If the sword is that strong, why don't u use a sword as well?

@valor-omega Imo that happens because there are not many games out there that can balance pvepvp the way SOT does.

@metal-ravage It's always astounded me that people expect this game to operate like other, hard-core FPS titles and thus needs to be balanced as such.

Every week in these forums there is someone that asks to nerf this or op that and this will go on forever because it is impossible to satisfy everyone...

The sword is fine as it is. Learn to use it or learn to counter it, the game doesn't have to change to accommodate you!

Sounds like a skill issue to me

Nah, sword is already the least powerful weapon as-is, in the gun-dominated meta that we have.

It be needin' diminishin' returns from all sources

@rocksinclair your mistake was double gunning. You know sword counters itself right? 🤓

@rocksinclair and I don't even use sniper pistol for boards anymore I started using blunder snipe bc of this 😭 😭 😭

@jamelcompany please😭 😭 😭 😭 😭 sword vortex is unreal on brig hg cant even make it past 1st cannon before they suck me in and call me trash for dying to W+M1 combo

@ewokbuilder
Agreed my friend

@jamelcompany Truth nuke!!!!!!!

Been saying this since the removal of quick swap, the stun is extremely unnecessary.

@burnbacon said in sword needs a nerf:

Meanwhile..Swords can be countered by any means, if your playing CQC with guns, your gonna be having little difficulty.
Might suggest, distance? Blunderbombs, Fire, BlowPipe, Kegs? Swords cant do much about those, and even DGing.

All Im asking if players learn and adapt instead blaming a simple weapon, other wise....
I dont like the fact people can two tap you with DGing from far away distance with barely any counter play. But here we are.

How dare you suggest an actual unique weapon (blowpipe) in PvP?😡

That was sarcasm, but seriously sword needs to be buffed if anything. It’s practically impossible to board via grapple gun if you use a sword with it (the primary weapon grapple was designed for)
