Darktide's Melee Weapon Design has Failed

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback
46

I have a completely crazy idea that popped into my head this morning.

  1. Ditch the power cycler blessing
  2. Revert charged swings to 2
  3. Display graphics and visual and audio feedback as if the power sword is always on
  4. Make no stats changes at all.

Hear me out. The power sword feels boring and unfluffy to use but if I play with it from a PURE GAMEPLAY perspective, even in its current state, its a perfectly good weapon. Even a great weapon. So just change the look and feel of normal swings and it’ll immediately feel cool.

The old MP44 vs Thompson problem.
