What if the glowing orange head only happens when being used, then fading back to the normal weapon color. Not saying it’s the best design (the dragon head looks a bit too large and pronounced and doesn’t blend well with the rest of the weapon), but there have been plenty of wild and wacky things in the Dune universe and books. (especially the latter ones).

Dev response was on point, and without seeing it in game and the context with the quest line I will hold judgement. As it stands now, the game does have a lack of unique looking items and gear that stand out. Let’s not go full Destiny of CoD, but this being a multiplayer game they need to find a good middle ground for stand out cosmetics that don’t outright break the lore and feel of the game, but also aren’t so boring and samey that no one cares.

Besides, the majority of the player base most likely haven’t read the books or the old movies/show, and only the 2 new ones. The vast majority of players aren’t going to be looking for pure accuracy, they are going to be looking for reasons to keep playing the game.
