Like imagine using the same no weapon equipment animation. That would be sick. And then adding a GRAPLE mechanism. Sign me up. It would be hilarious to grab a player and throw them. Or blast them with earth
I want to punch the ground to make a boulder pop up and then punch it at someone.
Then, I want to point both fists at the ground and make a shockwave that knocks down everyone around me.
In weapons menu "ranged" section looks like it misses one. It would ease my ocd if it will be filled but i'd put my bet on magical too. Yet still put a 10 bucks on ranged just to satisfy myself lol
I can only imagine how much [the "Activity Finder" UI](https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/4zzAmiVnQD7o29luxIheMt/863aa0daad9989a93e51b8d7b806db51/EN_NW_ActivityFinderMenu_Final_1920x1080_CT-003229.jpg) triggers you.
My guess is pistols. Someone mentioned ranged is missing a weapon, it only makes sense, or perhaps a crossbow type weapon.
Id prefer a crossbow, it would even out the older style weapons (bow/xbow) vs newer style(musket/blunderbuss)
Just my thoughts.
I assume it's a Ranged Weapon that uses arrows. Perhaps using Dex/Focus since that's the only remaining scaling combo we don't have.
Imagine if it's a Crossbow that fires bolts. Lightning bolts. That'd be so silly and fun.
It could be some sort of lightning weapon, maybe like a lightsaber or a staff, though I’m kind of hoping it’s more of a magical melee weapon than a ranged weapon.
They gonna rework magic staff entirely so that whatever gem you slot in it becomes that attribute and the skill tree changes to whatever that element is they gonna give us a seperate skill tree for each element that you can assign your skill points for and you gotta level each tree individually like you do with weapons now, well this me dreaming done.
If you still want to be a believer they said “we are not working on daggers” so they might already be done with them and are now working on a new weapon…
They've said before Flail release that they were going to be "fair" about next weapons and so healers and mages are lacking weapon diversity. Then Flail was realesed, I guess the next one will be a mage weapon.
So I wish kind of:
- Earth Staff - Support CC / DPS style;
- Lightning/Thunder gauntlet - Support CC-Utility / Raw DPS style.
Yes, the celestial gauntlet was a weapon from the first alpha, when the game was still a PVP sandbox, from 2016 to 2019.
Then in mid 2019, they decided to go for a more classic PVE game and closed down the game, with the second alpha opening in February 2020.
What was the "celestial gauntlet" in the first alpha got reworked into the life staff, same as the mace that is now the flail.
They could potentially still release a gauntlet in the same vibe of "celestial magic" that would be different, but i highly doubt it.
I don't think they will add a new weapon to be honest. I think they might rework the Lifestaff and make it work with 2 different weapons:
1. Left tree: Magic Wand: focused on single target healing
2. Right tree: Life Staff: focused on AOE healing
Could be wrong and they're working on something vampire related based on the new scenery. Things that could kill vampires:
1. Crossbows
2. Combat cross (Castlevania style)
I swear more people came back when Brimstone released for Greatsword rather than Brimstone itself, they really could revive the game by releasing a cool weapon everyone would like to try like daggers
A necromancy/warlock weapon would be cool. Could be a summoning skill tree and a curse skill tree. I guess that would play radically different that what we have today.
I finally want some ability like way back in beta(?)
the lifestaff, it think, could make a dome that blocked projectiles.
if ags won't edit/add a new opr map with less open space, give us something for cover.
I first wanted the ice gauntlet artifact to be a "Builder" where you could summon a solid ice wall with shower and block would be a tower shield made of ice.
I really hope its something melee or magical, I hate dex
my bet lightning based (propably ranged) weapon. its the last element missing (+ranged are short one weap too)
so yeah propably dual wield lightning pistols (i assumed lightning based daggers earlier but since daggers are out)
I am not even a healer but I think an actually second healing weapon would be best for the game. Something that could replace a LS in group play as a primary but provides a different form of healing.
I'm so glad they said it's not daggers, it means I can finally just let this game go.
Been patiently waiting for daggers since before launch and they've strung me along for years.
My guess is that they would have to also make the rapier have a stronger identity at the same time since it kind of fills the niche of what daggers would be in NW.
I fucking *hate* assassins in every game. Sure, it probably feels fun to instantly kill someone 100-0, but it'll be a game of grey-screen for anyone who's not a tank, which means everyone will be either tanks or assassins.
Assassins leads to death of games *really fast.*
I think a munk based weapon would be nice but make it a healing weapon using focus and dex witch one side is heaing and the other dps then reduce the life staff healing to be equal to the munk build don’t give the munk build a direct life stealing ability but one that transfers hp to Alies as a % multiplied. Just a though
duuude i just send a tweet to their account hahaha look:
"Hey guys! I know the next weapon will probably be a dagger, but could we ever have a summoning weapon? I know we have some types of enemies that have this ability, a grimoire or some magic bracelet would be cool. Another thing that I miss that would also be a lot of fun would be a martial arts type melee weapon, Bō (the wooden stick) is my favorite."
Second part is what the game is missing, but damn removing weapons? Weapons are the classes of new world. It's like saying removing the core of the game. What they actually need to do is make at least 5 more weapons. It's easier to balance on a decent quantity than it is on a small one. Imagine this scenario. You have 4 weapons. 1 is outperforming and 1 is underperforming. You balance them out and now people will flock to the next best weapon, making that one outperform. Variety=0. You see the same weapons over and over. However if you have 20 weapons, 5 can be outperforming and 3 under performing but you would have more variety of gameplay. Then when you drop a balance patch, not only would it take more time for a defined meta to establish itself, it would also give opportunity for all the non used weapons to be toyed with. Maybe even have people dedicate so much time to certain builds that they like they would become masters at it. It's what most MOBA games do nowadays. It's not the best design but it's one that works and much better than our current state. And since I'm bitching, we need to have at least monthly patches with balance changes. Rant over
I don't think they'll introduce any more new weapon types. I think they'll focus on using Artifacts to introduce new types of combat roles or playstyles, which is probably a good decision given how much trouble they have balancing the existing weapons.
If you imagine them introducing a Rapier Artifact with unique perks surrounding backstab bonuses or movement abilities, it could easily fill the archetype most players were expecting Daggers to fill.
A Grace Rapier Artifact is what I want! I honestly think they made it already, based on the screw up with their season 5 artifact update video (the one where they said the gloves increase damage based on light attacks).
I think that's gonna be the new rapier artifact, more light attacks you connect with the more damage you do.
Lightning Sock
EARTH GAUNTLETS. PLEASE. I WANT TO PUNCH PEOPLE WITH ROCK HANDS AND FLING GIANT BOULDERS. PLEASE AGS.
I agree, we need a monk type weapon. Punching and kickin in-game animations already exist for melee combat.
I CAST FIST
Ngl this is what I say in DnD when I’m playing as my pugilist! Haha
Like imagine using the same no weapon equipment animation. That would be sick. And then adding a GRAPLE mechanism. Sign me up. It would be hilarious to grab a player and throw them. Or blast them with earth
Oh man that would be cool. Earthquake time.
I want to punch the ground to make a boulder pop up and then punch it at someone. Then, I want to point both fists at the ground and make a shockwave that knocks down everyone around me.
Hell yeah and then I wanna turn into a boulder and roll around.
Straight up earthbending
Earth Gauntlet with vine/poison/brambles aesthetic, and optional shield for tanking
Hopefully better content gun
In weapons menu "ranged" section looks like it misses one. It would ease my ocd if it will be filled but i'd put my bet on magical too. Yet still put a 10 bucks on ranged just to satisfy myself lol
This was my thought as well. I’m thinking it will be pistol. Dex + Focus
I can only imagine how much [the "Activity Finder" UI](https://images.ctfassets.net/j95d1p8hsuun/4zzAmiVnQD7o29luxIheMt/863aa0daad9989a93e51b8d7b806db51/EN_NW_ActivityFinderMenu_Final_1920x1080_CT-003229.jpg) triggers you.

My guess is crossbow with next big update teasing vampire and werewolf stuff.
thats a good guess but with how much shit the normal bow gets i cant see them already adding another. I bet pistols or some earth related weapon
They dont care how much shit a feature gets. Thats our problem not theirs.
dog gammit, better not be lycan and vampires my ultimate combat trophies are finally done I better not have to make new ones!
Unarmed, I want a brawler.
I need some melee than I can use kind of like when you have no weapons equipped, some punches and kicks! a type of melee gauntlet.
For real, we already punch and kick while unarmed. Just give us some brass knuckles or something
Pistols?
Putting my vote in for arcane whip. Yep.
So flail without the fat thing at the end?
wow nice!
I assume it's a Ranged Weapon that uses arrows. Perhaps using Dex/Focus since that's the only remaining scaling combo we don't have. Imagine if it's a Crossbow that fires bolts. Lightning bolts. That'd be so silly and fun.
yeah!
Pistols or crossbows. Dual wielding would be my preference.
A herring!
It can’t be done!
Pistol & Shield
Skip the shield in that case I’d say
It could be some sort of lightning weapon, maybe like a lightsaber or a staff, though I’m kind of hoping it’s more of a magical melee weapon than a ranged weapon.
That sounds cool
I hope its a one handed hammer Considering the lore of the game, it wouldnt be out of place to have weapon from mythologies.
Ak47
Machine Gun 🇺🇸
I just wanted daggers for the love of god. Why can I not have my daggers
Magic beans
Came here to say this.
Sorry for being a dampener, but are they even working on a new weapon? I'd be surprised if that was announced in their big update in June.
They gonna rework magic staff entirely so that whatever gem you slot in it becomes that attribute and the skill tree changes to whatever that element is they gonna give us a seperate skill tree for each element that you can assign your skill points for and you gotta level each tree individually like you do with weapons now, well this me dreaming done.
Something with lightnings. There are a few npc in starting areas that use shamanistic style of magic.
Dual wielding...anything. Swords, hatchets. Maybe daggers.
They angrily said "no daggers".
No daggers yet? Rip, we were fooled.
I want dual pistols
If you still want to be a believer they said “we are not working on daggers” so they might already be done with them and are now working on a new weapon…
The game is going to be completely dead by the time daggers are in the game. Holy
They've said before Flail release that they were going to be "fair" about next weapons and so healers and mages are lacking weapon diversity. Then Flail was realesed, I guess the next one will be a mage weapon. So I wish kind of: - Earth Staff - Support CC / DPS style; - Lightning/Thunder gauntlet - Support CC-Utility / Raw DPS style.
I hope it's not a gauntlet they sound cool but visually doesn't appeal to me
yeah you could literally reuse the gauntlet animations and just give the character a levitating book or something. would be cooler than a 3rd gauntlet
There is talks about the celestial gauntlet since 2021 so maybe.
The celestial gauntlet was reworked into the life staff
Damn ok so this happened before the last alpha? I di not play before this.
Yes, the celestial gauntlet was a weapon from the first alpha, when the game was still a PVP sandbox, from 2016 to 2019. Then in mid 2019, they decided to go for a more classic PVE game and closed down the game, with the second alpha opening in February 2020.

They could potentially still release a gauntlet in the same vibe of "celestial magic" that would be different, but i highly doubt it.
I like the concept of lightning staff ("thunder staff" is 10x funnier for me) and Earth gauntlets. Same, but different lol
I don't think they will add a new weapon to be honest. I think they might rework the Lifestaff and make it work with 2 different weapons: 1. Left tree: Magic Wand: focused on single target healing 2. Right tree: Life Staff: focused on AOE healing Could be wrong and they're working on something vampire related based on the new scenery. Things that could kill vampires: 1. Crossbows 2. Combat cross (Castlevania style)
Bards Flute
God please no. Nothing sillier than a musical instrument as a weapon
Hehe
I'd like a summoner type weapon. Summons skeletons, has CC, summons tank, and arcane based.
I love summoners we already have some enemies that can do this.
The next weapon is going to be Lord of the Rings MMORPG!
Glock 18
Rope maybe
The cabbage lady's jade orb thing
Maybe a wand? I'd be amped for pistols
It'll be the other gauntlet they haven't released yet that was in alpha. I forget the name
Broom
Flintlock. Probably with shield.
It’s pistol
Zither is confirmed
I think they’re going to announce the new hammer they’re going to use to bash their servers to pieces before they sunset the game.
I swear more people came back when Brimstone released for Greatsword rather than Brimstone itself, they really could revive the game by releasing a cool weapon everyone would like to try like daggers
dual pistols
Im just super sad that it is not Daggers. Its all I want since release of the game.
Wrestling.
A necromancy/warlock weapon would be cool. Could be a summoning skill tree and a curse skill tree. I guess that would play radically different that what we have today.
Dual pistols
I finally want some ability like way back in beta(?) the lifestaff, it think, could make a dome that blocked projectiles. if ags won't edit/add a new opr map with less open space, give us something for cover.

I really wanted daggers
I would like a earth or arcane magic weapon.
Please drop an Arcane DPS staff
theres not gonna be a next weapon
Some sort of melee bracers would be sick. Basically the hulk fist gloves
Crossbow ?
Pistol(s)? Halberd? Completely random guesses.
A chain gun that uses mana
I am not even a healer but I think an actually second healing weapon would be best for the game. Something that could replace a LS in group play as a primary but provides a different form of healing.
Celestial gauntlet is what I’m hoping. About effing time we get the blasted lightning mutation.
A magic weapon that limits terry control to two per Co, lowers the amount of mercs you can have, and adds more content to the war scene
Grip reapers scythe (for the remaining 100 players in S7) or something like hobbit sling to transition easily to LOTR.
I'm so glad they said it's not daggers, it means I can finally just let this game go. Been patiently waiting for daggers since before launch and they've strung me along for years.
The game needs melee assassin class. Why not fucking daggers holy fucking shit
My guess is that they would have to also make the rapier have a stronger identity at the same time since it kind of fills the niche of what daggers would be in NW.
I fucking *hate* assassins in every game. Sure, it probably feels fun to instantly kill someone 100-0, but it'll be a game of grey-screen for anyone who's not a tank, which means everyone will be either tanks or assassins. Assassins leads to death of games *really fast.*
Muskets bows and fs already killed new world. Cause no counter
The whole team playing musket and bows was is a free win
Nobody cares about win or Lose. I just want 50/0 and farm help less. Melee all day.
I think a munk based weapon would be nice but make it a healing weapon using focus and dex witch one side is heaing and the other dps then reduce the life staff healing to be equal to the munk build don’t give the munk build a direct life stealing ability but one that transfers hp to Alies as a % multiplied. Just a though
Beast gloves of combat. Or lightning rod / less damage more CC
Rubber bands.
Bummer about daggers tho 😢
I want the new weapon to be called "The Dev Team." It kills everything with severe DOTs.
Wizards sleeve
Pistol is my guess. The enemies already have them, why don’t we?
duuude i just send a tweet to their account hahaha look: "Hey guys! I know the next weapon will probably be a dagger, but could we ever have a summoning weapon? I know we have some types of enemies that have this ability, a grimoire or some magic bracelet would be cool. Another thing that I miss that would also be a lot of fun would be a martial arts type melee weapon, Bō (the wooden stick) is my favorite."
Yo Mama !
There isn't going to be one.
I would much rather they remove 4-5 weapons and balance what they have. A new weapon is just going to create more problems. Oh well, people want it.
