The fact that a special weapon (shotguns) is better in almost every way than a heavy (swords) is absolutely ridiculous. Move swords to kinetic/energy slot & shotguns to heavy slot, as shotguns are more effective in swords’ range.

I still think they'd be worse than shotguns even if you gave them a lot of ammo (maybe the exotic ones would see some use though). I think there's sometbing wrong with the way swords swing and register in general that makes them pretty much useless (aside from heavy attacks or blocking but those both waste ammo). I would also not enjoy getting killed by the black talon over and over again, as this is the best "ranged" sword.
-
We need swords in all three slots that take all three ammo types honestly.
-
I think it’d be cool if they added a sword and shield exotic weapon, I wouldn’t care about the perks and the animation would barely need to change, would just look cool.
-
I never thought about this but that’s a great idea. as long as black talon stays in the heavy slot.
-
That doesn’t fix the problem with the ammunition whatsoever just by shifting it to a different slot
-
At this point they should remove the slots and allow players to use whatever 3 weapons they want. If you use 3 heavies in crucible have fun with no ammo.

I'm a sword fan myself, although I rarely see any others using them!! From a pve perspective, and maybe this isn't what you're referring to, I much prefer them in fact!! Could do with some improvements though; we definitely don't have swords as good as the dark drinker or the raze lighter!!
-
Yes you are right but if they were special then they wouldn’t be able to block
-
I like sword in heavy for escalation protocol. If moved to special I wouldn't be able to team it with coldheart or PLens.
