 I want a crossbow
it should have 100% shield bypass and 0% armor pen.
medieval weapons really fit into this universe =P

[Descy_]

SO FUNNAY.

Guns? SO primitive. WHy dont we have mind-lasers in mass effect?

[SNascimento]

Well. the Graal is pretty much a crossbow.
.
Irony aside, I do think swords fits the ME universe in the way there were used in ME3. It's was not just the swords, it's backed up by reaper reaper technology.

Clearly if you have an old-fashioned weapon like a sword in a futuristic sci-fi setting, that means you're a "badass" who is too "awesome" for stuff like guns.

...Swords? Where? Kai Leng and the Phantoms (that sounds like a really bad band) had katanas, but that's all I saw. What did I miss?

[SinerAthin]

Who could ever say no to an Asari combining tech & biotics with a sword as sidearm?


Can only imagine it'd been even crazier than Krogan Meleeing in Multiplayer...

A sword is too low velocity to trigger a kinetic barrier, while remaining capable of penetrating armor. Seems like a legit tactic to me.

Only a bow? I want a trebuchet that launches angry volus at your foes.

[idunhavaname]

Bows? Why not LIGHTSABER WHIP?

[likta_]

How about chainsaw nunchakus?

Joker says it himself: gun that fires thresher maws.  That is all.

Couldn't get the bowstring animations to work, so the bows were scrapped.

Artistic Integrity!

Use that every time for an argument!

[daguest]

Space ninjas are great, but space magic is better.

No it's not, a normal human could never pierce modern body armor with a normal sword

Let alone the armor in Mass Effect

[Arppis]

Swords! Not words!

...oh, well bows.

Who said the human or the sword were "normal"?

All Cerberus troops in ME3 are inhanced with Reaper tech-based implants, and I'm sure their swords are a little more complex than simply sharpened steel.
Maybe it's made of a type of metal that's able to remain durable when superheated, making it much easier to cut through things.

DOes anyone remember the codex entry for Phantoms? Maybe it talks about their swords.

Maybe a crossbow, low projectile speed to bypass shields and low sound for assassination?

I mean, with enough exposition anything is possible.

they look pretty oldschool? did they pull some vibrosword bs? <-- serious question

[Avissel]

Better than that Thane guy, he uses his fists! What a jerk.


So if swords are bad what about the omni blade?

I wonder what is the "speed limit" for the kinetic barriers to stop noticing.
