In full
What that means when you are planning
EA name exactly four weapon types — Longarm, Repeater, Rifle and Pistol — and the lightsaber is not among them. Previewers describe her lightsaber attacks and a later throw, so it clearly exists as something.
This site records it on her Operator page and deliberately does not enter it as a fifth weapon type. Adding one would be asserting a structure nobody has published, and the honest answer to this question is that it is open.
What we don't know yet
The game has not been released. These are open questions we have chosen not to guess at.
- Whether the lightsaber fills the weapon slot, is a class feature, or is modelled some third way.
- How her lightsaber attack is costed.
