While we’re at it, what about adding explosive rounds to the Sweet Business...

Quickfang as a secondary would be waaay broken op

If guarding was more ammo efficient and better at reducing damage taken, then it'd probably be worth the power weapon slot. Even infinite guard swords feel pointless to guard with. Sword gameplay is already high risk as-is, at least in PvE(I don't play PvP in hero shooters like Destiny, so no opinion there.) Often times, there are even targets you simply cannot hit with a sword, which is already a disadvantage. They aren't like energy swords in halo with a super accurate, high speed, long distance lunge. The one supposed advantage of swords is they offer defensive value instead of just sheer offense, but it eats so much ammo to guard a boss's AoE stomp or anything similar to make it worth it. Better off just swinging wildly to do as much damage as possible and let your teammates pick you up. In addition to ammo consumption, guarding also takes too long to activate following attack animations, while having its own animation delay before taking effect. In the amount of time you swing->guard an attack effectively->swing again, a regular kinetic or energy weapon will have done the same damage by virtue of the pauses you have to take if you don't want to get thrown across the map. Sword targeting is also kind of odd. It's really easy to feel on weapons such as worldline's AoE, or Crown Splitter in general. Often times you will be facing forward, but when you attack, you will snap 90 degrees to hit the target to your right. For AoE/cleave attacks, there is no need for a sword to have such annoying snap targeting. Say I want to blitz through a bunch of enemies with worldline's AoE, but what often happens instead is that it just snaps to the target nearest me, ruining its potential and wasting ammo. Say I want to use Crown-Splitter's cleaving light swings effectively for clearing smaller enemies, but I can't always do that because it locks to one target. I still love swords more than any gun in the game for their more thrilling, high-risk gameplay they offer(sitting at a safe distance and clicking on heads bores me), but often times I find myself with my character's face in the dirt thinking "Well golly gee, if I were to use any other weapon right now, I'd probably still be alive."

At first I agreed with this. I kinda feel like they just need a small buff though. They should be able to block more without wasting as much amo in crucible. A small amo buff would be nice as well. Swords are a heavy competing against rockets, grenade launchers and linear fusion rifles. In crucible they don’t feel as strong as thy should be aside from the two exotics. As for pve people are sleeping on swords they’re not bad.

As long as they aren’t one hit kills. That’s all we need. More weapons for Garbo players to crutch and crouch with. 🤮

Only if weaker versions and and with no block function.

No.

I like this but no nerfs and it takes 2 green amo per swipe
