Additional options for Sheathed Weapons

[Wavicle]

This is NOT a complaint, because the addition of sheathed weapons is terrific. It would, however, be very nice to have the option the place many weapons on the back that are currently only at the side, and perhaps vice versa. Regular Katanas on the back seems really clutch to me...I haven't looked at all the various sets and their options, but that one stood out to me.

My understanding is that ranged weapons have some wonky-ass code they're trying to untangle.  Hence this being melee-only so far.

I think the sheath location is dependent on where the animation draws from upon unsheathing.  Weapons that draw from the back or hip arent interchangeable as its the animation tied to the power set.  Unless katana has some swords that draw from the back,  in which case i am mistaken.

Well for scrapper and tank katana, they draw the sword from the hip with most customizations, there are two exceptions to this: The Rikti Sword and the Apocalypse pruner. I speculate this is because their size and shape would make it awkward looking to hang from the hip like the others. Interestingly, it seems their sheathed state has these two placed on the back but with the handles down so it's still theoretically plausible for the draw animation to work, though it would imply the character has to reach further and draw it in a larger arc.

 

Meanwhile, Blaster ninjutsu secondary and stalker ninja blade (and I believe sentinel ninja tools APP) draw from the back as the default ninja blade is... A ninja blade than a katana and is a straighter, shorter sword with the default model. There's a whole thing about the difference between the samurai sword and the ninja sword, why they draw from different positions, yadda yadda. But does boil down to in this game things that are based in the stalker powersets draw from the back meaning tank and scrapper are the only ones who use 'true' katana style and draw from the hip.
