In Dust we know there's Nova knifes but what if there was swords made with the same tech for a farther reach in swing. |

If you can reach with a sword you can reach with a knife at that point and the extra reach makes no difference against an assault rifle. Only if you go against someone with a knife would it make a difference, but how often would that happen, except for $hits and giggles.
So it makes no sense. It would look cool though.
EDIT: Letting my imagination fly a little, I guess it could be an option if it had more damage than a knife but took a light weapon slot, kind of like an extreme short range shotgun. But it would be real hard to balance since it would have no ammo. It would need some kind of cool down. |

Course it makes sense, more range plus more swing = greater chance of hitting the target. |

We do not need MAG's 5' radial knife swing in this game. The close-quarters defense weapons are there for a reason; however, if a sword were implemented as a Light-Weapon slot item, I think it would be fair. This is because the increased blade size is going to create increased damage along with the range, so having it as a side-arm would make the nova knife worthless. I say give it a 1-hit kill swing (time between swings would be decreased with each level of the corresponding skill for the weapon), with the limited reach serving as the balance that makes it a risk as well. It would make for a great Black-Ops weapon for use with a dropsuit cloaking device, or some other stealthy tactics. |

Yeah the problem with the nova knives atm is that you literally have to be on top of someone to hit them, at which point they can easily shoot u or melee u back. So you can really only use them on someone who is not paying attention. More range would be nice, nova sword is a good idea. |
