    Characters using guns?

    Now I'm not talking about having a commando with an AK running around, but I was wondering if you think we'll ever see any characters with like powder pistols/rifles that they use for skills or mix into their combos for unblockables, and of course for cool executions. Something like a musketeer character who carries a rapier, or a buccaneer with a cutlass.

    I find it curious that in this world we have apparently mastered blasting powder (as seen in the forge) but nobody has mastered cannons :P

    what the hell is the blasting powder for!?

    We've definitely seen the suggestion a lot from players who want to see pirates in the game. Personally, the concept is interesting. However, some players have an issue with seeing them introduced into the game, since the combat revolves heavily around melee-based combat.

    Absolutely not. This is a feudal/medieval era hack and slash arena fighter game. Not Deadliest Warrior. If you want guns, go play Assassins Creed, or any of the hundreds of shooter games. No pirates, no cowboys, no guns. I don't care if they are 90 second cooldown, low power flintlock wrist blasters. No. Guns.

    Pirates fighting on land to raid/defend a castle, fort, or village? Do they even know what makes a pirate a pirate?

    I find the idea of a pirate stupid aswell dont worry alarming virus. But let them ask for it i suppose, and anything ranged in this game annoys the hell out of me, let alone guns hahhaha

    Why Not a Samurai Ashigaru?
    He would fit the look and even the Timeline.
    Given Assassins Creed 3 and 4 melee combat with a gun wouldn't look to bad either.

    But please no Ranged Combat!!!

    Yeah ranged combat was definitely a no-go in this scenario. The idea was just for them to be used in, like, unblockable animations or to be used like the Bow ability.

    No, I don't think adding guns into this game is a good idea. There are plenty of other games with guns you can play if you like that.
