How difficult would it be to use a moveset from a Darktide weapon and put it in Verm 2?
Normally it should be no trouble but this is the company that apparently had a monolithic task porting maps from V1 to V2.

I’m posting my usual reply in that while YES greatsword is a fairly dull swing animation set it does not need desperately overhauling. It’s a great weapon at Legend+ and possibly needs a bit more damage vs armour and zerkers on the push/overhead but I think that’s it.

Prophecy has it that this game will only fade away if an entire year passes without at least two threads complaining about greatsword don’t drop on this forum. Thankfully, our fate has been secured… for now…
Anyway,
1H Axes, Mining Pick.
I think there’s enough greatsword enjoyers that it’ll probably never be changed.
On the flip side, they did tease a possible weapons dlc. Maybe there will be an alternative two-handed sword with a more dynamic move set. There are some Darktide weapons I feel could fit in Vermintide 2 if adapted.
The Dueling Sword as more of a Sabre as an alternative to the rapier and pistol on saltzpyre.
The Heavy Sword for Kruber and Saltzpyre as a sort of medieval Cutlass
The Tac Axe as a faster lighter war axe for Bardin, Saltzpyre or even Kruber.
Some of the two handers you showed could even be adapted for Sienna to have a flaming greatsword or as alternatives for Saltzpyre and Kruber.
Also, one of the refreshing things about Darktide is that there are variants of each weapon which have different special attacks, slightly different combos, and stats. It adds a lot of flavor and things to experiment with even if in some cases, many of the variants are less favorable.
If they were able to bring something like that to Vermintide 2, we could have something like the Middenlander Greatsword, the Nordheimer Greatsword, the Reikland Greatsword, the Stirland Greatsword, and some could provide more unique variants of the moveset and stats.
Might as well make a whole new weapon instead of removing its existing moveset.

The fact it has next to no AP damage is a massive oversight. It should have a special attack where you can flip it around and use the hilt to bash enemies in (and we know they have the animation for it because it’s one of the ending poses for kruber). With the amount of elite and special spam the devs are intent on allowing it’s just been powercreeped out of existence at this point and there are just better options that do its job and then some
the thing is they DID make other weapons that are essentially the greatsword but better. The bret longsword, executioner’s sword, falchion, and mace all do what the greatsword does but with the added benefit of AP damage while still being able to clear out crowds. We don’t need more weapons to powercreep out the greatsword even more they just need to rework it into a better state. We have the movesets already so it’s not like it’d be hard for them to just copy and paste and then give it more AP damage.
Greatsword is already good numbers-wise and is a legit top tier weapon with atk speed boosts. The weapon was buffed like 20 months ago and it definitely doesn’t need more.
