Sword of Crota You can in fact use a sword, but only for a portion of one story mission. The Sword of Crota. Near the end, you pick up said Sword of Crota, and (according to the guide) “picking up the Sword of Crota replaces your gun and super ability. It is an extremely powerful melee weapon that can tear through weaker enemies.” The guide also mentions that “If available, use the Sword of Crota’s super attack on the boss and use the weaker Hive units to build it back up.” After the mission (the first time), you get the item Blade Shards which you can trade for an armor upgrade. Sword controls: Button Press: Move: R1 Quick Attack R2 Hard Attack R1, R1 2-hit combo R1, R1, R1 3-hit combo R1, R2 2-hit hard combo R1, R1, R2 3-hit hard combo R1 (in air), R2 (in air) 2-hit air combo R1 + R2 (with full super meter) Super (can be cancelled and linked into any combo) I'm super excited about this, What do you guys think?
