When you think of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Darth Maul, you think of a horned red villain with black markings across his face, adorned in a long robe, wielding a halberd, right? No? That's probably because his signature weapon is a double-sided lightsaber. It was his whole thing back in The Phantom Menace.
Well, forget the lightsaber, because Fortnite bundles its new Darth Maul skin with a halberd pickaxe, while Anakin comes with a fusioncutter. Again, that very iconic piece of kit he's known to wield in the movies - remember the scene where Anakin smacked a bunch of younglings over the head with a flimsy engineering tool?
Fans are a little confused, so they're once again calling on Epic Games to give Sith and Jedi their signature weapons. "What a joke, when are they going to just add lightsabers as pickaxes, think of the possibilities and customisation [options] we could have!" @BenJacksonSmith replied.
Others simply replied "L", but there's probably a reason for it.
Either there's some kind of licensing agreement that prevents Epic Games from selling lightsabers, or it doesn't want to confuse pickaxes and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the mythic weapons you can find during 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars events. If they look the same, there's no telling if an enemy has a lethal weapon or a flimsy tool used for breaking down walls.
However, Wolverine's claws are both a pickaxe and a weapon, with the models having noticeable differences to separate the two, and fans have long cited this as an example of how Fortnite can add lightsabers as a pickaxe instead of using loosely related tools.
Speaking of loosely related tools. The fusioncutter might be a little bit random, but Darth Maul's weapon is pulled straight from the comics. It's not his most iconic, and most fans probably haven't seen it, but there's a basis behind it. Fans still want to see him brandish his double-sided lightsaber, however.
"What the actual ****ꦿ is Maul holding," @harveyrogue7 r🏅eplied.
"The axe looks cool... but it isn't a Lightsaber," @FireMas50921508 added.
While we still don't have lightsaber pickaxes, Fortnite's new Star Wars event is live right now. For 1,000 V-Bucks, you can buy the paid event pass that unlocks Darth Maul and his halberd, while Clone Troopers, Anakin, and Padme are available in the store.
