Make the welder flame a meter long, and takes H2 from you
Yeah...a light-saber.
SE2 is a fully physicalized world, it is an obvious match made in Heaven.
Make a clean break from the CounterStrike FPS paradigm for metrics on how to make a shooter. The US doesn't really have that culture, we grew up with Halo and it's derivatives. We don't really know how much of Europe flocks to CS2, and for serious money.
SE2 needs a weapon that breaks that CS2 paradigm...like Valve did with the gravity gun. Have the welder pull H2 from you backpack through the gas line, extend the cutting flame out a meter or so...and then chase people and wave it around. Blades can be 'sticky' when they contact each other, to get around the ....skill... portion of melee combat. Slice blocks, grids, leave glowing pieces behind. Quicker than grinder, fully destroys it though.
A unique weapon Keen can use to take advantage of a fully destructible game world...it would be memorable to players. Leave CS2 behind, make your own combat choice, for SE2 world.
