Brought the red one from the noisy ferengi and it does not glow with cool red blades at all it only displays the frame.

Why must you hurt me when i show you nothing but love cryptic?

    They basically work like lightsabers.
    Those weapons only activate their blade when they are drawn, if you only carry them around holstered you just end up with weird looking sticks on your back.

    What seriousdave said. Also, if you DID try to swing it around and didn't see any visual effects, well... I can't have any certitude about the red bat'leth, but the blue one does work fine for me.

    I recall that it won't activate in places weapons won't fire, like QWW or ESD, either.

    Yep, to see the blades you have to use it in combat.​​

    Upgrade it? Honestly, the biggest amount of time I spend using melee weapons is with the Borg, and that blade is the only one that they adapt to. It's a fun thing, but...

    They adapt to it because its method of attack is a focused energy beam into a shape, but still is energy based which Borg can adapt to. Worse yet... the energy type is plasma... the very energy type the Borg uses, which means they probably can adapt faster to it.

  • berginsbergins Member Posts: 3,453 Arc User
    While I understand why they adapt, and I see the logic to them adapting faster to a familiar energy type, did Cryptic really bother programming in that difference? I don't think so...

    I bleieve there is a minor workaround by going into shooter mode and using the 3 key. Or maybe just the 3 key in general. Been a while since I did it in a social zone.

    The Borg are irrelevant when you're fighting Voth, Vaadwaur, Undine, Terrans, Heralds.... well you see where this is going. :p

  • markhawkmanmarkhawkman Member Posts: 35,236 Arc User

    It can activate in non-combat areas with the shove motion, just not the primary & seconary swing.
    Thanks for the Advanced Light Cruiser, Allied Escort Bundles, Jem-Hadar Light Battlecruiser, and Mek'leth

    I'm not sure the shove works in the Winter Wonderland. I suspect that's the problem. People buy it at the winter vendor, try to use it without changing maps, and immediately assume ERMAGEHRD BROKEN.

    Speaking of Bat'Leths, the Shard Sword of Khaless could use a stats boost for supposedly an Epic weapon. Fleet Bath'let's sort of put it to shame. We also need an Episode to go get the one used by Khaless in House of Pegh back.

    The shard sword is levelless.... but the old levelless. I think it's essentially a mk 10.
