The Blunderbuss appears to be first up on the docket, coming out “pretty soon,” according to devs. The weapon will be “more exciting, more explosive, and more chaotic” than the Musket and will have “more of a run and gun style.”

The Great Sword is another one devs claim to be working on, with “stance switching” being a core element of its gameplay and usage.

Lastly, Daggers are a weapon that they claimed was, “at the table,” meaning that they are on a shortlist of new weapons that devs want in the game. “It’s near the front, but not quite there yet,” was a sentiment given about when Daggers could appear in the queue of new weapons.

Devs didn’t say much else on weapons outside of the above sentiments, but they did cover a variety of other topics in the video that are worth a listen for interested fans.

One Reddit user made a TL;DR as well for fans wanting a shorter version.
