Idea: Special Ammo Swords

Just like bows, swords are undoubtedly fun to use and a cool concept in a world dominated by guns. Currently I think swords are a underused archetype of weapon because they are all locked in the power/heavy slot. Im not saying to throw all swords into the special slot (thats an idea though), but maybe introduce new swords that take special ammo. Similar to how some grenade launchers take this ammo. Personally I hope the new Season brings a new pinnacle weapon in the form of a special ammo sword. (Fingers crossed for kinetic AND energy) A special ammo sword could have so much potential in Destiny. If Jotunn, grenade launchers, and shotguns can all deliver one hit kills in crucible (with range), then a sword would fit in, without breaking the meta, because their weakness is being up to the enemy In PvE, this could make swords much more accesible, thus more used. There can even be perks similar to TrenchBarrel (activated on the first swing, and working for the next 2-3, so the damage is staggered) . A perk like that would still make it viable for taking out orange bar enemies. As long as damage increasing perks are limited, considering dps, special ammo swords would have a lot of potential AND shake up the gameplay.

  • It should be a rapier so you have to lunge at people to stab them

  • I have a friend I play with who says the exact same thing! And I agree! Swords should be special weapons! They are very underwhelming heavys and in a world where shotguns exist as specials, it’s only fair that swords get turned to specials.

  • I've wanted a sword with about 10 hits on it at a time, but it regenerates over time. Unlimited ammo but still limited. Whether it's primary or special dosent really matter.
