Give the Double War Scythe a sprite when in hand

Post by Shyguychizzy » 29 Nov 2016, 19:02

I suppose this be best in "The Hunt" section as the beloved Double War Scythe lacks one thing and that is simply the sprite when it is in hand. (when I mean in hand meaning once in hand no sprite pops up on the character looks like just fists) (Example of when its in hand: https://gyazo.com/bf594132d1a7d85906f1c574b26a2d36) This be a simple suggestion regarding predator's weapon.

How would one fix this solution? Well perhaps even if it is the simple scythe sprite when in hand would do good, I would presume it be simple coding, as well just an easy one.

Many times I have mistaken it not in hand not seeing it on my character as well its literally the only weapon that has no sprite when in hand for it regarding predators. I do suppose it would help with not confusing marines or xenos when we attack them for they see a unarmed pred but in reality it is a scythe in hand, it is unknown if marines or xenos have reported or been salt or have probably have been.

But a foolish Xeno Hunter wielder of robustness stepped forth and opposed me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore a gate of Salt of Solitude and flung em into the world of CM, and took out their Facehugger Capabilities! Now, this Xeno Fool seeks to return the favour, and undo my evil reign and of many other predator predecessors!

Pretty sure it had one at some point. Might be a bug.

Well many times I have gone to hunt and chose it, it hasn't oddly enough shown in hand, as well other who chose it as well have same issue. For quite sometime I have noticed as a predator, the human scythe in which is in hydro I believe has a sprite when in hand but the predator scythe lacks it, possibly it could have same sprite has the war scythe (Custom one if wanted) if you could implement it?

I love the war sythe, but I don't wanna use it because of its missing spirit. Would be great to see a spirit added.
I'm stressing way too hard about what to put here, so I'm just gonna leave it blank.... or....

Ghost scythe, has the soul of its victims added, it pours salt on the wounds of its victims.
The ghost scythe is told to have been the instrument of a Yautja playing the role of the Reaper on earth during Halloween.

(AKA: Joking about spirit added <3 PS: Would be funny fluff item to add)
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Agreeing with Noize, fairly sure it's a bug. The reason being that in the past it used to use the same sprite as the farming scythe found in hydroponics.

Also fix it to where it can be stored on the back slot.
