daSweep Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 We got the glaive + sidearm dual wielding a long time ago, but the proper melee + sidearm is still nowhere in sight. I know the glaive + sidearm is powerful and very viable, but it's not at all what I personally wanted with this mechanic. When will we get more information about this?

GekkoKid Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Personally i'd like to see sword'n board + sidearm dual wielding like a grineer lancer with high frontal damage reduction and shieldbashing while aiming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serafinia Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It is in somewhere else. At moment we don't know if it is scrapped or just delayed like many others hinted / promised things. For example - Shield gating, Kingpin, Weakspots, Dual wield, Grenades, Ship control, Dark sectors (it is going on now), @ZephyrPrime, more sentinel.

Carnage2K4 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Mmmmm option for secondary to equip shield... Axe and Shield, Sword and Shield, Sword and Pistol... I say you go Skyrim on this game, Option to change Melee and secondary in to left hand right hand allowing the weapons that can fall into that category be tossed onto left or right in any config of the players choice...

White_Matter Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I see no benefit of that, unless there is a viable way of implementing the side arm into melee combos. It is just cosmetic, and no one cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daSweep Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 I just don't see the point of dual wielding with a glaive. It's mainly used for its throw, but just using the gun in your other hand is easier and more reliable (don't have to time for a power throw). If you could have another melee in the other hand that also has the full comboset for the weapon, with the added benefit of also being able to fire your gun in your other hand sounds great.

(XBOX)TJC569 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Or...and hear me out on this one. DE could let us Dual Wield Braton Primes. Or Soma Primes for a Rambo feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)ThermalStone Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Dual wielding was an answer to a question no one was asking. I bet most players are like me and have never even tried this feature or forgotten it exists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 The dual wielding + glaive thing is just a nice callback to DarkSector and Hayden Tenno's glaive throwing. That's pretty much it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clem2-TheClemening Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 We really need more reasons to use single-handed sidearms and melees over the fire-rate of dual sidearms and range of large melees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othergrunty Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 vor 3 Stunden schrieb Hypernaut1: What advantages does it give? We can already quick melee Visual fluff. It's all about the style a player wants to experience with their player character. Same reason we get guns with pump action or lever action animations even though the game handles them just as semi-auto weapons. Or the ton of different melee weapons and their seperated stances. vor 9 Stunden schrieb Jivy: forgotten? scrapped? who knows Unlikely to be scrapped. The most likely reason being put on hold because other things demanded their attention more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)robotwars7 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 it's on the backburner as far as i know. DE have been focusing on PoE as much as possible, and will continue to do so it seems. I'm not holding my breath for more dual wielding any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there is still busy with patching with certain aspects of the game. No need to fret, they will catch up soon.

daSweep Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 "Dual wield" is such a weird name for it though. Should be called "Gun and Blade" or something (it's even fluffy) instead. IN either case, I don't think it's just for feel, or for the fluff. I genuinely believe that this is a great addition to the gameplay. Like I said before, you should get the full combo for the melee, with the addition of having a long range (or short, depening on the weapon) support in the form of your secondary. This would cut down on the heavy usage of two handed weapons as well as dual secondaries, and give single melee and secondaries more reason to be used.
