Melee on Right Arm.

[Kazeck]

Is it just not possible to get melee weapons for the right arm? I'd like to do a duel blade build, and I really dislike the specific melee to left hand.

I also miss shoulder mounts and old school tuning, but I really cannot stand the lack of melee on right hand.

take no right arm wep with into a mission you can the melee all you want

This is surprisingly viable. The punch does more damage than you'd expect.

Unarmed attacks are actually pretty good and is the only right hand melee. It's also very viable to take pulse blade and another melee weapon on the shoulder and alternate between them each attack. Let's you do pretty insane damage since pulse blade cools down fast enough to double pulse blade > laser lance/sword > double pulse blade. That is a TON of damage. Also make sure to use the basho arms. The melee specialization stat of your arms scales melee damage very heavily. Basho is like 25% more damage than the second best melee arms.

My mech runs pulse blade left arm, laser lance left shoulder, nothing right arm, zimmerman left shoulder. Got 11k AP but zoom around super fast and do a billion damage. Beat the final boss of the liberator ending before he could finish his dialogue.

i know thats why i suggested it

Sadly, not possible. The best you can do is have two swappable melee weapons on the left hand size.

Also duel melee has been a thing forever, it's just weird to me.

I was surprised in one of my attempts at Balteus where I went in with dual pulse guns (plain stupid I know) and when they ran out I staggered him and punched him into like 8 or 10 pixels left of life.

Of course he promptly bazookaed my face before I could count that one as a win...

Yeah the punch isn't too bad, I actually carry a shoulder mount on my melee heavy builds so I can swap to punching when needed for range closing.

Now I'm curious, does different arms do different amount of punch damage?
Cause I think the kick OS thing does damage scaling with your AC overall weight if I'm not wrong.
That would be cool if it is like that.

Different scale ALL your melee damage including punch. Basho arms easily best. Melee specialization specifically is the stat that ups it.

Yes, unfortunately the actual 'weight' of the arm has nothing to do with it, just the melee spec stat.

The Wuerger Shotgun charge attack is a mini lance essentially.
I've been using it as my "Right hand melee" since I got it, plus it doubles as a shotgun just in case.

Japan doesn't have any left handed people though... :)

yeah melee is locked on left and which i found disappointing i wanted to do a full melee build

[Akira]

So far, lots of things disappointing in this game compared to previous ones.
