The Outer Worlds 2’s weirdest weapon is a flashing rainbow sword that turns combat into a rhythm game I’m terrible at

The Spectrum Dance Saber is a unique melee weapon in The Outer Worlds 2, requiring players to complete a collectible quest to unlock it, costing 16,500 bits. Its special perk, Dance Mode, involves performing dance actions to maintain its power during combat, with a new user interface and musical score guiding rhythm-based gameplay. The sword can freeze enemies (white) or cause them to explode (red) upon contact. In a super state, it unleashes multiple effects on enemies without needing to maintain rhythm. Players can power up the sword by swinging it from cover. To acquire the sword, players must complete the Paradise Island quest, unlock Free Market Station, and collect 25 Tossball/Pitchball cards to access Fionna F. Walker's exclusive inventory at The 2nd Choice tavern. Cards are found throughout Paradise Island, Free Market Station, and Golden Ridge.
