So, it’s a small idea I got while playing and was wondering if I was the only crazy one who thought it can be a good idea.
Right now we can throw any melee weapon and recall it, but what if instead of the weapon coming back to you, you go to the weapon with another button? In a way like Minato (in Naruto)
IMO it would create a two main thing
•** More dynamic/faster navigation**, if you can teleport to your weapon, it create a new dynamic way to move in combat where you can doge or move around faster
•** Better way of reaching high/away place**, imagine being able to throw your weapon on top of a mountain then teleport to it, would prevent a 10 min walk around it, I now that when we will have mount it won’t be as useful, but still

I know that it would break a lot of thing already in place in the game it it’s not that realist of an idea, but want to throw it here anyway to see others opinion on it

As a pact passive i can see this working, in general it's just not feasible

#

Food for thought, you know how ode tempest has gravitate that teleports you to the enemy? Maybe something like that

#

Like, you pull the weapon toward you and it pull you back, so it moves you forward. Or maybe if it hits something within, say, 5 meters it teleports you to it in a somewhat grounded position

I didn't got the chance to try ode tempest yet, but you make me curious 👀
I adjust the message above to clarify, I wasn't thinking of removing the recall, but instead adding the other option, like right now normal attack make you just punch when you don't have your weapon, it's not that useful in general (IMO), it could be replace with teleport to it instead

Doing it for all weapons would just be introducing bullet jump to the game, I don't think DE wants that for Soulframe.

#

Although I could see a grappling hook arrow as an alternate Heavy Attack for a unique bow.

#

They'd have to steal the tech from Valkyr's 1 from Warframe but it could work.

Like others have said, it could work well as a pact upgrade. Throw the weapon at a person and then get pulled over to that enemy. I think it sounds more interesting and exciting than the current Ode Tempest kick/grappling hook because the kick does not feel very aggressive or powerful. Meanwhile the weapon throw is stronger and can target different body parts more easily.

It would be a satisfying follow up or finisher to pull yourself over to an enemy who already has your weapon stuck into them. IMO the combo would be something like "If you throw your weapon at an enemy and get a critical hit, you automatically teleport over to them and do a ground finisher", but it probably wouldn't work on bosses.
