I’d rename Katana to “Saber”, for some reason I find that word underused, when discussing blades.
Besides, Katana IS technically saber, so why not use that majestic “saber” instead.
P.S.
No I’m not intending any Spanish puns here at all. Really.

Honestly I’d probably rename Guardian. Hate the word, hate the spelling, and it sounds pretty uncreative. There’s no good way to shorten it either. Like, we have Prox, Skybro, Phanny, etc. But what is Guardian supposed to be? Guard?
Plus every time I spell it out I always read “gooardian” in my head.
I heard someone say she was supposed to be named Haven instead, and I really have no idea why they changed it. Still not the best sounding name, but it’s so much better.
Rename Guardian’s rifle and pistol to something I can actually pronounce.
Sawbonez into Sawbones. I don t like when people change c into k or s into z. For years I tought that combat was spelled with an k.

Katanas are NOT technically , literally, figuratively or even remotely sabres
Katana is a 2 handed weapon, Sabre is 1 handed light curved blade, originally for fencing
they’re both edged weapons, any other similarities are coincidental

Her rifle is literally called Hurts All.

As far as I know the developers never intended Guardian to be named Haven, the community came up with that idea.

Yeah you can blame the reddit community for that one

Fictional weapons may exist in your world, but the rest of us live in a real place
sabers are 1 handed weapons

Rename the Selbstadt .40 to the .45 because, ya know, it’s actually modeled after a .45 and even has it printed on it in the game.
Though I love the post and have a few things I plan on renaming and sharing here: a Katana is simply not a saber. Sabers, or “Sabre” if not in North America were, by my knowledge, 90% of the time through history as a cavalry weapon (As in you’re on a horse) or a sidearm for light soldiers in different time periods. A saber is specifically identified as a “Backsword” because it’s one-handed, with a singular sharp side. In the case of Sabers, they are also usually curved. So… no… Katana is a straight blade that’s usually double handed. Anything claiming a Saber is two handed or absolutely straight like a katana is simply not a saber, but something named like a saber.
I also really would love a saber in Dirty Bomb. Would love to have fencing or dueling type weapons for sure.
Anyway, back on topic: Renaming only ONE thing in Dirty Bomb? Probably Guardian. Her name feels weird… Honestly they probably could have used a Korean word for her too, like boho or usan. Of which mean shield, or umbrella. Umbrella is weird in English though. Maybe Warden, Haven, Goalie, something…
Actually, Catcher is a nice name. And Extinguisher.
