Community Article: Grimgold Periastron Beta Gear Review!

The description of this sword is "The sword men use to fight bears... in space." When I read that and saw the sword, I was laughing at the fact Roblox would make that as it's description. Definitely underestimated. If you want a sword that literally can fight bears... in space, then definitely keep reading.

Grimgold Periastron Beta 

Mesh: 10/10
The mesh really fits the 'out of this world' look as it has a futuristic appearance. It almost has the appearance of a light-saber when observing the actual blade. The angel wings with the circle at the handle adds a nice touch as well as the almost woven, circular handle.

Texture: 7/10
The texture is okay, but what it doesn't have is a color scheme. The 'flaming' blade is a nice color blend, but the green handle somewhat throws it off. The angel wings and the rainbow colored symbol add a nice touch to the gradient-looking blade.

Ability: 9/10
Definitely a sword you would want to have in a fighting situation. This sword looks cool and threatening no doubt, maybe taking a little of the threat away with the colors, but the abilities are trembling. First of all, the sword has a variety of different movements it makes when someone slashes it, which gives a nice range of attack. It also uses the new common lunge in which you actually slide toward the position your mouse is pointing to. Not only that, but when you press q, the sword starts spinning around! Try experimenting with first person and MouseLock camera modes to get the best effect of the spinning sword. The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10, is because there are no sounds, which kind of takes away from the cool abilities.

Overall: 8.7/10

Pros:
Mesh is great
Abilities show true strength

Cons:
No sounds when attacking
Colors don't 'blend'

This sword is a great weapon and a really nice design and idea from the ROBLOX staff. The sword, being Limited Unique, was once on sale for 2000 robux and sold 400 copies, which sold out rather quickly. The sword's current average price is around 3,500 robux, which gives the original buyers a pretty nice profit. I expect that the price will go up between today and tomorrow, so I would hold on to it if you were lucky enough to purchase this one-of-a-kind swords.

Thank you CODSniperKid for this detailed gear review!
