Melee weapons

    I'm sure most people will hate this idea since these weapons are not pirate weapons but i think a new set of melee weapons would benefit Sea Of Thieves.

    EACH WEAPON COULD HAVE ITS OWN QUEST LINE TO ADD EVEN MORE CONTENT!!!!

    Each of these could be modded to be more effective against a certain type of skelly. Of course all would be effective against reg skellys.

    Spear/Halberd:
    1st left click: forward thrust to chest
    2nd left click: forward thrust to legs
    3rd left click: forward thrust to head

    Special attack is a sweeping hit
    If used after the 1st left click, then a leg sweep will be performed. (works on reg skellys and plant skellys)
    If used after the 2nd left click, then a head sweep
    will be performed. (reg and golden skellys)

    Claymore has a powerful side attack that pushed mobs either left or right. (like the spear/halberd the special attack would be directional depending on when you put it in the attack rotation. Useful for positioning or putting skellys in or out of water.

    Katana has the lunge. (Beginning sword has no special)

    Hammer has a shockwave knock down.

    Dual swords have an AOE spin attack.

    Some of these may seem over-powered and in that case either make the skellys stronger or just send more of them our way.

    @shojua-c-ryemes

    Some might be OP but make skellys stronger.
    These special new weapons with special attack would only be useable in that certain voyage? Or free 2 use everywhere?

    If free 2 use everywhere than NO.
    U state all ready some are Overpowered and to fix this your solution is make stronger skellies. This has 2 flaws in my opinion.

    1. Stronger Skellies, Athena skellies are hard enough. I dont mind stronger skellies but it would be ridicilous for the beginning players.
    2. The weapon is overpowered and stronger skellies fix that. Oke maybe for PvE but what if u use this overpowered weapon in PvP? Will my enemies gain more HP and thus stronger because i use overpowered weapon? Or is my weapon just overpowered 1 hit wonders and takes out whole crews? Bit unfair?

    I cant see how this will become balanced.

    A harpoon or an axe i can imagine, but would be used lime the Cutlass with no Extras.

    There's very little reason to aim for specific body parts in this game at all- a Pirate who you stub their toe with the Cutlass receives as much damage as one with a slash to the nose!
