Ok so I thinking to myself last night What could make SK better?

So I started with new types of weapons and/or Upgraded weapons.

I started with the sword and I thought about having Dual-Swords , One Defensive (Replace the Shield) and one offensive.

And Then the Handgun , I was thinking about having a Handgun , Sub-Machine gun , and finally a regular Machine gun (With both hands and no shield)

And Finally the Last Weapon , The Bomb.
I really thought hard about this. What could make a bomb better ?

I could'nt come up with anything . Although If I do , I'll post it here :)

I'm just suggestion it! I did'nt even know about some other guy who already suggested it!
Either way Autogun is still considered a handgun.

Besides , Three Rings is the person to make judgement of my answer anyway.

The existing firearms in SK

The existing firearms in SK can be quite neatly divided into SMGs (the Autogun line) and semi-auto handguns (pretty much everything else). So the only new suggestion you're making there is a larger, presumably more powerful Autogun that costs players use of their shield? No thanks.

Dual-wielding comes up all the time (seriously folks, there's a Search bar right there, right next to the login link) and the general consensus is that shield usage is far too important to SK's combat to be replaced or removed. Deal with it.

The only way Dual wielding

The only way Dual wielding could be implemented is probably similar to the Nightblade. Out of all the brandish swords, that's the only one carrying a "saya" ,Scabbard, or sheath. It's not something extra, but you carry anyway. So you'd then have a sword in each hand, but that'd simply be a graphical effect with a certain string of combos, they aren't going to implement having you control a weapon in your left hand instead of a shield since as stated shielding is too important (Even as a gunner I shield all the time!) and it'd be a pain in the butt for the user to use.

So instead, you'd be left with a weapon that does a 3 to 5 hit combo like every other sword in the game, but it looks fancy because of holding two weapons, or acts faster.

If you want something other then a shield in your left hand, then just get a Nightblade, disable you're shield and you'll be all set.

As for submachine guns, if they patched the Autogun series to let you move a little considering you already move at a slow speed when shooting..And maybe if those guns weren't useless on the kinda monsters you'd want to use them on then that would be nice.

@Effrul

That's the point of a machine gun , To keep enemies back and do a large amount of damage.
And of course to make things fair , you're going to have to take off your sheild , and besides , you would still be able to change weapons right?

And the Dual Swords thing , i'm sorry if i'm too lazy to look anything up.

Really think about what you're suggesting

1) OOO never really acknowledges whether or not they've read a suggestion.

2) As Effrul said "the general consensus is that shield usage is far too important to SK's combat to be replaced or removed."

3) The only way this sort of suggestion might be viable, is if the weapons that took away your shield did massive damage, were very quick, and had lots of knockback/interrupt, which would almost certainly do terrible things to game balance.

4) go read some of the other similar threads
