Any ideas?

Perhaps the reach was a bit longer, but I suspect it was just a replacement model for the knife.

The Psycho pre-order pack used to contain something called the "parang machete," but this was cut.

Could of sworn I heard that was a fake.

I wouldn't mind a DLC with it or a katana for that matter.

That's only bring in a swarm of light operatives hoping they can be a ninja.

And that's when I bring in my Gatling turret and the Maximus. DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA

For some strange reason I can't imagine that :/
Since when do modern soldiers bring katanas to a gunfight(unless your Chuck Norris there is no exception)
But it could be a good addon on the Resistance side.Security are too military-ish and sterile for a katana.

I'm with Gimp. Katana is too big and unmanageable to carry with two guns while jumping around.

I know but one can always dream.

Easy enough, up the damage it deals (over the knife) and make it equivalent to a light or medium weapon - so you'd use it in place of one of your light/medium weapons. Also, you still have your knife in your other hand - knife could be a knockdown effect with a katana/wakizashi equipped while the sword does damage.

If found that the most decent melee addon would be a massive bowie knife which does slightly more damage than the original knife and has special animations(Knife shoved into spine,i dunno)
or a brass knuckle..

I would like several knives/ melee options to choose from. No animations please. For all you who are thinking this is an FPS yes I am aware. However Brink is a game about letting you play how you want to play. You can play without firing a shot maybe some of us want to play using only melee.

well its based off resisteance and i doubt resistance has weapons as good as security so they just used what they had

I believe I'm spending too much time on my threads(this is a bad thing)But I agree with you.The Katana could be rusty to show its been gnawed at by the sea water.The security could have police batons as well..

High Priority I hope.

Maybe it's the ceasers revolver's knife?

On a diffrent note, I prefer the new look of the mask

Fixed.

Just yes :starwars:

Now I wonder, if the Psycho was to get the machete what was the Spec Ops to receive?

I wouldn't mind a katana or machete (or both) in game.

As long as they were an alternative to a gun instead of paired with one. Fire button does a vertical attack or a thrust with decent range, and the melee button does a horizontal slash that basically works like a knife attack with slightly longer reach/wider arc. Both could do approximately the same damage as a knife attack, but also have knockdown effect. Disadvantage? Heavier weapon, slower swing than knife, and you don't have a gun with it, so no shooting people. Sounds balanced to me.

katana

+1

Change of gameplay but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katana all the way!

It is a good idea but then,wouldn't brink lose all meaning of modernity ?
