What special weapon do you want to see?

[Stop Mocking Me0]

And no, I'm not talking about the wonder weapon. I mean like the annihilator, or the swords. 

Personally, I'd like to see the triumphant return of the flamethrower here. Or the purifier rather...  And lets assume it's upgradable too.... 

 

Other options include the tunder weapon, the crossbow, the war machine, reaper's arm. 

The possibilities are endless. Please discuss.

I just want the Ray Gun Mark 2 back man :(

[Stop Mocking Me0]

Doesn't look like that one's coming back in this DLC me boy...

I'll be very disappointed if the special weapon is the Purifier/flamethrower. We can already get that in Dead Ops Arcade II, and it's really not all that impressive.

.... Or it works differently in game?

Purifier makes sense but there is obviously the chance they will throw a curve ball. I hope if it is the purifier that they will reinvent it in some way to have a dragons aesthetic.

I was only referencing the Purifier flamethrower.

[PortlyLlama80]

Maybe the Flamethrower?

[Rissole25]

Flamethrower is still better than War Machine. That is a specialist weapon and has a chance of coming back. It even acts the same with the bouncing, although it explodes on impact if it hits an enemy.

Until they fix this samantha curse glitch i have no interest in special weapons, and i'd also like to see them get a buff or at least be upgradable - i dont think much of the swords, they're very buggy, and the annihilator is nothing special. I would like to see the death machine power up return, it was in DOA2 so im perplexed it wasnt in the main maps

They have fixed it havent they? I have not had it again.

I feel like this could've been a better map to have a sword in personally, just fits a little better. I would say that judging by what appears to be the theme of the map it will either be a fire based weapon or an ice one, but both of the previous special weapons for the game so far don't really "fit" into their respective maps themewise. Swords kind of but if you compare it to the WW, the WW fits the theme of SoE much better. So for this map, all I can guess is that it will be based off of one of the specialist weapons and I really really hope it's the scythe.

^Winters Howl return please. For samanthas curse, i'm pretty sure its still present, and i wont be picking up a special weapon again till i see in a patch note it has been resolved.

[Stop Mocking Me0]

It IS quite annoying that glitch,but lets assume it works fine in this map.

A Winters Howl? Thats not going to work, there was a discussion about it being on CotD. Snow gun in a snow map doesn't make much sense. Zombies might be used to that cold and it just doesn't seem that inspired.

[Stop Mocking Me0]

A similar point was made in plants vs zombies 2. 

In frostbite caves, iceberg lettuce, which typically stops a zombie dead in it's tracks, now just slows zombies. 

 

I feel like glitch could be implemented somehow...

That would be cool. I would like the Timebomb back with lots of abilities, like its regular one is a last resort thing but it has a glitch ability too.

What about the Sparrow? Castles were usually armed with soldiers wielding bows and crossbows, so the Sparrow would fit in well.

No dude, they patched it.

[Stop Mocking Me0]

For online play they've fixed a few of the samantha curse-downs glitches, but in offline and rare occasions, there's still an issue with the curse. 

[TimelordAlex]

Well either way, the special weapons are not really that powerful or useful anyway tbh

I can't believe I didn't think of this. The medieval theme of the map and a bow goes hand in hand. I'm willing to bet my firstborn that the Sparrow will see it's way into the next zombies map now. I would like to see some sort of elemental power up integrated into it for zombies though, like fire or ice.

[Stop Mocking Me0]

Or distraction! Those would be ideal arrows. Or revive arrows. 

[HitmanVere]

They probably wont add any new special weapons in this one. Probs just add swords in and be done with it, lol. People seem to like swords a lot, so it would make sense to have something in, that people already like from first maps. Purifier/flamethrower would be sweet though, always liked flame-based weapons and was so thrilled, when Origins was announced with fire staff few years back
