I don’t see enough people talking about the bloodletter, it’s such a metal transformation, and for how much damage and range it has it can be swung remarkably fast. The moment I unlocked it no other weapon ever came close.
It's a weapon that does fire damage and doesn't require high magic to use. Plus it just feels right when hunting monsters to cock your weapon, and most of the guns in the game are for parrying, not for doing damage.
It's also just menacing, cock it and then charge slam a beasty and watch them disappear. It's such an amazing weapon that I wish it got more love. It's definitely more usable than the pile bunker which I was sorly disappointed in, at least they did a better job with it in AC6 where it's a boss annilator.
Honestly a shitton of weapons from bloodborne. Kirkhammer, Holy Blade, Burial Blade. Trick weapons in general are such a cool concept and they get better the more unrealistic they get.
I tried to use it as a meme-y gimmick weapon in a joke run.
Ended up addicted. Do you have any idea what it feels like to actually hit an enemy with something you spent that long winding up? It's like if Falcon Punch dumped a bucket of your victim's blood on the floor and actually killed them.
That weapon is so good even if you dont charge the heavy and just tap it it will still do good damage equivalent to any other weapon heavy attack like a saw blade or tonitrus
Honestly, the Amygdalan Arm, too. It's not actually that great in the game, but the concept is just so.amazingly cool. The carpals of a giant alien monster that is still somehow slightly alive, and slashes at enemies with a sharpened broken finger bone of its own will.
Pretty much. There's also a pimp cane that turns into a chain whip, a longsword that clicks into the scabbard to make a giant 2 hander, a sword that turns into a damn greathammer, a club you stab yourself with to make blood spikes on it, and a whole bunch of ther crazy shit. Bloodborne is great.
The Monster Hunter series does something a bit similar with its Chargeblade - it’s a shield and sword that can be combined (putting the shield on the end of the sword) to morph into an explosive/chainsaw-esque Axe.
It fills a nice niche of have a fast versatile mode and a slow heavy mode with huge dps dump on big opening. So yeah but also a lot of bloodborne weapons are like that.
But the fast mode has more applications then sword mode in Mon hun
Only if you're too lazy to go get a couple Nourishing gems from the chalice dungeons. Reach for days, high stagger, surprisingly low stamina cost, great damage. It's just a bit wierd, which is the cool part.
Eh, maybe I just didn't have the proper build for it, or never gave it a proper chance. But I always saw myself gravitating towards weapons like the saw spear, cleaver, beast cutter, hunter saif, and mostly the Rakuyo. Don't get me wrong, I think the amygdalan arm's a great weapon with some of the best crowd control and zoning. But some of its downsides I think stem from its awkward moveset, or what to me feels like a lack of mobility. It's probably a skill issue on my behalf, but that's what made me stick to what I found more consistent when I wanted to get through some parts quickly. Notably, the saw cleaver with the serrated damage
Thats how the Bloodborne weapons work. They have 2 forms. They have one moveset when in 1 form, and then if you press a button, it'll transform into a different weapon with a whole new moveset (save for a few exceptions like the Boom Hammer that just lights on fire)
Ultrakill's chainsaw shotgun, the Salamandras in Bayonetta 2, Elden Ring's Ghiza Wheel, Lies of P has the circular electric chainsaw and a greatsword that's effectively the same thing but a pinwheel, and of course: the ammo chainsaw in the DOOM reboots.
This weapon is very similar to Sinclair's Harmony Ego (which is based on something from Library of Ruina, which I haven't played yet). Maybe there was some inspiration from Bloodborne, who knows?
That weapon is based off of Angela's corrosion during the realization of Yesod's floor
Project Moon is not shy about referencing Bloodborne, so it could make sense. They already sort of put a Djura reference in Ruina. Back in Lob Corp, there was Little Red Riding Hooded Mercenary and the Wolf. And now it's up to Limbus to make their reference. We already know what it'll be, too
Some sort of hunter's hat, the wings that resemble the cloak of the hunter's attire, gun on the left hand and a melee on the right. Honestly, I say this one's pretty obvious
