Any new weapons in mod 10?

lwedar

Just as title says, trying to figure out if any new weapons are coming out. Haven't seen any on preview yet and wonder if i should go ahead and refine some different weapons for alts are save the RP

Nobody else has found any sign of new weapons (or other artifact neck/belt) either, just armor.

This is not a guarantee they won't add something, but it doesn't really make sense for them to do so at this time. An entire new armor system is a lot of change and they are somewhat unlikely to do more than that at one time. Also, weapons that are a flat improvement over the current ones would add power creep (via higher base damage), and that would go against their efforts to make the new module provide more challenge. The primary reason to pursue new armor is special damage resistance, and not that it's objectively better than the old.

So you're taking your chances, but I've opted to go for a weapons upgrade now, because I don't believe they're likely to add new ones just yet.

"Does Storm King's Thunder introduce new weapons? Yes."

I think new weapons should not be added right now considering so many are/have grinded and spent to get to 2.5k for Twisted. I negates a lot of work for a lot of players.

Yup. Whoopdeedoo time to spend 4 million RP to make up the RP gap from feeding mainhands+offhands on four toons : \

So I got a chance to watch the couple of minutes of this stream after that question, and while he says "yes, new weapons", he also says "sorry, I don't know" with regard to new artifact equipment, and that he is only assuming that there will be new artifact equipment because there's always new artifact equipment.

There's not anything in the current build to indicate new additions other than the armor (and one artifact) at this time.

If there is indeed new weapon sets it only makes sense that it will be Black Ice related as in Mod 3. I'd be more than happy if they skipped new artifact equipment for just one mod. I'm so tired of constantly upgrading for no real progress.

Mod 10 is such a Mod 3 clone hat it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they added the weapons to the HE rewards. ​​

i m sure it would be really hard to release something better than twisted weapons.
