Retroactive Weapons

I think it would be fair and more importantly awesome, that when they release a new powerset, like Titan Weapons or Staff Fighting, that they include a weapon style from the past costume packs for people who bought them. Like for staff, a Chinese spear for Imperial Dynasty, or some kind of halberd for Chainmail maybe. Titan Weapons could have a Steampunk weapon of some kind. I would just like to see more of these types of choices when a new set comes out.

P.S. Sorry if this makes no sense, my ability to word things comprehensibly is impaired due to allergy medicine...

I understood. You'd like updates to old costume packs to incorporate new weapon sets. Would be really neat, and they have done updates to costume bundles in the past so it's not too far fetched either. Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the packs updated to include old weapon sets that weren't covered, as well. Like getting an old west Rifle for assault rifle, to name one example.

I'd be happy with more weapons at all, irrespective of what purchase they're attached to. Weapon customization is something that's REALLY under-represented in this game, and I honestly can't understand why that is. We get full costume set after full costume set, but barely ever do we get an errant weapon or two, and usually for just one weapon type that never happens to be one of the less populated ones. Like Pulse Rifle.

And here I thought a retroactive weapon was something that you could shoot today and it would kill its target yesterday.

I'd definitely like to see this, either as additions to the old packs, or as free items in the style of the old packs (i.e. like a Cyborg blade or something...).

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

Well I think the most obvious way to meet this demand would be the Backwards Pistol blast set. If you think DP's animations are wild, you should see the tier 9 here. Thumbs on the triggers, baby!

Pretty sure doing crazy things with time travel and bullets is the concept of some gunkata movie or anime.

After starting with Broad Sword, which has a ridiculous number of alternate weapon skins, some of which like the Tech Sword are completely unique and awesome, it's kinda sad seeing the limits on Katana.

Mind you, that's just at character creation, iirc there's a lot more weapons you can unlock from badges, like the Council guns.

More weapons would be awesome.

I've been missing a cavalry sabre for a long time. (IE: Basket-hilted curved sword for BS/DB)

Also a slightly more realistic-looking two-hander for Titan Weapons, more polearms for Staff Fighting, etc.

I have to agree. You can even fit weapons not traditionally associated with the set into this category. For instance, I ached to have a set of escrima sticks for Dual Blades, because all the attacks fit the pattern of how that fighting style works. In some ways I wish the set was called Dual Weapons, just to broaden out the set.

But that aside, it's worth broadening out weapons and weapon types. If we're getting medieval costume sets and mecha armor, then give us weapons for them that are compatible with older sets too.

I´d love to see an organic armor style TW, even if it´s just a re-skinned Demon axe... or maybe for DP

Then why would you shoot it today, when your target was killed a day ago?

@Redcap

Would love a steampunk TW.

I just like new costume items.
