Is it just me or do the special weapons suck?
Like seriously suck. I bought the season pass which gave me access to a bunch of new islands to explore. I went around and looted all the chests and all I got was a second rate bunch of weapons. I barely had to spend any money to do better. I found this was the same for a few of the weapons you unlock via collectibles and side missions. Seriously what is the point. I think the only good unlockable weapon is the pistol swords and even then thats matched by a weapon you can buy early on in the story ark

in my humble opinion the whole weapon system is a farce. its just pointless...
u start the game, go to armory and check what the best weapon is... then u save some cash and buy the best one. then all waeponstuff in the middle is just decoration.
this is for swords and pistol all the same.

they gotta work on this issue, really...

Hmm...sayign that though is there really much difference? I just thought it was a game where you press E to win. Didn't realise the weapon stats effected much

sadly true :/
it should and it can be an even better game with some effort on that aspect.

on the other hand... that would make the game much more like a shooter or else...
hard to define for DEVs if its rather good to put effective combat weapon for just going through the wall gamestyle or focus more on the stealthy blades and pipe thingy, which i enjoy alot^^

I completely agree.

Ubi is trying too hard to dumb down the combat system to please as many as possible. Back in the AC2 days each weapon provided a certain level of incentive for the players to give it a go and see how it'd perform in combat. It was one of the many things that made the franchise great.

The ever minimizing number of weapon types since AC3 is absolutely not a thing I would like to see.
