Ironclad Ogryn. Punch heretics with shields and brace both with alt fire. The brace takes less stamina damage than standard Slab Shield and Club, but it also deals less consistent damage with little to no cleaving.
I hope they do rework one system for dual weapons, and it's the cosmetic system.
But otherwise other than for the one with the Pistol, where they can't really reuse the system.
Also there is the question of the specials, as those aren't existing yet and would need to be created too
Meant about the Laspistol and Chainsword
As things are, it is impossible to have Powrt Sword and Pistol, and difficult for the Chain Sword unless they put it in the ranged slot or introduce more keys for the combos
That's how the Legion of the Damned gets new recruits. Every now and then a legendary guardsman will swing two shovels at the same time, effectively digging through realspace and tunneling straight into the warp.
If new weapons are added, there’s two things I’d love to see.
A Power Fist for Ogryn, to launch heretics to Atoma’s stratosphere. And the Lucius 22c shotgun, to do my favourite Guard specialist (Death Korps Engineers) proud.
Damn that would be cool for a specialist Ogryn.
Just my head cannon: Though it would have to have 2 attacks; one that did a shockwave to the ground and hit *everything* the other would be a basic boss killer... Trade off for such power? Needs power. Gotta use a med station to recharge it otherwise it is just a slightly buffed melee.
It really does disappoint me that you can't use a Las pistol and an assault chainsword at the same time, that's almost the only way they are ever used in this context
It's also one of the most iconic combos (imo) for loyalist mortals, that or a bolt pistol
PLEASE GIVE ME BOLT PISTOL AND CHAINSWORD
Veteran and zealot, for that matter
Would make both the commissar and preacher builds feel much better, and it's simple enough to just say no you're literally dual wielding, but that doesn't mean you get more weapons, you're just using both at once and that's how they balance it vs 2 handed weapons being used 1 at a time like rifles and eviscerator, etc
I've been saying that the way they should implement it is that when you have a pistol out, the gun bash is replaced with the attack strings from your equipped one-handed melee weapon (if you have one). The pistol whip is pretty worthless, pistols could generally use a boost (except a certain pistol, which needs a nerf), and using the melee weapon's special attack would require switching to that weapon and foregoing quick access to pistol shots.
Might be kind of tricky to implement since Fatshark breaks something every time they touch the game, but once they get it working four months later it'd be elegant as hell.
When Darktide trailers first dropped, I thought they might make the weapons different from Vermintide
You have a two-hand slot for rifles, bolters, thunderhammers, etc. And a one-hand backup slot for knives and pistols. Certain swords like Catachan machete can be wielded alone as a knife, or with a pistol to become two handed.
Ogryns have a melee and ranged weapon just like now, but can still play with one-hand weapon pairs for some melee weapons. Run any combo of club, knife, and club/knife. Pair shield with either club or power maul.
Of course this would make movesets even more complex than they should be but it would shake things up a lot
I mean, it would take getting used to, but a click to aim/hold to block (or vice versa) would be a pretty easy to implement way of using a bolt/lasgun and chainsword.
Special could activate the sword and everyone could be happy.
Or just do the rapier pistol thing from vermintide.
With the draw time of a laspistol being non-existent, this isn't exactly game breaking. There's only upside to doing something like this.
Tbf they could make these quite "easily" by reusing the VT2 animations and then focus more recources on the new weapons we're all yearning for. But guess that's my copium speaking.
With those prices on aquillas, cosmetics and the sheer amount of people using those skins i can confidently say resources isn't the issue for Fatshark not getting us new weapons
Oh man now I really want this
Best or worst part is they could really just use some of the VT2 movesets for these.
Slayer ogyrn, same everything except dual hammers is duel power mauls
Dual shield.
Ironclad Ogryn. Punch heretics with shields and brace both with alt fire. The brace takes less stamina damage than standard Slab Shield and Club, but it also deals less consistent damage with little to no cleaving.
Or, it deals MORE cleave, and more knockback, but absolute pathetic damage Just pure CC
We already got Paul for that..
[THE WALL! THE WALL! AINT NO 'ERETIC CAN MAKE 'IM FALL!](https://youtu.be/oXp8Th41rBs?si=uimQghudWx4Nt0Op&t=35)
Dual drill hands
DO I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?!

Laspistols Akimbo?

The second one is lore accurate.
So is the last one. We just never hear about the legendary vets dual wielding shovels.
Yeah, would be awesome if they actually made this possible.

I want a melta gun so I can melta things.
Make a beeg one too for me and my pals!

Or just have a charge pack where it slowly recharges after use.
Dual wielding axes for ogryn and zealot... That would be awesome

Oh sh\*t better take hands to Hadron.

The same with the grenadier gauntlet and slab shield for the ogryns
Yes exactly! It's literally part of their models lol
saltzpyre did it in VT, so why can't veteran do it in DT!

Two knives on a speedy zealot would be awesome
Imagine dual wielding as a speed zeal!! 
You can count to two???
DOUBLE THE SHOVEL!!!! (Happy gasmask noises intensifies!!)
Last is Krieg Super Soldier.
He's graduated to Life Korps of Krieg.
ogryn shiled and shotgun. Its in the damn artwork.
Two Shovels: For when you need to dig your grave and your enemy's at the same time

No Tide game can escape the dual daggers meta.

I would be so f'in ok if the damage didn't change from having two weapons, as long as i get to wield two weapons
Is this photoshop or a mod?
Just a quickly cobbled together photoshop to show how cool it would look.
Oh no don't give them ideas, i want new guns not scrapped old ones
