Item Preview: 2-Handed Melee Weapons

Show time! Go ahead make my day!

Indeed… its like the old mom and pop stores, or in today’s day and age, one off stores with a single owner who has a single vision, and can custom tailor their store to how they want it to look and what items they have for sale.

I think people are starting to realize that going the big box way, though often “cheaper” to the consumer, is only an illusion of quality and value. More people are willing to spend a bit more these days for something that is of better quality…

Games are no different. I sense that people are fed up with abandonware and poorly coded and recycled games being churned out by the Activision/EA/Blizzard machines.

Plus, who doesn’t love and underdog? I hope Crate gets all the respect and koodos they deserve for this endeavor.

I love this game and these weapons look great! Can’t wait to try them out when they’re released haha :stuck_out_tongue:

Two - Handed weapons have never been my favourite weapon class - I tend to find myself choosing a Staff or Bow from the closet. That being said the art, design and detail of these weapons continue to follow the trend I have become so accustomed to by the fantastic people at CRATE - nothing short of very impressive.

I may find myself picking up a repurposed broom from said closet at some point in the future :stuck_out_tongue:

Keep up the excellent work, guys!

Oh wow I didn’t even know 2 handers were coming. What a cool surprise.

Yup. It was one of the stretch goals for the Kickstarter project. You might want to peruse the rest of the list as well to see what else is coming.

Excellent news regarding 2-H weapons, thanks for the mini Misadventure-update, Allminoxy!

Can’t wait to see these in-game. :slight_smile:

These look stunning. I’m normally one to go the dual wielding route when given the choice, but these look good enough to make me want to try a 2-handed build. Are you be at liberty to tell us if there will ever be fist weapons in this game?

Is it possible that we may see an engine block Greathammer?

5000 PHY requirement inc!

Haha that’s so great. We make Ford V6 engine blocks at my job and yeah, if you can lift and carry around 100 lbs on a stick then by all means lol

Hi

The art design is always looking so spot on, rock on!:p!

Seeing these two hander’s makes me wonder though will there eventually be a 2hander class?

Can’t wait to find me a war axe, also 1+ for a engine block hammer idea.

cheers

2 handed class would only come with an expansion or a mod.

Otherwise I’m sure 2 handed characters will still have plenty of options when it comes to pre-existing skills.

yes, like Shadow Strike with a two handed sword :cool: (also works with Zolhan’s Technique, Blade Arc, Ring of Steel and all the % weapon damage skills…)

Do you remember Goblin claws from old hns Silverfall? Fancy this weapon in Grim Dawn.

Great work. I cannot wait to get my hands on one. Get it?

I hope they aren’t just the same as one handed weapons, but slower and with more damage just like the two-handed ranged weapons are. There’s no incentive to use the two-handed guns, the two-handed melee weapons need something other than more damage. Maybe class them as both melee AND shield so they can use shield skills as well? Otherwise, why use a two hander over a sword/board or dual wielding fast weapons?

Good idea. Hopefully whatever future class for two-handers they come up with will have some kind of block skill/proc. Realistically you can block with the haft of the weapon and it would be nice to see that apply to at least rifles as well.

What about allowing them to have two gem sockets, since they’re bigger?..:stuck_out_tongue:

That’s a really good idea, I think. If only bigger damage is the advantage of 2h weapons, absence of shield and slower attack speed may make players to not reach for these weapons. Two sockets could convince them.
