Heavy Sword and Combat Axe special

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Gameplay Feedback

I feel these 2 weapons specials really need to be buffed

I’ve been trying them both in Auric and Havoc alike, but their special attack are just, very clunky and bad

For the Heavy Sword, 10% Brittleness feels like nothing, seriously nothing, I think it should be buffed to 25% with how long the special takes to hit

On the other hand for Combat Axe, considering the weird angle it has I think it should also apply brittleness on hit just like Heavy Sword (ideally 25% like the proposed buff), or alternatively just speed up the animation by a considerable amount

These changes alone would make these 2 feel a lot better

I was so happy when they buffed the heavy sword but then I figured out that you can’t stack the 10% brittleness. It’s definitely an improvement but it still needs some love.

As for the axe, the uppercut is indeed bad, as you rely on landing weakspot hits, which is hard with a delayed uppercut and even if you hit it, it’s not as good as the tactical axes special which can even stagger mutants out of their charge.
