can we have sabers?

[BoratTheHorseEater]

can we have sabers? I have seen the sabers being used in trainings but why not in the battle field

[Parboleum Loyce]

the saber is only available on the proving grounds because it's a challenge modifier, not a weapon you should want to bring.

while i do like the idea of having sabers be an actual selectable primary weapon (same as wanting the double barrel shotgun in 2 to be a strategem), i do think it's probably for the best it isn't - so many people would ruin public matches by having a truly useless loadout using the saber lol

Would be nice to have it as a perk though. Increasing melee damage to insane levels (not oneshotting a tank or anything, but maybe 2-hitting a mech), and adding the saber animation to it, to make it worth it.

Revolver in one hand + sabre in other combo...

Yeah something like that could easily be worked in. Would never be done in HD1 though. Focus is on the second game right now.

Bob: Ok, guys let's go hell dive!
Johnny: Yeah!
Mandy: LET'S DO THIS!
Bob: No, Darth you can't bring sabers
Darth: *heavy breathing*
Bob: I know you like sabers but that's only for training
Darth: *heavy breathing*
Bob: For the last time Darth, no sabers and that's final.

*Therapist session of Darth Vader in Ministry of Truth scene*
Darth: *Heavy breathing*
Therapist: So you are having trouble coping with not having your saber you say...
Therapist: I'm sorry but you have to cope with your problems Darth...
Therapist: Here, I'll prescribe you with some liber-tea so you can calm down

Wanted to continue this joke, but you went far enough that all I could think of is Darth ending the therapist with a force-choke, and I couldnt make it funny.

I'm disappointed with myself here. I'd go see my therapist, but Darth Vader killed him about an hour or so ago.

I want dear devs to make a small one update for sabers...

[Aiden Araneo]

I dunno why anyone think that anyone would "ruin" public games with "useless" loadouts. Long time ago people was so scared about people with cardio-screenpulling habits. I'm still uneasy with trident/breaker & rumbler enthustiast... And what? I'm still pissed at devs for making vehicles use & forget kind of deal cause of the "worry" it could take the game over... So vets laughing at me when I drive tank (I don't know why I just can't have some fun) and barely anyone use any of the vehicles... Meanwhile boots are "mandatory" on snow planets while being dlc. Saber as a perk to replace sidearm would look cool (but also makes "strong arm" not increasing melee damage since it's a perk too) and makes sense (at least for me), and if anyone is still ruin any game, be it trident, cardio or weird behavior... You know, kick button was created for a reason...

Besides, I never saw group of helldivers charging at enemy with bayonets. Would be cool to watch. Or even one diver. Except me, but it's hard to do so with rest of the team so eager to shoot. Any "wannabe jedi" would just not make it, trust me.

Sabers are a primary weapon though, not a secondary.

They are... And they are not at the same time, since devs didn't let them out. If you seeing no problem with having it's on the back witcher style, not by the side, then fine, I just think it would be better as sidearm... If it would ever be introduced...

Don't get me wrong, if it could come out as primary, it's good enough in my book, I was just pointing the aesthetics.

You didn't try hard enough.

Therapist: How many sugars, Darth?
Darth: *heavy breathing, staring forlornly as the Therapist stirs the cup with a tea spoon*
Darth: *heavy breathing, as the camera cuts between increasing labored breaths, the 'tink-tink' of the spoon tapping against the cup as it stirs, and flashbacks of saber combat*

*cut to Darth going home on the subway*
Darth: *heavy breathing, as the camera cuts between an old man sitting with a cane, Darth Vader sitting on the opposite seat of the train, and the camera cutting back and the old man's cane replaced by a saber*

*cut to Darth standing at the exit of the subway station in the rain*
Darth: *heavy breathing, as the camera pans out from a close up of his face, to see people walking past him with sabers held up instead of umbrellas*

*cut to Darth sitting on an evening chair in front of the fireplace at home*
Darth: *heavy breathing, as the camera cuts between a gradually zoom into his face and a zoom out from the fire crackling in the fireplace, eventually revealing a pair of crossed sabres sitting on top of the mantle*

LOL, we should add a part where Darth's obsession of sabers is because of not being able to move on in life and his trauma of not being able to defend the Deathstar as well as having a dysfunctional family with Luke not visiting or calling him. xD
