Pro Tip for Melee builds in control options

[Fedsmoker]

Settings > Controls > Melee with Fire Weapon Input (can now attack with mouse button 1)

Whoever put melee attack on E as default is a masochist

So, like, you would prefer to shoot with the E button then?
Sure have fun against a third of the bosses with melee bound to mouse 1

You still shoot with Mouse button 1 just press E again to get rid of melee or zooming should auto bring up your 1st or last slotted range weapon IE you still use E to switch to blade but mouse 1 to attack which just flows better. Nothing changes about how you shoot any range just makes it much easier to use a melee build without cramping your left hand to ♥♥♥♥.

Oh they might have reworked the keybind options after the quick melee rework
Could take that for a spin for a couple of missions to see if it'd work out for me
Though I mostly play only guns anyways so for me it's pretty redundant to minmax melee inputs that much

Yes its a huge QOL improvement, I was going to bail on my melee focused build if I couldn't find a way to remap the attack key but thankfully they already have system in place without remap even needed

Eh I tried Mouse button 1 melee. Not a fan personally
Im used to E and it works fine for me.

Mouse thumb (m4) is the best, works great with timing and doesn't muck about with other actions like shooting or right strafe.

Interesting all the preferences in just each reply here so far. I guess coming from Elden Ring and Ghostunner MB1 clicks for melee and quick combos while crouch sliding or flying through the air just feels right (frees up left hand for move movement/maneuvers/strafing). Don't have frame of reference for playing action games any other way.

Yea I use m4 for melee in most games haha.

I accidentally tried this too, because probably it's set to be up by default, and it simply prevents you from using the primary and secondary weapons after fine homing to fire a Glaive (which still is somewhat borked up when trying to use its stances it still always gets stuck somewhere along the way).

I'm definitelly not a fan of this change and since it has been brought to my attention (with this thread) I'll try to swiftly find the "option" to disable it.

Doesn't the game default to the option I listed above anyway in the Duvari Paradox sections when you get the dual blades? (mb1 attack/mb2 block, middle mouse power attacks) Seems like that is the correct way and using E to melee is a weird quirk I have never seen in any other action game for a main attack.
