Okay ever since the major weapon update in Year 2, where shotguns and snipers found a home in the energy slot. I’ve always wanted a special ammo sword
What makes this weapon pinnacle is the slot it uses. In my opinion this could be a great idea for both PvE and PvP! In PvE it revitalizes a under used weapon type. If this is introduced as a pinnacle/ritual weapon. It could even go under Vanguard or Gambit.
All it needs is to tone down the damage output to be equal or better of a shotgun. Which in any case should be standard considering shotguns give the leeway of distance that swords don’t.
Which also helps balance the PvP. A special ammo sword (in Crucible) should either be a one shot kill, or 2 light atks/1 heavy atk to kill.
If a shotgun can kill with one shot, then a special ammo sword wouldn’t be a problem having the same ttk
That’s my idea at least. I’m not saying to change any of the current weapons, but make new ones. Like how there is 2 types of grenade launchers
I added a poll for sheets and giggles so feel free to vote on if you want special ammo swords or nah

Oh great. Yet another no skill weapon. Just what this game needs. 😒
