    Nice list, OP! Thanks! Loved the PR descriptions of the weapons.....................I'll take three of each!

    I am VERY disappointed they didn't bring back the Wakazashi from FC 3!

    The list is tentative and only has the things we've seen thus far, it's almost certainly not every weapon that will be in the game (especially when you look at certain categories, like SMGs and Assault Rifles, which will probably have more weapons.) I'm incredibly hopeful that some or several bladed weapons/knives will appear too and I wouldn't be surprised if they do appear, but they haven't been confirmed as far as I'm aware so I can't put them on the list.

    Same here - Far Cry 4 had some fun weapons that I'd like to see again. That, the auto-crossbow, and .700 Nitro are among them, although I think the latter is a bit unlikely considering we have a double barrel shotgun that looks quite similar to contend with it.

    Oh man, I LOVED the harpoon gun. haha. Yeah I think the SBS mentioned in the OP is going to basically take the place of the .700 Nitro. I sort of wish they weren't making it a shotgun though caused I loved that it had range before. At this point I don't think we're getting knives or machetes though, I don't even think we're getting all the melee weapons we thought we were. Havne't seen the sledgehammer or pitchfork in action have we? A shame cause I'd have been fine if they straight up took the 2 handed club animations from primal and just used those and the spear animations for the pitchfork, but I think both those weapons are cut. The shovel is still thrown like a spear, but melee with it functions just like the rest of the melee weapons, they all work the same in that regard. I was excited early on about the various melee options but now that I see they're all pretty much the same thing I'm less enthused.

    Definitely hope there are multiple unrevealed ARs at this point, as well as a multitude of firearms in general. I thought I had heard this game was supposed to have the biggest arsenal yet but from what we know it doesn't seem so....

    I'd love it if a combat or hunting knife or even a hatchet was an option, I've just not seen anything to suggest that to be the case. All the melee options seem to function the same. I think they ran out of time to animate any other melee type so thats why all the weapons function as a club. The only functionality difference I've seen between all the melee weapons available is that the shovel is thrown as a spear and the rest are thrown like one handed clubs in Primal...

    I think it's just a matter of them not showing off everything, because really there's no need to other than to appease the relatively small number of people who are actively searching for all of the little content they add.

    I'd be super surprised if this is all they have, but obviously I won't be holding my breath either.

    I'd like to see a Hatchet as well. I'd settle for that!
    I'm sure I read somewhere a featured list where it had some kind of bladed weapon...

    Man I hope so. Not gonna be using the shovel.

    I have looked into almost every little nugget of info I can on the weapons in this game and don't recall any official word on getting a blade of any kind. I will be using the shovel because you can throw it like a spear, and that is pretty funny to me, but I would sooo rather just have a hunting knife or hatchet. Wolfenstien 2 had great takedown kills with the hatchet, haha, but FC wouldn't be nearly that brutal. In general I'd love for the FC series to take more advantage of it's M rating. I mean, the games are all rated M for mature, they may as well take advantage and have a bit more gore and brutality to maximize the visceral satisfaction of combat. I'm talkin' dismemberment from explosions or ramming guys with vehicles, and blowing heads off with a shotgun or lopping off one in a takedown, rambo style. Ahhh a man can dream... haha. #bringbackblades!
