MK1-BO not working...

[ZanyScum]

I am sure I just don't understand something, so please help me.
My current (last) equipment has the MK1-BO which is some kind of staff.
But I can't use it. The bow and the shooting knifes are working but when I try to use the MK1-BO it just makes same weird noises and flashes a bit.

I don't think the game is at fault here because a beginner weapon in this game should work after some years :-)

So, where am I doing it wrong?

press E to use melee, left click activates Channeling Melee Damage

If I use melee, the staff is used and I kill with it.
But if I switch to the staff, left click does not attack and even the melee attack does not work any longer.
Should it be a no brainer and work out of the box? Do I need some stance or something? I see different icons selected when I scroll the mouse wheel, perhaps that is needed?

Or should I do integrity check of my game? 20 GB... I wanted to play today :-(

You use E to make melee attacks regardless of whether you've got a gun or the staff in hand.

When holding the melee weapon in hand, holding left mouse button activates Channelling - while channeling, each melee strike consumes some energy but deals notably more damage.

dude, E is melee attack in any case, E E E E E E E E E E E E

Left click is not melee attack, by holding left click you are activating Channeling Damage that spends energy to deal more damage

You can try rebinding your keys to equip melee instead of using quick melee:
I have mine set to Q, tapping Q pulls out my swords, M1 is attack M2 is block and E is channeling
