personally, i love sweeping attacks but hate all the others. i also love axes as weapons in media, but we don’t have any of those in DT, only strikedown and assassins. how about making some duel axes with vanguard lights? simply to make an axe for people with a horde clear play style.

A 2-Handed Chainaxe based on Bardin’s Greataxe would also be pretty awesome.

As long as they’re very heavy and slow. OP zippy zealots don’t deserve to dart about and clear hordes like an Ogryn.

I think that a LOT of Dual Wields from Vermintide 2 would work well in Darktide, actually.
Axe and Falchion = Tac Axe and Heavy Sword.
Mace and Sword could be done on both Ogryns and Humans, simply using different Weapon combos to differentiate both variants from one another.
Example:
Human: Shock Maul and Catachan Sword? 
Ogryn: Bully Club and Cleaver?

I’ve given up on dual wield but I still want polearms, we already have many stabbing attacks which FS seem to favor as the strongest single target attacks and we’ve gotten a taste of 2 handed weapons now, so it’s only a matter of time.

Darktide absolutely NEEDS some Polearms. Polearms are easily my favourite type of Melee Weapon.
Veteran’s the only Archetype without any 2-Handed Weapons, so I’m hoping that they move to fill that void with the promised “2025 Veteran Weapons” VERY soon.
Fingers crossed for a Spear of some kind. 
But please, Fatshark, do remember to drop a new Force Staff or multiple for Psyker… we’re hungry…
Two handed greataxes for ogryns with sweep light attacks, and strike heavy attack pattern. And movement/attack speed and dodge distance buff. And need some talent rework to make light attacks useful.

I’d probably main that, actually.
there are MANY things i wish we had… solo and half decent AI being top of that list. so i wouldn’t hold breath on fatshark. clear they no longer care and pulling an activision on this franchise now.
Somebody’s already got his own axe to grind.

lol yep and i just need the heads to start rolling.
Tactical axe 2 (brutal momentum+headtaker) has fast sweeping push and heavy attacks that can kill multiple horde enemies and small elites with each swing. Light attacks have high single target damage while also being pretty good agaisnt hordes. Better version of Bardin’s great axe.
You have a spear it’s just called the Hellbore.
Also for those saying the dual wield stuff, like in VT2 combining would work with a pair of subpar weapons (heavy/devil swords, any axe) since it made the trash tier weapons in that game up to a meh tier when they had both of their strengths.
Ew. Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew.
I meant a real one that we can, like, block and push with.
