MechNexus Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Take a look in the codex for a sec: How many melee weapons do primarily Puncture damage? Off the top of my head, we have: Fang Fang Prime Jaw Sword Heat Dagger Ceramic Dagger Pretty small compared to all of the melee weapons we have, but even worse, only one can be acquired in the market - The rest can only be found in alerts, or in the void in the case of Fang Prime. The point i'm trying to make is - Could we have a few more Puncture melee weapons in the game? The Scythes seem like a good contender to give a bit more Puncture damage.

Archistopheles Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah but.... Fang Prime is pretty amazing pre- Melee 2.0... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegisGrey Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I would love to see a puncture based heavy melee. Maybe a spear. Wouldn't work well with the current animations, maybe after melee 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechNexus Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Even after melee 2.0, we're still gonna be lacking in puncture melee options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronyn Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I think the kama type weapons should be puncture. I get why some would think slash but if you've ever seen how a kama actually enters a target its pretty clear that its as much puncture as anything. Also hoping we will get a spear at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hoping we will get a spear at some point Yeah, I think the Kamas and Scythes should be changed to do mostly puncture damage, or do even slash/puncture damage.

rapt0rman Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) The magistar seems like it would be 50/50 impact and puncture (or slash, but the idea is more puncture weapons). Also, I'd love some spiked knuckles ( furax/ankyros animations not kokage/obex) Edited February 13, 2014 by rapt0rman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronyn Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yeah, I think the Kamas and Scythes should be changed to do mostly puncture damage, or do even slash/puncture damage. Yes exactly. a combo of both puncture and slash makes the most sense.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm hoping for Spears personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xethier Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 kinda pointless to go into this until melee 2.0 is released and we have some idea of where they're going with it. but this is a very good point. at the very least it would be nice to actually have some of these available on the market.

MechNexus Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Not just spears, we need that Pile Driver from the melee contest. DE pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braken Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Not just spears, we need that Pile Driver from the melee contest. DE pls It's highly likely they will add it, but only after the 3 winners of the vote. They've been doing the same with some of the new frames.

XenosInfinity Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 A lance would be nice. Orthos is a good polearm but an actual medieval-style lance would be fantastic. Sweeping impact combos or a stabbing puncture-type lunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xethier Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 needs more morningstar. impact + piercing + whiplike movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarknightK Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 It's highly likely they will add it, but only after the 3 winners of the vote. They've been doing the same with some of the new frames. (Nekros, Zephyr) There were two Jet-Hammers featured in the melee contest, and whaddya know? Jat Kittag was released. Although I think the idea of a Jet Powered Hammer was already floating around before the contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taiiat Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Not just spears, we need that Pile Driver from the melee contest. i'm certainly hoping the Pile Bunker finds it's way in eventually. just as a tech test for me, i want to see it in action, it sounds like quite the spectacle. as for practicality, it's unlikely i'd use it much at all, it's totally not my type of Weapon. but i still want to see it in engine, for Tech reasons.

CaptainPeanut Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I'm still hoping for a halberd axe/lance. Would love it to have a mix of puncture and slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValhaHazred Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Although I think the idea of a Jet Powered Hammer was already floating around before the contest. Yeah they where working on Jat Kittag long before the contest. You can see concept art for it in the same livestream they showed Drakgoon, back when it was going to be Corpus. Kary said that's why they didn't choose it as a vote option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidinah Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hate's animations make me think it is a huge war pick. Should be piercing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
