Syndicate Melee Weapon Ideas (kinda)

[Hayabusa97]

It's about time the syndicates had melee weapons since they already have an MR6 secondary and and MR12 primary. For the Melee weapons, they will be MR3 and I'm gonna try to keep them consistent with their weapon themes. Also, I'm gonna need someone to draw these because I have no digital art programs. Also, I'm not gonna mention the weapons' polarities or Finisher damage. Feel free to come up with your own ideas and stats for these (I'm not the best at making them)

That basically sums up my ideas, even if they aren't the best ideas and I kinda had to make up some ideas. I kinda want to see everyone else's ideas and statistics for the weapons (considering I more or less made them straight upgrades to their older counterparts). I dunno how often this topic comes up since I'm not on these forums very often.

Karyst edit

I feel Vaykor Jat Kittag seems a tad more likely than the Cleavers.

Though aside from that can't argue with anything else.

Secura Serro with 9.215 AS ?

Slightly faster than the original (9.17) but I'll bump it up a bit more.

Original one has 0.917 AS not 9.17 AS buddy , did you even imagine 9.17 AS :D ?!

Fixed it (I need to stop making lists when I'm tired)

I would love the syndicate Tipedo

 

As for steel meridian...

 

Not the dual cleavers they already have an augment AND we also already have 2 dual cleaver variants. Also the prisma dual cleavers could end up being better than the vaykor ones. I feel like jat kitty fits best because:

 

1:Steel symbolizes justice, and Jat Kittag is a hammer and hammers look like gavels in a court

2: Their proc is a blast proc so why not an explosive melee? Also steels syndicate bomb opens enemies to finishers and hammers have bonus finisher damage. Synergy

3. Bailiff defectors wield them

4. Steel meridian loves Hard hitting weaponry (Hek and marelok) so it fits their theme of brute force

5. It would be a very versatile loadout. Marelok for sniping, Hek for taking out heavys in close quarters, and Jat for Crowd control

6. It doesn't have an alternate variant yet

 

It must happen. It would be so great

[Cashbag]

Also telos boltace shouldn't be a status weapon. Would you really use an IPS (Especially Puncture) based status weapon? Its the worst physical status in the game

That sounds like a fair point, so I'll make a separate entry for a Vaykor Jat Kittag in the SM category

TBF I never understood why they never made the Boltace a crit weapon instead of a status weapon (other than to keep the Boltor theme of high damage and status at the cost of crits and because the Soma series already has the deadly crits) or why they made Puncture procs so wimpy (30% less damage doesn't make much of a difference)

I'm loving the vaykor jat kittag's stats as it will finally compete with War. Also War is a heavy melee (which have faster animations than hammers) and has access to Tempo Royale (which also brings great multipliers) so it's pretty balanced that the jat will have better stats

I wish I knew how to draw (or use Blender) so I can make drawings of what these all will look like. But I'm at the state where I'm looking at the Blender manual cus I don't know how it works (just downloaded it less than an hour ago

[Rehtael7]

So I'm guessing the Vaykor Cleavers can't use the cleaver mod. Not sure I like that very much. We already have prisma cleavers, so I don't see the point.

Vaykor makes sense.

I want you to know that it's strange for melee weapons to exceed 25% status or crit.

Why not Synoid Prova? Say that Suda found out what's up with Prodman's Prova.

Sancti Tipedo? Ew. Tipedo has always been mysteriously overrated. Why not Sancti Redeemer?

I can add the Sancti Redeemer, but the Synoid melee weapon is only a placeholder until we get a Cephalon melee weapon (likely a knife where you stab someone and you get all their data). Also I am aware that Justice Blades won't work, so I made it do twice the base damage of the standard (max rank Justice Blades gives you 100%+ damage, or 2x damage)

Cephalon Cordylon has expressed interest in obtaining Prodman's Prova for further examination. (I'm not kidding.)

[Anaphaxaton]

Imo the buff of a Telos Boltace ought to be pure slide attack damage with a pinch of attack speed. Otherwise I'd approve everything except the plasma sword.

Made the edit, though the reason I didn't purely go with slide attack damage is because one can't constantly rely on it all the time even if it does stupid amounts of damage.

You're right, but at the same time I feel that in a way the point of most weapons in game that have the very highest of anything is just that.

Just a suggestion

Why dont the base toxin buffed around 70 or 75 and the proc chance should be 25% for a better chance?

The syndicate melee wepons need to requiere MASTERY 18 !!!

Wad? That's too high just for a syndicate melee weapon

First, secondary wepons are MR6, srimary wepons are MR12, and they probably work by tier of 6 ranks.
So, 6 > 6+6=12 > 12+6=18.

Next, MELEE wepon are usally better that all primary and secondary. You can't OS a lvl 135 eximus corrupted bombard with your syndicate primary wepon, but you can with a lot of melee wepons, and not necessarily with the highest tier. Melee wepons have a really high unexploited potential.

And finaly, DE always give us more powerful wepons and I think they will not desapoint us with bad syndicate wepons.

If the DE place the weapon on MR 18 , it would be the highest weapon with MR requirement
