not Pay2Win here, it's Pay2Play. Impossible to have fun cause you're default shotgun is nothing compared to the Super Cheeser. Whereas in P4F at least your G3 is accurate. If you have skill you can have quite a bit of fun.

New swords = orbital punch = katana = machete = more range, every hit 40-44 dmg (crit´s do more ofc), more range.

Not really sure about those "more range & base damage" weapons. Overall it´s a nice idea but isn´t really working good as lvl 15+


I tried katana on my commando (got it from claw) and after the first hit I always got BS´d away or something else made me having no opportunity to hit twice.. Superknife-range isn´t really much lower but the attack speed + dmg is way better. That new kind of weapon could really need a little damage / attackspeed or 2nd fire buff (Like "Heavy hit": "A slow but very powerful attack that will fear your enemys to death" or something like that)

i've been playing a few more rounds with the sword and changed my mind on the buffing part. the sword is really great when combinesd with the micro smg or tec-9

It's basically a reskin of the katana, but with a bigger ''sweet spot'' and a little higher range than uber/super knife, or at least it feels like it.

And yes, this weapon is mostly for show. and that's why i bought (and am now using) it, people are actually surpsrised when I storm them head on with it. and they go nuts when they hear how bad I talk about it. It's true, the weapon meets it's match against a super/uber knife, but with the right skill, you'll own anyone. even gunners on leg-it
