FINNSTAR7 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I was kinda expecting either Boltace or Galatine so I'm not all that surprised. Boltace of course fits the the Bolt-theme, Galatine looks like the sword on the Arbiters' emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of people in the N/A East region were agreeing on Boltace because it fit the set. Maybe it could have been like Telos Dakra or something, might have made sense, it's a pretty swordy looking sword, their sigil Is a sword too. But what also makes plenty of sense is completing the Telos puncture weapon set. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateRiem Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 If Hexis HAS to go with Tonfas, it should be the Kronen. Kronen already has many skins, is more popular than the Boltace, looks better than the Boltace, and is slash based. You don't Prime or make a variant of the best weapon of a category because it just makes all the other weapons in said category look even worse in comparison. A syndicate kronen can be buffed to be a sidegrade to the Boltace without the need for power creep, but a syndicate Boltace will never be a sidegrade to the regular boltace, because it's already better than the Kronen by Default. Additionally, currently none of the syndicate weapons are slash based. The only reason the Boltace was chosen is because "Muh Boltor". The Hexis don't deserve such bad weapons just because their first was actually good (Akboltos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diana.K Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I don't know why everyone is so shocked tbh. It was the obvious choice given that the boltor and akbolto are already Hexis weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While being underplayed may have given some inspiration to selecting these weapons, it was far from a hard rule. The most important element behind selecting these weapons is the weapon itself fitting with each Syndicate's aesthetic. For example, the Red Veil's had to be Tenno-made, edgy, clandestine and look good in red, so they took the Dark Dagger. Steel Meridian's had to be Grineer-made and military, hence the Sydon. New Loka's had to be Tenno-made and ornate, so the Magistar. Suda's had to be Cephalon-made and inquisitive: a hammer may not be the most cerebral of weapons, but the Heliocor is Cephalon. What other melee weapon could Cephalon Suda have offered? I wouldn't be surprised if they made the vanilla Heliocor specifically to have a weapon to release a Syndicate version of (it would be kind of silly to have a Syndicate version of a weapon that doesn't exist). Players have been pushing for Syndicate melee for quite some time, no point keeping us waiting extra patches because there were no Cephalon melee weapons.

But isnt dark dagger redundant, since Red Veil already has a mod for the Dark Dagger, and lets be honest, the only reason a dagger is viable is thanks to Covert Lethality. And the problem with the Hiliocor is that it has just been released, its barely over a week old and its already getting a Syndicate version.

TheGodofWiFi Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) Complete lack of innovation with the Telos Boltace. I was hoping for them to put a weapon like Jaw Sword or Galatine in. Something that fits with their "space-samurai" theme. Pity. Edited August 7, 2016 by LorianTheElderPrince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
