Remove the Axe blade from the default Axe model you have a quaterstaff.
Remove the spiked ball from the default Mace model you have a nightstick.
Remove the axe blade from the Alien Organic Axe 2 model you have a futuristic nightstick.

3 simple model edits.

It would be so easy and make a lot of people happy. Well at least 1 garanteed :)

agreed.

batons instead of swords would be nice for people who want to play Escrima style MAs

(ok that may lead to Kick-Ass copycats, but as an option, it would rock).

also baseball bats, hockey sticks, cricket bats, golf clubs.

(my PnP vigilante Nine-iron needs to be brought to this game)

addendum: a quarterstaff/shaolin staff/nuchaku/baton powerset wouldnt be a bad idea either

Nah! Villains are tough and can take a good axing without any permanent injury.

Now, if anything needs some nerfing down its the fish hooks that for some reason underwater villains can happily push through my power armour and my somewhat squishy torso with alarming regularity!
