“Interviewer: So the question is, they've seen concept art, and they've seen some things of polearms, but they don't pop up in the official list of weapons we so far mentioned... so will there be polearms? Will they come later, or..?
Eric Flannum: So really early on we had polearms included in the game, and we actually did all of our concept art for our weapons and included polearms in the sets which I think a lot of people caught up on. Polearms unfortunately didn't make it into the final cut of the game, and so we won't have them on release, but you never know, they might make an appearance later on.
— Q&A with Guild Wars 2 Lead Game Designer Eric Flannum
The polearm is an unimplemented two-handed weapon. It was part of the game in early development stages, but wasn't included as a playable weapon in the final cut.[1]

Shining Blade weapons.
Notes[edit]
- It is likely many former polearm skins were converted into spear skins later into development.
- Even though the polearm weapons are no longer available for players, multiple NPCs throughout the game can be seen using polearms in combat:
- Centaurs wield Modniir Impalers in their main hand.
- Hylek wield Spades of the Deep in their main hand.
- Quaggans wield two-handed Dragonspines.
- Watchknights wield two-handed Seraph Spears.
- Seraph Guards and Primeval Sunspear Guards wield two-handed historical polearms.
- Sunspear Paragons and Sunspear Paragon Recruits also wield polearms.
- There are currently 15 polearm skins left in the game (,,,,,,,,,,,,,,).
