i kid you not! - we not only thought of this but also concepted and prototyped this exact idea (sword into gun) back in 2016 :)

How about a butterfly knife. Like a butterfly that turns into a knife. I know you guys aren't going to add in an actual butterfly knife anytime soon. So how about a knife that is a butterfly just to troll the people who were asking for one lol.
lol that'd be pretty troll. I like it though
Please start applying alternate colors to the knives!
we did this on the Ego line - we're talking about if we should do it on everything else going forward. no commitments but everything is a tradeoff. with our current team if we add more variant workload to them, it takes away from other things so we have to balance it out
Black/Red for sure
mine too! close second is the white/green
Love the aesthetic of this skin line. Vandal and spectre especially look amazing
same!! this is seriously my favorite set!
Hey, do we have a price already? Thanks.
its in the video as soon as we look at the store image ;)
Oh god those variants are sexy.
which one is your favorite?
I think the white is the best looking. Black is ok, but I want my skins to stand out more. The default skins are already all black.
I don't get why they recolored the gold finish to silver? Purple and silver doesnt look as good as purple and gold, imo.
we have A LOT of gold on our gunskins. consider also the Ruin set with its black/gold, prime with purple white gold, sovereign, etc. its kind of a meme for us at this point that we always put gold on things and we wanted to just go a bit more muted for this considering it needed that edgy feel rather than the premiere high tier feel you know?
As an Omen main, this is literally the perfect skin bundle. Endgame bundle for me definitely.
glad we delivered!
thank you for the response. i meant the singularity knife, my bad. i was wondering if it also has different variants like the rest?
oh sorry. no just the guns have variants
does the knife laso have variants?
nope, none of the Ruin weapons have any variants. Just the Surge set.
Ok, cupid here again, saw the knife. I love the pop out animation, although it was a flip, but it was “different”. I like it imo, however It would’ve been cool if the vfx had the circles around them instead of grey regular ones, but I still think this is my favorite knife lol. Woulda also been happy about a finisher of a ufo taking away someone, but the skins are already made and in the system. Have my money haha
Haha! A UFO finisher idea sounds amazing :)
Not OP, but I’m gonna be honest with you, the axe and the sword are so different model-wise that I didn’t even occur to me that the animations were the same. If there were to be two melees that look even just a tad more similar though...
So for example we had a different axe - some viking sort of inspired thing (not saying we're working on a viking skin just an example :P) - even though the model is distinct from the Prime axe, that would be more apparent that they share the same animset, and you'd likely want to see a different anim to further differentiate the two, correct?
If thats what you're after I completely get it, and for us what we have to find is a fine balance between reinventing the wheel like ive mentioned. Some of our animators may work to make things feel different but on a similar enough type of weapon, youd have to go pretty far for it to be noticeable. So its a fine balance of how much of this are we able to modify, vs completely restart. The more unique things we do, the longer they take, and the longer players may have to wait for it. By no means does that mean its not worth doing but its definitely something we consider when working on new skinlines. For some thematics we find that t...
Read moreThem having the same equip bothers a tad bit, but maybe that’s just a loud minority’s pettiness kicking in, them alone being unique as a sword or axe is good enough, in my, and from what I’ve seen, a lot of people’s opinions. The same inspect is probably the only thing that sticks out to me.
Totally agree about the inspects. We're definitely looking into ways for these to feel better in the future since its the most unrelated to gameplay and offers a unique opportunity space
Instantly thought of Fallout's Alien Blaster, at least this time it looks like they have VFX?
they do!
Hi, in my opinion you guys should add the Phantom back. Look at it from this perspective the Elderflame vandal also dosent look like a vandal kind of but due to popular streamers using it and it's been a long time it's been in the game now everyone knows it's as Elderflame vandal. The same will go with the new phantom. Once it's in the game for sometime everyone will know this is a phantom skin gun because the skin is going to have huge popularity like Elderflame . Please reconsider adding the Phantom back. I hope I helped and I didn't disturb thanks!
Hehe well we've talked about before that if players like a skinline we can always revisit later with new weapons. You're right that the Elderflame Vandal caused a lot of that early on confusion and internally we always said that was as far as we wanted to go in terms of something feeling different. When we were in the early phases of the G.U.N development, we had lots of comments and concerns that the Phantom we were making was just way too far out of the expectation. The classic also got a lot of this feedback but was salvageable.
A huge part of it was us not catching it early enough to make the change, so if we do revisit its definitely something we know to look out for now.
I think for melee’s in particular, they have to be different from the default knife for them to sell well. There are so many default skin recolours that people just dont find it worth it to consider purchasing them anymore. I guess a new animation on a default knife might be a bit more interesting than a normal default knife but i’m sure a completely new knife like the prime, elderflame, sovereign or glitchpop is way more preferred because of how unique and disctinct they are in comparison to the default knife and in relation to each other.
so when you think about those examples, particularly prime and sovereign, do those having the same equip and attack animations bother you? or is their model change enough to still be appealing?
Oooh i’m hype now lol
Im curious to hear your thoughts on how different of an animation you'd want to see for something like this? we get this feedback a lot and in a hopes to understand a bit more, im going to pick you to begin helping us with that. Say you had a regular knife, similar to the Ego or Smite ones. Would a new equip animation on that be exciting? or for you is it more of the animations with a new type of weapon?
We always try to find opportunities to add to melee weapons where we can without completely reinventing the wheel, so id love to hear from your perspective what amount of change would be exciting for you?
So is it possible that some day we will get a collection like this? :D
Its possible, but no commitment yet. We've sort of looked at it from 2 different angles. On one hand we have some sort of reactive features already like with the Sovereign skin line, where when you get a kill, the gems on the back glow and give off some little particles. We can continue doing things like that that are subtle but help emphasis that moment of getting a kill for the player.
When it comes to things evolving or changing, we'd probably treat it similar, keep it subtle and work progressively toward a final version. A lot of times we see this in games it involves things like color changes, glowing, etc, and we'd need to find the appropriate end cap. Do we reset your advances on death? Do we let you keep those advances round to round? What if someone picks your gun up and starts killing with it?
Variables like this are all things to take into consideration so we want to make sure we've gone over all of our options before going all in on an idea, but rest assu...
we've thought about this :)
