Buff the cutlass

  • With the upcoming buff to all gun swap speeds giving them a 25% faster swap time, the sword will be left out to dry. I suggest bringing back a removed sword feature: Hitting the sword against the ground can cause it to combo. Why should I have to hit a player to be able to do a combo swing? If I want to waste a swing on the ground while I'm charging my opponent so I can hit him with the second and third swings when I'm finally in range, why can't I? This is a balanced feature because it requires you to look away from your opponent and wastes a swing or two from the combo, sacrificing damage for the ability to time hits. The second hit should still stun and the third hit should still have knockback. No other changes should be made to the sword aside from re-adding the ability for a sword to start a combo by hitting the ground.

  • @potatosord

    1/10 rage bait.

    With the direction the game seems to be going, you should be hoping they forget the sword exists completely.

  • @worst-tdmer Yea this seems like a response to a forum post I saw from a highly intelligent SoT player, maybe the smartest there is.

  • We got a Fort/SOT hybrid in the making here! More bang-bang less slash-slash.

  • The weapon swap with the sword will also be increaseed, just like that of the guns.
    Of course the sword can still quickswap, but since you hate exploits, im sure thats not what you ment.

  • @dermasterbob yes, exactly the post I’m talking about. Not sure where this guy got a nerf sword post from a smart person though, haven’t seen one around

  • No…just no the cutlass already is the best weapon in the game

  • @huibuh34 And we need to keep it that way. If they wanna buff guns swap times, they should buff the sword too to keep it OP. I joke, but on a more serious note, the sword is only as OP as it is because the game barely works. No one here denies how bad hitreg is. The sword would be a mid weapon if hitreg issues and gun jams weren't a thing.

  • We could get into what the sword does that was never intended and then nerf it…..

    The sword is THE most broken weapon in the game and people still demand it do more..

    What’s next? If at full health and regen it shoots laser swords like in the legend of Zelda?

  • On the same Forum page, we have two posts, posted within a couple of days:

    • Nerf the Cutlass, and...
    • Buff the Cutlass

    Perhaps the cutlass is pretty-well balanced as it is. :-)

  • @surveyorpete ya but @PotatoSord made this post after the other one was made by worst-tdm.

    Essentially it’d be me going and firing up a new post that goes against others.

    Like there is a ship curse post I could make a “don’t make ship curses” it’s fairly petty and yet here we are

  • Since OP has more or less admitted to this post being bait/troll, I am dropping anchor here.
