pandasake Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I just want to know because its been bugging me for a while now. Seems people really like it and I know its kind of impossible to get at the moment. Please help me for those who have it and/or seen it in action! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonious Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 nothing, exact same stats as the plasma sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadishia Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 It looks cooler. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcewingX Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 It is bloody rare and I've read there hasn't been an alert for it in 3 months (maybe 4 at this point). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katakuna Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 The forbidden fruit. The untouchable ecstasy. The rarest of the rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaiters Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Charge damage. It's really not that great. And it's only rare because of dumb luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulie Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Charge damage. It's really not that great. And it's only rare because of dumb luck. Or, it's not even in the loot table... Or DE plans on selling it for platinum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaiters Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) I have two. It sucks. And It's on the alert system. Trust me. They should sell it for plat though, people would buy it just for the name. And find out 'hey! ZEDD was right...'

ironserenity Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Or, it's not even in the loot table... Or DE plans on selling it for platinum. Actually the dark sword has 5 more base damage AND 5 more on charge attack (plasma has 25 and 120 respectively, dark sword gets 30 and 125) and both have the same swing speed. So dark sword wins, and there were 2 ? missions with the dark sword in the past 3 weeks by the by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulzscha Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 125 base charge damage. Put a high enough Killing Blow mod on it, it'll be a beast. Also, IMO only: Dark Sword, Pangolin Sword and Skana Prime in a three-way tie for the coolest looking swords in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlro Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It is bloody rare and I've read there hasn't been an alert for it in 3 months (maybe 4 at this point). Nope, I got the BP a few days ago. I haven't build it yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminati07 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I hope you guys are aware that this thread is ~2 months old, when the Dark Sword wasn't in the drop table... How did you even dig this up to necro it? oO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otaiken Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) There's some missing information on the wiki. For example from my testing Dark Sword staggers all basic Grineer on normal hit. Which is quite useful sometimes. Dunno about Corpus (haven't tested that yet) and it doesn't seem to stagger infested from my experience. So that's one little thing it has over Plasma Sword. Apart from that it's mostly looks and the fact that it has more coloring options. EDIT: Wow it's true this topic is old, didn't notice that.

Agent_of_Change Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I picked up two blue prints for it since sunday I have built one haven't used it yet waiting to level the dark dagger first I will say regardless of stats it's freaking cool looking so for that alone I'd equip it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraveDude8 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It looks like a giant throwing knife, and therefore awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Law_Abiding_Engineer Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It is bloody rare and I've read there hasn't been an alert for it in 3 months (maybe 4 at this point). A couple days ago, it was open in a mission. Im so glad my friend and I got it. She and I both like it since i deals triple damage to infested, has fair normal-swing damage, and when modded with elemental mods, it will affect multiple enemies that are close to your first target. The plasma sword, can't hit multiple enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
