Hive swords as equippable weapons
How come Hive swords can only be equipped for a certain amount of time? I'd really like there to be an exotic sword maybe that is Hive styled

3 RepliesI can offer a lore answer, not a gameplay one. Hive swords are made form centuries of genocide, butchery, and darkness. Despite them looking rusted and like giant cleavers, they’re incredibly powerful. Now, these swords are only usable by Hive, to prevent other creatures (like us) from using their power against others. But come us. Guardians light allows them to wield these blades for a short time, with even more power than before. Light infused blades cause much more devastation. But at the same time, it causes the sword to become unstable. That’s why we are able to wield them for a limited time from a lore perspective. Our light causes the swords to become Emma Watson.

Id rather have my exotic swords back from D1

Genuine answer - If you have such a sword equipped for too long it will 'change' you, so there is a Lore link to the reason (imo). Some lore buff in here will probably know where that is suggested in Grimoire, I'm fairly sure I've read it somewhere and it seems [i]logical[/i]. [spoiler]see what I did there, hive-based sword logic pun[/spoiler]

Try D1 out, not knocking D2 but if you never played D1 def go buy it and give it a try!!!

Id like my taken sword back too.

Oh my god I have been thinking the same thing for so long

2 RepliesMaybe some lore behind that. I think it would be awesome to have a hive or taken themed exotic sword.

Weapons of sorrow style 🤔

2 RepliesJust stopping by to say when i scrolled past your post I thought it said 'edible weapons' That's all, goodbye [spoiler]oh also i love Variks[/spoiler]

Would rather have one a dem fallen captain scorch cannons.

3 RepliesHm. Wouldn't fit the lore I guess because it's a weapon of darkness and Sword Logic. But I want it. Hell we use em for about a minute at a time anyway. Maybe it's perk is something like Polaris Lance or Rampage, where getting kills with it makes it do more and more damage because of Sword logic. Then the second you switch to a gun, Sword Logic leaves. Call it "Bane of Gods".

1 ReplyWe used to have a Taken Hive sword, but Bungie didn’t want us to keep anything from D1.

Game mechanics?

3 RepliesEdited by Sky: 7/24/2018 5:12:05 AMAn exotic hive themed sword would be pretty cool. Only if it kept the lunge and such that the hive sword has. Oh I can hear the crucibabies now...

9 RepliesBecause the Worm Gods did not grant you that power. Once you grab it if it’s not filled with the blood of your enemies it disintegrates and disappears. Since the “blood of your enemies” are Vex, Cabal, Humans, Exos, Awoken, Fallen, Etc. it doesn’t work as it should when killing Hive whom are allies to the Sword.

Edited by ClovenTrack620: 7/23/2018 11:49:21 AMthe sword of crota or Oryx's sword from D1's campaign, or maybe even the axe of Alakul 👿
-
I'd take it. Throw in a Taken ornament and some other ornamental surprise we wouldn't be expecting.
-
Sword of Crota exotic
-
Agreed.
-
I would love this.
