Zweihander - change of plans!

Hey guys!
We've been receiving some questions about the Zweihander weapon (2-handed Bruiser sword) and we had planned to offer it in the Bundle Shop this week. But this is not happening anymore.
The Zweihander will be available in the next update in a Season-Campaign like we had with the RPG and the Winter Bow. So it will be the highlighted weapon of the event, which means that it's achievable just by playing the game every day (without having to buy bundles or restart the distance).
The reason we are making this change is that we didn't have enough time to create a new (and cool!) weapon for the campaign due to the number of Guild Wars bugs we are fixing at the moment.
More information about the campaign itself will be available next to its release date, but the plan is to address most of the complaints we had with the Walker Wonderland.
I'm sorry if you were saving some money for that weapon specifically, but I guess you can use it on something else now since the weapon will be available for free if you play the game daily during the campaign!
And thank you for reading!

Zweihänder
The Zweihänder (German pronunciation: [t͡svaɪhɛndɐ] (German 'two-hander'), also Doppelhänder ('double-hander'), Beidhänder ('both-hander'),[1] Bihänder or Bidenhänder, is a large two-handed sword primarily in use during the early decades of the 16th century.
Zweihänder swords developed from the longswords of the Late Middle Ages and became the hallmark weapon of the German Landsknechte from the time of Maximilian I (d. 1519) and during the Italian Wars of 1494–1559. The Goliath Fechtbuch (1510) shows an intermediate form between longsword and Zweihänder.
These swords represent the final stage in the trend of increasing size that started in the 14th century. In its developed form, the Zweihänder acquired the characteristics of a polearm rather than a sword due to their large size and weight and therefore increased range and striking power. Consequently, it was not carried in a sheath but across the shoulder like a halberd.
By the second half of the 16th century, these swords had largely ceased to have a practical application, but they continued to see ceremonial or representative use well into the 17th century. Some ceremonial zweihänder, called "bearing-swords" or "parade-swords" (Paradeschwert), were much larger and weighed about 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms).[2]

That might depend on the damage. If it's maybe a bit less than a scout weapon's damage, then imagine using it for attack/overwatch, retaliate, and punish. You might basically end up with a bruiser that acts like a heavily armored, less mobile scout.

A scout not invested in damage perhaps. Bruiser only doing big damage if you sacrifice his defensive investment. In which case retaliate and punish come at a high price. Injures...
Especially if you're not stunning
