Does Empress do anything special?

[Jennay]

Someone was trying to tell me that Empress is a super rare drop, and I have it. Doesn't seem that it does anything, because being a skin. I've been told it's got a secret tier 3 bleed effect, but I can't find info on this anywhere. Anyone know?

Yeah I don't get it either.

I mean I like the panga machete design over most others. But the empress blueprint does not seem to do much of anything, hell it actually seems to lower the weapons durability(blueprint seems to be set at 37 durability). If anyone has an answer, i would love to hear it.

It's not super rare drop, it's part of content drops and everyone has it. As long as game is updated you'll get it. It does nothing special from what I know, just a reskin.

I think it just swings a bit faster, at least from what I noticed

Empress is a blueprint that you can apply over any edged machete like one handed weapon. It alters its appearance to a unique look that is not found on any other weapon normally dropped in the game, but in terms of functionality, it behaves exactly the same as any other machete.

It's just a weapon skin that can be applied to any machete, and doesn't do anything else. It won't increase any weapon stat, and it'll actually lower the Durability if applied to a Skull machete.

It can also be applied to "Tahir's Weapon", (which is a machete), and I wondered if it did anything special then, but it doesn't. Change's the skin, but doesn't change the stats at all.

The odd thing about the blueprint is that it's the first blueprint that can be applied to a weapon not previously obtainable in the game, Rais' Machete. If Techland provided a way to actually get Rais' Machete in the game, I haven't noticed anyone describing how yet.

It's basically a free repair for a broken down machete.

actually i believe it raises the value of the machetes i used it on the arena machete and now its worth 7.2k

Empress Can be made then you can use another blueprint on it to upgrade it again so it's the only weapon that can take a second blueprint
