CB-Charged Blade no skill?

[Atticus Batman]

Know what you mean. I got a killer BA Sniper I use for shadow war, has huge clip so I don't even need to reload. Took out 18 players yesterday without reloading or moving. Snipers can be very deadly with the right perks.

And a fast reload bolt action can be a great thing in a pinch!

Adding anything is just asking for more game crashes from these idiots...

I would love for the blades to have their own weapon skill and mods and bonuses! That would be awesome.

It would cause massive server issues since they can barely track arkfall kill counts...

Oh I totally thought you were making a pvp joke xDDD

But they hopefully will add to charge blades after dlc =)

Well that's just upsetting.

It changed. Here is Trick's response about it.

Though, obviously, damage is the stat everyone watches, we may rejigger things a bit to make the rarity be a more obvious measure of damage. That’s certainly on the table and has both champions and detractors in the studio. Charge blades do not currently have their own weapon skill. We experimented with it, found there to be some aberrations in the system when applied to a weapon with so few stats, and decided to put the skill on hold until we could make it more rewarding. The charge blades do not have rolls, they just improve with rarity. Since they have so many fewer stats compared to our ranged weapons, rolls would just get silly. The same is true for the mods. They just affect color at present. We’ve been working on systems to add more nuance not just to the charge blades but to all damage types, but that system is still in development. Once it is out, we will be able to release either the skill or mods or both. Golden skitterlings can drop purple gear, and some other special event enemies may as well, but we are purposefully leaving that as a mystery for players to discover. So... Good hunting.
