How do I melee attack with Hellbreath?

[Tainted_1]

"In addition to its high firepower, the Hellbreath can make melee attacks by shocking enemies with the electrified rails at the front of the weapon's barrel."-

-From the fandom wiki page[metrovideogame.fandom.com] of Metro.


But unfortunately I can not find out how on earth do you do that! Playing for the second time and in Ranger Hardcore mode so no Help/Context buttons, please help me find this out!

Melees are hard to do with this engine, similar to Battlefield, they now have takedown animations which gives non lethal aspects as well. That was in the original game, beyonets and free melees were mostly removed. Notice the model next to that text is from 2010?

Exodus brought back melees a little bit, you can gun butt/punch enemies. I thought you could kick enemies; but maybe that's just on stuck doors, not enemies.

Thanks for the info, won't have to bothered by that again.
