I know how you can add new weapons!

How about if you try this: For each reskin, replace it with an entirely new weapon. Then we'll never need any more weapons again!

For example, Normal shard bombs work like the old shard bombs, freeze brandish becomes a freeze whip, plauge needle becomes sniper rifle, etc.etc.etc. (Note: These are just examples. I am NOT saying normal shards have to be oRSS or your Glacius will become a whip.)

The problem is that there are only 7 unique guns, 9 unique swords (counting FoV), and 6 unique bombs (8 if you're being fair). At the end of the day, I actually have a lot less choices than it seems.

You are pretty much asking OOO to make new weapons from scratch, which is what's happening now. You can't just ask them to make things up out of thin air, it takes time to come up with new models and such. And things like Glacius and the shard bombs are not reskins, they all are different even if only slightly. A reskin is something like Scissors Blades or the chef cleavers; weapons that function in the EXACT same way as another weapon, but with a different look.

Alternatively, if you mean just to change the look of all these weapons without changing functionality, then that wouldn't bring anything new to the game. It would just be a reskin, which is what everyone hates.

You realise there's a giant gunner update coming up, right? And as Reeve said, those weapons are not reskins. The function differently from weapons from the same line (NOTE: I'm not saying they function differently from the 'original').

9 unique swords, 7 unique guns, and 8 unique bombs? That seems pretty damn reasonable to me. In fact, that's A LOT of choices.

Derp.

Let's see.

7 + 9 + 6 = 22

22 choices for 1st weapon slot

21 choices for 2nd weapon slot

20 choices for 3rd weapon slot

19 choices for 4th weapon slot

(Note: Assuming the choices are unique ones, and not just different status effects or stuff, which can still seriously impact gameplay)

22 x 21 = 462 possibilities. And that's not factoring in multiple weapon slots. If we did:

22 x 21 x 20 x 19 = 175560 possibilities. And that doesn't include the two other bombs, or status effects.

Not much variety, you say?

Actually.

Technically Sandwich, it would be 175496 possibilities. God, we're so limited.

You are experiencing a PICNIC ERROR!

@Masterreeve

So, Obsidian weapons are unique, eh?

@Dibsville

I've heard that the update is full of more reskins. I'm hopefully wrong, but if that's the case...

@Sandwich-Potato

Okay....I didn't look at it that way. But I'm just saying...

Wait a second, in a game like this, I suppose it's difficult to come up with unique things. *sighs*

You've knocked down my point, but still....sometimes I just wonder......nvm.

Not unique, per se. But they are not re-skins, they do serve a different purpose than the original weapon.

That depends on how you look at it actually... :P
