Are there any plans for bigger melee weapons like power swords, chain swords, power fists?
TL;DRThere are no current plans for large melee weapons like chainswords or power fists because they don't fit the current combat or loadout, but the team says never say never.
So we don't really have any plans at the moment. We've certainly got nothing set in stone. Right now, it doesn't really fit in with the combat that we're currently pushing for. Especially if we're talking about a military shooter, are you really going to want to run across a planet surface at someone with a sniper rifle with a giant chainsword? I mean, it sounds very fun, but it's not going to be very practical. So at the moment, it's not something that we're focusing on. Big weapons as well, they will be taking up a slot on your backpack. If you're talking about chainswords from Warhammer, they're absolutely massive. So if you're talking about using a big two-handed weapon, it's going to take up a lot of space on your loadout. It's going to be a bit unwieldy, and it just doesn't feel very Star Citizen. I mean, like you mentioned there, energy swords, you can go down that route as well, but we've just not found a space for them at the moment. But I think it's definitely a case of never say never. We never want to say we're never going to do these giant weapons, like giant thunder hammers or chainswords or anything like that. Super cool weapons, and stuff that might be really good for boarding, for example. But yeah, at the moment, no plans.
