Secret World Legends offers up ‘deep dive’ on weapons

After a week or so of teasing the different weapon specialties on Twitter for Secret World Legends, the crew at Funcom has finally released a “deep dive” into the different tools of destruction and their brand-new mechanics from which players can choose when they create a new character.

The weapon selection, from which each player can choose two at a time, is:

• Blades: Generate “chi” to trigger a time-limited spirit blade
• Hammer: Build up rage to spend on power attacks
• Fist: Build up fury to access primal wrath abilities
• Blood Magic: Move on a meter to either boost damage or healing
• Chaos Magic: Damage divisible by eight will trigger a special event
• Elementalism: Build up heat to boost damage but deny the use of some skills
• Shotgun: One of four random shell types will be reloaded every six shots
• Pistol: The RNG will determine if you do bonus damage on any given shot
• Assault Rifle: Generate and expend grenades over time

The headstart for Secret Worlds Legends begins on June 23rd and will accept anyone who either has a current Secret World account or has signed up for the beta.
