Right to the point, dual wielding daggers would be cool and here’s how I think they could work.
Faster Swing
Less Damage than sword
Every other hit stuns target
Let me know if you like this idea and or what could be wrong with it. Or put what new weapons you think could be cool cause I’ve always wondered what other people thought about new weapons.
This actually sounds like a really fun idea. I think it should have a lunge similar to the sword as well. Obviously weaker, but two slices (arms both swing inwards and then back out). I think the cooldown should be roughly the same.
As for weapons I would add, I wanna see ways to weaponize the tools we're given. Let me dig traps for my foes, let me spike my enemy's grog! Let my chonky pirate crush other pirates when he does the sit emote on them!
@captainseahippo adding new ewapon just because "would be cool" is a little bit not enough for me.
Perhaps a "sword" model with different animation (double slash animations) but same timings and mechanic would be enough?
I have thought of something similar before and think a dagger would be cool as a hybrid range/melee weapon, you get 5 daggers as the "ammo" that you can throw at an enemy to put a slow debuff on them (daggers would be projectile based and would need to lead the throw and would generally be slower than bullets) and you would also be able to swing with the daggers at a shorter range than a sword with less damage but faster, this would hopefully be an okay counter to double gunning too with the slow effect you can theoretically hit them with a long range throw and sprint up to them to get some swings in.
@captainseahippo Yeah I think that a duel wielding dagger weapon to add more variety to melee combat'd be sick. For balancing I'd say we have the sword be the "Jack of all trades" weapon and have the dagger be a bit more specialized, so both weapons have their strengths and weaknesses.
I'd say both weapons would have the block and hit combo, but where they differ would be the daggers could have a longer combo (4-5 hits rather than the swords 3) and the daggers would have a different lunge attack entirely, similar to the basic skeletons swing move, you'd swing your daggers and do knock-back damage but stay put yourself, so the daggers strength would be their better combo, but weakness would be a less mobile charge attack.
