There just really isn’t an effective counter to it. It’s basically the hammer, a sniper no-scope while they’re charging in, a last second sticky nade, or the repulser. Just hope they don’t have the grapple to go along with it. I’m not talking about a 50% reduction or something just maybe, like, 10-15% less frequent. I do like that the weapon RNG rates are pretty similar, which is how the game mode should be.

I second this!
At least until they update the weapons sandbox and add in the M90 Shotgun.
I haven’t played a lot of Infinite Fiesta… but in H5 the best counter is the plasma grenade. It’s a suicide play but you just stand there and stick 'em.
I agree. Usually about 3 or 4 people have a sword at a time and there is nothing you can do to kill someone with a sword up close. Shots do not register on sword players if they lunge at you. Trades don’t even count against a player with a sword. Swords and gravity hammers should be rare weapons like the sniper.
I think a bigger problem is weapon variety in general. But yeah melee weapons + grapplers (oh and rockets) is pretty much the meta
No you have the Shotgun as a reliable counter.
It’s a conundrum. As a counter, you could spawn with Sword to fight your opponents who are wielding Swords. However, as soon as you die, they get refreshed Swords again.
I think it would be better if Melees were balanced where they actually could kill a Sword-wielder. As it is now, even if you have their shields low enough for a Melee kill and perform the action, the Sword cancels it out and wins every time.
There’s also lot of other unfortunate aspects in this game giving a huge advantage to Sword and also Hammer. Oddly enough, the Halo 2 Sword looks like child’s play compared to this, lmao (if you’re old enough to know what I mean)
I’m begging you to say something different.

I am not advocating for the replacement of The Bulldog.
I am advocating for that when there is a Sword Spawn on a map, that just like with literally every other map that has the Sword it should have the M90 to allow for an equal chance to counter the Swordfighter.
And if someone grabs the Shotgun, then the Sword should be your next goal if you want to have a chance in close-quarters.
IF you have a line-of-sight on them. The current shotgun just doesn’t have the instant kill power.
Exactly what I am saying.
The Bulldog is a good Mid-Tier gun. But we need a Top-Tier shotgun to counter the sword.
