It has a charged attack…… the sword lunge, you don’t have to block to do it…..

So add another ability to the already broken weapon…..

Can I use the blunderbuss to help me jump higher also if I could use it to go backwards faster in the water. Also I’d like a slug for longer reach and dragons breath for more damage.

@potatosord ngl I totally forgot about that, but that also does benefit the sword since iirc it's unaffected by swap times in the first place. It's a tough line to draw between sneezing on someone with a blunderbomb while keeping it's damage similar. Maybe much faster for like 45 instead

@huibuh34 "If you miss you can switch to your sniper" and do what? 70 damage? You missed your sword slash, and switched weapons. You are looking at bare minimum 4-6 seconds where all you have done in terms of damage is 70, meanwhile they could have double gunned you 2-3 times over. Your idea makes no sense, and switching weapons after missing a sword attack also makes no sense. Guns and swords have different purposes.

@potatosord
Dont act like you can‘t also switch weapons with the sword. So if you miss your sword slash you can switch to sniper and snipe him. I think this is a good idea bc it will finally make the sword a skill weapon and not a no skill spam weapon. And you actually have to time you swordslash.

What would be the point? 1.2 seconds? The new weapon switch time is going to be 1 second flat. Your rework would make it literally impossible to even get a single hit on an experienced double gunner. They would be able to hit you, swap weapons, and hit you again, before your attack even gets a chance to do damage.

@burnbacon
Reload animation?

Then the guns would need a "charge" attack.
